I heard the same. I'm reading the book, and I must say it's quite overrated. While the plot is nifty, I feel the book was very poorly written. The wording and dialog ue seems forced.
That's odd. I heard the book was great. It's just the movie that I heard bad things about.
I read the book and enjoyed it. Dan Brown is a good storyteller, but definitely not the best writer. I also saw the movie and thought it was much better than all of the bad reviews it received. I went in with low expectations, but i was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend it.

I saw it. I was bored because I knew what was going to happen. And it was so long.
At least I know what Audrey Tautou sounds like in english now, though!

That's the one Amatoxin.
Dr_gonz just use SafePeer or PeerGuardian, you'll be fine. And if you do get busted let them prove it wasn't your neighbor leeching off your wireless network.

Same here.

I read the book about a year ago. Interesting premise and not too bad plotting, but the guy can't write his way out of a paper bag. TERRIBLE dialogue, clumsy phrasing, zero character development. His editor should be fired for allowing the book to be published as it was.
Seeing as how movies almost never match up to the quality of the book they are taken from, the odds of this being a good movie are slim to none.

The movie sucked IMO. There were all these protests outside so I had expectations of this really controversial movie and all. Well, who cares if Christ was married and had kids? He was a 30 year old Jew 2000 years ago when he started on his ministry. My bet is that he was like most Jews of the time and married young, had kids, etc. etc.
Anyhow, the movie was disappointing. I never read the book.

I have a couple of movie critics I read all the time because I feel they actually know what they're talking about. Do you do that, or do you just "hear that critics didn't like movie X"?
I usually don't pay attention to the movie critics, unless there is a major consensus among them. I still plan on seeing the movie. But I'll just go in with lower expectations now.
What he said. If one or two critics bad mouth a movie, it might still be good, but IMHO if it is universially loathed it usually sucks.
