Brett Ratner instead of Bryan Singer. Alarming. Very. Brett Ratner is a guy who copies other directors' styles and makes mediocre movies (read "Red Dragon", where he copied Jonathan Demme and gave the film a generous portion of Ridley Scott). I didn't hate "Red Dragon", it just was what it was. Mediocre at best.
He entered the project a year and a half ago, to replace Bryan Singer. Zak Penn and Simon Kinberg wrote a script in zero time that seems to work just fine. And that's pretty much what Ratner puts up there on the screen: a movie that works just fine. Let's not get too enthusiastic.
On the flip-side we've got some of the performances. Of course, Halle Berry, is just a crashing bore. Her character Storm plans to take over after Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart). This is a complete miscalculation by the filmmakers, as nobody really likes Storm. Storm's prominent role in the series has to do with Halle Berry's (undeserved) star status.
Some of the mutants in the Brotherhood are really colorless, but I guess that's bound to happen as they are the villain's henchmen (and the movie only has 104 minutes at its disposal). In the first movie Singer used a couple of villains that worked great. In Penn and Kinberg's script there's a little too much going on, and too many characters - and so little time. I guess that's what happens when the production team has got 14 months to make a worthy sequel. They do succeed though - kind of. But they do not excel.

The Da Vinci Code Critics have been complaining about the pacing in "The Da Vinci Code." Dull, I've heard. But I have to say that it's quite entertaining despite its running time - approximately 148 minutes.
This truly is a movie version of what I imagined as I read Dan Brown's best-seller; for good and bad. Hence, if you liked what you read... I'm still amused by the fact that people around me took Brown's novel seriously. People who usually are skeptics believed some of the stuff because Brown blurred the line between fact and fiction. I want this stuff to be true, and the world would be a more interesting place if it were. But it's a cock-and-bull story if there ever was one. That becomes even more evident as we see the movie. This is a more straight-faced version of Indiana Jones. Dr. Jones for the ones who consider themselves too old for the archeologist's adventures.
As I see the film I sense that this is an architectural construction; it's lifeless and the people involved made it for the money. Still it's useful for entertainment. These actors, who are otherwise great at what they do, hold back and you can practically see dollar signs in their eyes. Ian McKellen can do this stuff in his sleep, Tom Hanks has acknowledged that he made it for the money, Jean Reno literally sleepwalks as Captain Fache; the acting is competent, but these guys don't seem the least bit hungry.
"The Da Vinci Code" is good entertainment. Even though I know all the twists and turns beforehand, and despite the lack of passion from the cast and crew.
THREE STARS *** Note: The newspaper article with the picture of Sophie Neveus family before the car crash... is the brother Clint Howard? Sure looked like his ugly face.

Wouldn't it be great to see a sequel to THE BIG LEBOWSKI. We could revisit Walter and Jeffrey's L.A. However, there would be no Donny... I didn't like seeing Donny go. The Coens could make a Lebowski that sets in today, instead of the 90ies. Hope the Dude still obides.
