WHY READING MATTERS
Why? Because if I hadn't read The DaVinci Code first, I never would have understood the movie, despite all its unintentionally hilarious expository dialogue. Poor Audrey Tatou--all she really gets to do is let out a quoi? every once in a while to let Tom Hanks explain to us all just what is going on.
"X-Men 3" is way better.

"Quoi?" is pretty much all her character said in the book.
Yeah, like the book wasn't chock-full of unintentionally hilarious expository dialogue? My God, they'll be running away from men with guns, and suddenly he stops and says something like, "Wait! I just remembered something!" and then he gives this three-page speech . . .
And then she says the equivalent of "What?"
Yes, you don't understand why he hasn't pulled allll his hair out by the end of the movie.
The big problem I had with it was that once you compressed the book down to two hours, the unrealistic number of narrow escapes became more readily apparent. I was sitting there going, "They're wandering around the museum getting clues while the police are chasing them, and it *worked*???" They needed Arnold S. with an uzi to make some of their near-misses realistic. Too much suspension of disbelief required.
I liked being able to see the art as they talked about it. But that's all.
I cannot believe that all around the world, people are running around in an uproar, being heartily entertained by the notion that a man might have been married and had children. The human race is incredible. We should all become aardvarks.
Then we'd be running around in an uproar looking for anthills.
