Ive just got no desire to support shitty cinema. I dont see any Hollywood movie except a few by certain directors. It just annoys me that theyve entirely stripped art from cinema.

I actually saw it twice, although not by choice either time. I had no idea really what it was about, so I was fairly entertained the first time, but pretty bored the second. It was confusing both times; it is hard to keep track of characters and plots from an entire novel condensed into 150 minutes. The cinematography was pretty crappy. It seemed to "trend-following" and not avant-garde enough for my tastes.

I did see it and I have to side with the haters. Boy am I glad that I didn't spend money on this piece of crap.

Two hours of Tom Hanks looking constipated, a plot that could have come from a Tomb Raider game, and no hot nun on nun action, which IMHO is the only thing that could have saved this film.

If anyone wants to read some decent fiction on these matters, go read Foulcault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco.

Just about, I'm not saying Da Vinci Code was great, but a lot of movies that people talk about and I thought were really good get bad reviews. I'm sorry but I cant think of any off the top of my head, but my friends and I talk about movie critics and how we give up on them.

Yes, the critics sometimes get it wrong. That's pretty far from saying that they think every great movie sucks. If they really had that bad a track record, they wouldn't last very long as critics.

The Shining, 2001: A Space Odyssey and other Kubrick movies were originally bad-mouthed.

Here's the best review of the book -- not the movie -- I have come across. I read the book and I agree with everything this guy says:

A lengthy review, but bang-on and funny as hell in some places.

I dunno.  I started reading the book and I got hooked right away. About 1/4 thru the book me and the gf went to see it, and i thought it was great.
Even now that the mystery is 'ruined', I'm continuing to read the book.

I guess i just have different tastes.

It wasnt bad, it was just overrated and had a bit of a shallow appeal. Some interesting ideas and it had a good pace to it

I saw it tonight.

It wasn't bad, it was pretty confusing to me since I haven't read the book. It was also too long for my attention span.

Oh well, i didn't pay for it. :grin:
