It was a fair adaptation from the comic.
Not fantastic, but not that bad.
But of all people, why Nicholas Cage?
And probably because of the recent spate of more successful adaptations, this show failed to deliver the impact to make it stand out from the rest.
What I really hated: Pacing could have been better
If you can get past the slow obligatory start, you will be rewarded with a strong and touching story.
If the slow start turns you off, this show is probably not for you anyway.
On the other hand, if the pace was handled better, theshow would probably have been able to capture a wider audience.
It's very hard to say anything about the movie here without spoiling the movie for those who have yet to watch. What I can say though, is that it was totally not what I expected.
If I were to rate based on what I expected, it would not get even one star.
On its own right, it's a pretty interesting show.
But if you take a step back and relook, it's just the same old story in a brand new packaging.
This movie totally broke all stereo-type common in all other Bond movies.
Bond didn't care if his martini was shaken or stirred, all gadgets shown and used can fit into my wfie's handbag and for once, he didn't end the show in the arms of a Bond girl.
This movie shows a totally different James Bond before he has developed any of his habits, good or otherwise.
And the le parkour chase scene at the beginning rocks!
What I really hated: Boring 'love story' development
Come on! Star Wars has been and should have always been an action flick.
Throwing a long draggy love story in the middle just spoils everything for me.
Would have prefered them to put in more light-saber fights.
Some of the castings were pretty good, especially the French casts.
However, Tom Hanks does not cut it as Dr Robert Langdon for me.
I would had expected a younger and more suavy cast for the roll.
The movie itself follows quite closely to the book as far as I could recall.
Not too bad, but not good enough to make me look forward to other Robert Langdon movies.
