I'd rather read it than see it, and I'd rather read about 1200 other books first.

If I had a beach vacation coming up I'd consider reading it, but in the meantime there's a lot of other shit I have on my plate literature-wise, and I'm having enough trouble getting on top of that.

I should be reading now!

nope not yet, though I got the book a few months after it came out.


The book was ok, nothing special, but I like the thorn in the side of those who are weak minded.


I might go see it, but definitely when it come out on DVD

I saw it on Friday night, and i believe that this is a film that everyone should watch. It definately gives people something different to think about, I am going to purchase the novel here shortly and begin to read it.. I have always been an open minded person being an agnostic, and this film was right up my alley!.... I would like to hear what others have to say about it though.

Most people hear things sucked or were good simply by hearing the one-sentence summaries from reviews. 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.

Roger Ebert, despite being a fat annoying fuck, is actually a really intelligent cinephile. I read all his reviews, I also read most of the reviews in the Village Voice.

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 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.

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.

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.

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:

http://ace.mu.nu/archives/177911.php

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.

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:

I saw the movie last night, it was long and boring and cut out every possible exciting part that the book contained as well as any interesting point that the book brought forth. I fell asleep twice.

The book was way better then the movie and the book was even just "alright".

Read it and saw it on sunday.

Meh, it was alright, tom hanks though... :thumbdown::thumbdown:

I think my penis has more acting ability in this movie than tom hanks.  Acted like he had a pole shoved up his ass and no emotions whatsoever.

Sir Leigh Teabing was good as was Silas.  Not bad, left out a few good points.  Oh well, chalk another one up to bad translation from book (or video game) to movie.

I saw it yesterday, and the whole time I was waiting for some cool shit to happen, and they made it so it seems like its always building up to something, but nothing really ever happens. it was like getting continuous handjobs that stop right before you're about to nut each time, to quote a famous poet.
anyway, it was alright. Not worth the hype though.

i actually saw a kid that looked to be about 13 stand up a little more than halfway through the movie and declare for everyone to hear "This movie blows Balls!" It was immature but still funny consdering the fact that the movie was boring the shit out of me i think the only part that moved me was when the one guy made the cannabis joke when the cops were tryting to get him in the london airport. Tom hanks does better in roles were he doesnt need to speak.

hell yea that was a sick movie.

i saw the movie a couple nights ago... well my expectations were super-low, and the movie was pretty weak, so I wasnt pissed of or anything.

The boook had too much fascinating things that you cant fit into a movie when theres so much suspense involved in it aswell.

I think if they whooped out some crazy cinematography, and built up robert langdons character properly, then the movie would have been a bit better.

What was with that black shit on Sophies neck?
