My memories of watching it in the cinema in 1986/7 are much different.
It seemed ok then.
Looking at the reviews, it seems that some think it's the best film ever.

I'm with Ellis Peters opinion, really.
She reckoned the book was a rip off of Cadfael and pretentious beyond belief with all that untranslated Latin the twat included.
I think she was right.
Apparently Eco was into semiotics and post modernism whatever the feck that was or is.
