Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon?..absurd...

the da vinci code is gonna be out in the theaters sometime in 2006..when i found this out i was quite excited, since i had always thought that that book would make a great movie, possibly a better movie than the book. regardless, while reasearching further into this topic, i had stumbled upon something that completely outraged me....out of all people, Tom Hanks was cast as Robert Langdon!..what?!...if you are unaware (although im sure youre quite familiar, since the da vnci code is surprisngly popular with the adolescent masses) Langdon is a harvard symbologist who quickly finds himself uncovering a mystery and searching for clues to help save an ancient secret.. Langdon is a combination of Indiana Jones and the modern day Sherlock Holmes (thats a huge compliment for the book that wasnt even half as brilliantly written as Conan Doyles adventures)..aand though i still firmly believe that no living man can possibly portray the true essence of Sherlock Holmes, one can definitely act as Indiana Jones...therefore, the role is more for the young Harrison Ford type...i mean this guy is supposed to be sexy..Harrison Ford was sexy..true, it was almost situational sexy..as in..who wouldnt find your typical professor, suddenly placed in the middle of a jungle, searching for artifacts, with that hat, and a whip...ahh....HOT?...however, like i said..it was only almost situational, meaning it couldnt be just anyone....it had to be a smart, well built man, with appealing face features, and a charming personality...and you know all those other things that make a man sexy...my point (besides the fact that Harrison Ford was HOTTTT in that movie)..is for the character of Robert Langdon to be effective the same goal remains....and sadly Tom Hanks just cant pull of sexy....:( ..

on a final note, im in no way trying to critisize Hanks' acting talents..im just saying the guy has to look different. ..
