The premiere is well paced and largely seems to follow the book’s overarching structure. That by no means takes away from the enjoyment though.
And unlike a show as, say, Sherlock that concocted its own peculiar, trippy style of taking us inside Sherlock’s mind as he thought through clues, Peacock’s The Lost Symbol is more interested in being a generic, commercial, entertaining thriller without too much regard to commentary or inventiveness. A lot of it boils down to the nature of storytelling and mystery solving, which is often Langdon digging at clues and drawing connections to history and symbolism that translates better on the page than in a visual medium. The Lost Symbol is mostly off to a competent, well-acted and decently executed premiere but doesn’t offer anything new, novel or unique to the genre that will leave you pondering for days on end.īrown’s novels have the most deliciously adaptable plots, yet Hollywood generally struggles to get them right. Ultimately, the studio decided to do a quasi-prequel of sorts, replacing the aging Tom Hanks with Ashley Zukerman as protagonist symbologist Robert Langdon.
