The eagerly awaited Da Vinci Code movie premiered last night at Cannes Film Festival and, well, it didn't go over as well as some would have liked. I guess disappointment is to be expected when a project has been mired in over-hype and controversy from its onset. The movie will most likely still slay at the box office, (Tom Hanks still pulls midge-agers out of the wood work) but maybe it won't be sweeping the awards season. Hollywood trade paper Variety had this to say:

Tackling head-on novelist Dan Brown's controversy-stirring thriller hinging on a subversively revisionist view of Jesus Christ's life, director Ron Howard and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman have conspired to drain any sense of fun out of the melodrama, leaving expectant audiences with an oppressively talky film that isn't exactly dull, but comes as close to it as one could imagine with such provocative material; result is perhaps the best thing the project's critics could have hoped for.

Ouch. Well, thats what you get for messing with the man upstairs.
