Well, I finally got around to seeing the movie. I was discussing it with the girl in the video shop who said "generally, people who liked the book hate the movie". Well, I thought the book was fairly ordinary but I thought it would translate well to the screen.
How wrong I was. The movie really was not suspenseful, Audrey Tautou (especially) and Tom Hanks both seemed too wooden. Her facial expression hardly changes through the entire movie. What seemed 'cute' in Amelie was out of place in a drama.
Both my wife and I agreed if you want a "puzzle" solving movie, "National Treasure" leaves this for dead.
It was just boring and I want my couple of hours back please!
