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.

it was a little disappointing that some parts of the book were omitted in the movie. truth is if you didn't read the book or know nothing about christian history, then watching the movie would be either too confusing or boring.\n\nthe only consolation was seeing the fab performances of tom hanks and ian mckellen.

I really want to see the movie but with caution, the movie is never as good as the book, this has been proven over and over and over.\nDid you know that The Da Vinci Code is part of a trilogy, \nAngels and Demons and yet to be released third part?\n\nI saw the movie last night and I feel that they simplified the movie at little too much to fit the running time, they left out many interesting parts and ignored key parts of the book, but then again the movie is never as good as the book.

The movie is nothing more than religious propaganda, and not as ineteresting as propaganda like "Passion of the Christ".  \n\nThe movie was pseudoscientific crap, full of deliberate lies and urban myths.\n\nThe scientists who appearded were all outraged at the way they were presented in that movie.\n\nBy all means watch it, but be aware that it is just a work of fiction intended to gain converts to a religion. Almost nothing they say is true or accurate.

Sure I will. Tom Hanks is a great actor.  The story line is fiction.  Sure in the preface Dan Brown makes a fool of himself by making false claims, but he states the story line is fiction.  If as a Christian I'd go and see Mission Impossible Three, surely i'd view the Davinci Code.  In fact, I look forward to seeing it.\n\nAnd further more, even if the book is "hersey", you can't argue with the results.  Whether or not Dan Brown intended it, more people are seeking out the truth behind the book and finding Constantine and the real Gospel.  I think God works in some powerful ways...\n\nPlus, the movie itself opens up a whole new area of witness that can be used for ministry.  We are called to be able to provide an answer for our faith.  If a non-believer's question comes from something within the film, i'd like to be able to give him a clear answer.

I am amazed that this question was asked. I thought the book too obscure to be noticed in this day and age. \n\nI loved it. A bit convoluted but brilliant. It has the potential to be a fantastic movie but it has to be done to match its brothers. Peter Jackson is a must here.

Yeah, I saw it yesterday. Harrison Ford is very very smart and clever in the movie. Go see it!!!!!!!\n\nHe totally turns the tables on the villians.

Absolutely loved the film.  Only Munich BARELY edged it out for bets film of last year (but only barely).  It's one of the few open and honest films about the subject of oil and the Middle East.  I was also stunned at the storyline involving the recruitment of the young terrorist.\n\nAmazing stuff.

This book is Harper Lee's masterpiece. I like the symbolism it inculdes very much. Are you a good reader? Did you read the Da Vinci Code? Tell me what you think about it.

I enjoyed it far more than I was expecting to. Don't listen to anyone who tells you that a blond northern bloke can't play Bond. He does a fantastic job \n\nGo and see it, you won't regret it !

I enjoyed it. Anything that takes itself too seriously deserves to be put up to ridicule, and that includes the Church.\n\nBesides that, the jokes were funny and well-timed, the plot was coherent within its own setting, the casting was perfect enough that I couldn't see anyone else playing the parts (especially Linda Fiorentino and Alan Rickman), and the cynicism toed the line between mockery and adoration.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but the book is good enough. Not outstanding, just slightly above average. I love mystery books, and I usually read book this size in one day. The Da Vinci code took me a week. I admit that at some points I wanted to know what will happen next, but at others it was just boring. Boring in my opinion because for me the book was too predictable. I like thrillers with more suspense than that. I don't really like Dan Brown's writing style. He uses too many words to say a few things; he builds up suspense that will lead to nothing. \nAnyway I enjoyed it, it was a great read, although not as great as a James Patterson novel. I am a christian, and I didn't feel threaten by the book, instead I liked it. And even though it is a work of fiction it does make some sense if you think about it. \nGreat plot.

I just saw the film.\n\nThe part about how Christianity took pagan beliefs and mixed them in is correct. The fact that Constantine changed the religion (at least to a degree) is correct.  In fact when he ruled that in order to hold government office you had to be a Christian he managed to turn a bunch of pagans into Christians (in name only) over night.  Their underlying pagan beliefs remained the same, they just changed their title.\n\nThe part about the museum having bathroom windows that can be opened is absolutely false. Nor does the museum have bar soap that you can stick a GPS tracer into, they have liquid soap in the bathrooms.\n\nThe Priory has been pretty much determined to be a fraud. (Discovery Channel ran a series of shows which demonstrated this.) Of course, the paranoid will say that the "fraud" is just a cover story and it is exactly what the Priory wants you to think so that they stay secret.  \n\nThe idea that the "royal bloodline" filters down to one and only one woman in Europe seems pretty unbelievable. The Merovingians had many kids, there would have to be several thousand Merovingians by this point in history.\n\nThe idea that Jesus and Magdelene were married, well, not much proof one way or the other. Even if they were, it is that thing about rising from the dead that still sets things apart.\n\nOne idea that I don't think most people have considered is the possibility that the entire DaVinci Code movie and book might just be designed as a meme (brain virus as it were). Designed to "inject" the concept of this bloodline into the populace. Then, when the time is ripe, "they" will unveil a person who is supposedly the descendant in question whom "they" want to setup as a One World Leader.\n\nFrankly I think there is more "fact" in "The Norman Rockwell Code".

I thought it was pretty good.  Yeah, the beginning was a bit off, but for people who have no idea of the situation in the UK at the time, it was a great way to explain the fear.  I still like the books better, fevered imaginings are usually a bit more detailed than any movie.\nIt will be interesting to see how the next movies go -- especially since there are Chronicles that are not in the same timeline.

Haven't seen the movie, yet. I liked the book as a work of fiction though. It really kept me entertained. I don't see why so many people are believeing it as fact, though. Its not like Dan Brown is a theologian. He's a novelist. People should read his other stuff, though... it gives a clearer idea of what kind of stuff the guy writes.
