is better read the book before going to see it in cinema?

I feel its better to read the book first. Movies tend to leave a lot of the story line out for obvious reasons. Plus with a book, you can use your imagination and pick up the emotions of the characters better. Definitely read a book first.

Not sure if you can.\n\nREAD the book and WATCH the FILM. BOTH are outstanding and McMurtry is one of those amazing writers that can literally make you see and feel what he's writing. He's an absolute joy to read.\n\n(FWIW, they were EXTREMELY CLOSE in content!)

No, I listened to the autio commentary; the director mentioned him seeing the movie with a girl-friend. As for an interest in Anna,I doubt it. I have also read a behind-the-scenes book, the relationships are more brother-sister on and off the set.

Yes to both. The books are better.  The 2nd and 3rd movies were nothing like the books.

Well i havent read or seen them...but if u think they are alike, ur statement could read:  \nThough the movie sensationalizes the novel, the movie follows the text in a scholarly maner.\nor if they are different, u could say:\nThe movie does not follow the novel and devolves from the author's intent.\netc, etc

I just came back from the theater myself....I was kind of dissapointed, it lacks of the surprise factor of the book and the way the clues a presented in a way that the reader can become part of the solving of the riddle, on the contrary, on the film, the  \nriddles are solved in a very obvioud way it seems unreal..it is an average film but surely it will become a big blockbuster due alll the buzz it has generated.

I don't know about seeing it online - looking at a computer screen that long might not be a good thing.\n\nHopefully, your local library would have a copy of it and then you could check it out. Either way you get to read it, you'll enjoy it.  : )

DaVinci Code\nAnd actually, yes, it's from the book.  The book is excellent, by the way..curious to see how the film turns out...

You should start reading it from "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone". See, these books tend to have a continum. If you start with the second book, you will not understand anything. So, get hold of the first book and read it in sequence. Otherwise, you will not appreciate the beauty of the book.

Ok the most easy way to get around such a question would be :The book is better than the movie".It actually counts for 98% of the adaptations.But The DaVinci code fits in the 2% of the cases where the movie is actually better than the book.\n \n       First of all Ron Howard (a beautiful mind) is a great director.The book itself did not appear so great to me having a rather bad character development (leading to the dissapointing revelation of the finale) and having the scientist explain it everything so that anybody can grasp the action is too much artifialism for me.For example Langdon dont need to explain the history of Paris to a french woman who herself is an Academic.This appears to a point in the movie but since the action is preety more spectacular it covers it uo.\n\nAlso the book has no fluidity.The chaptres last 2 1&#92;2 half pages maximum and the action is cut much to often.This leads to a confusion because you get to a point where the change of background-people leaves you with a strange sence.The movie is far better.The director not willing to follow all the cuts and changes of the author produces a more solid scenaro leaving the audience understand the changes.For example Langdon and the girl in the book seem (not ARE )the same in the beginning and the end which does not happen to the movie.\n    The standard motto is "go with the book".But this time I will choose the film instead

The book is awesome, there's no doubt about that.  But then the film is probably the greatest cinematographic realisation of a classic book that I know of.  "So what's it going to be then, eh?" ...  Well, I gotta say the book wins at a pinch, just because the images are so evocative, the message so well realised and bleak and brutal, the prose so, well, prosaic - Nadsat withstanding.  The film shines, but it shines best in its correspondence to what the book has already evoked.  Stunning question though, dude.

if you haven't read the book you should do so first, it's an awesome book, speaking personally, to me it doesn't matter how controversial it is, it's great entertainment..very fast paced, also, it will make you think. i am definitely going to see the movie. if you believe in the sacred feminine...you'll love it

Read the book, then watch the movie. Repeat until you have 35 differences.\n\nHope this helps.
