Many of the critics I have heard/read have said that is the problem -- it is slavishly faithful to the book as though afraid to risk offending the book's fans. It's rare that a book translates directly to a movie -- usually some liberties have to be taken because of the differences in the ways stories are told in books and movies.
I'll probably see it at some point, but ever since hearing that Tom Hanks (who I think is a great actor but not right for every part) was cast as Langdon, I've had very low expectations.
