I'm kinda of surprised. I never thought Ron Howard was a great director, but I figured he was so conventional and safe he wouldn't make a film that would so universally scorned by the critics.
Dan Brown puts together a good tale, as in Deception Point, but the main thesis (like Deception Point) is so outlandish that bringing it to the screen makes it funny, dull, stupid, you name it.
I think DC will one day be remembered in the same category as the Pet Rock.
Your not the only one.
