Ouch, man that pretty well summarizes the review from the Canoe website for the Da Vinci Code, a movie which apparently won't be counting Bruce Kirkland as a fan.
The movie which has attracted the attention and subsequent condemnation by the Catholic church, is to hit wide distribution this week around the world.
Already panned at Cannes, the film festival crowd didn't have many kind things to say about Ron Howard's interpretation of the Dan Brown book. And they aren't alone as critic after critic weighs in with a word or two about the latest Hollywood blockbuster.
It will be interesting to see how the largely negative press affects the box office potential of the movie. Though there are no doubt millions and millions of people willing to shell out good money to watch train wrecks develop on the screen.
As with anything that gets hyped to histrionic levels, The Da Vinci code is quickly finding itself unable to keep up to the original bombast generated about it prior to release.
