Di Vinci Code movie...
 
Did anyone see this movie today? I am thinking about seeing it tonight. Just wondering what everyones thoughts were on this movie.
I heard that it wasnt as good as the book, but i didnt read the book so im not going to it to compare it to the book.

I haven't seen yet, but I plan on going Monday or Tuesday as long as I don't work. As for it not being as good as the book, I have never seen a movie as good as the book.

Critics say it's the exact same as the book. Almost as if they pulled line after line directly from the book. So anyone that has read the book will simply be going to fill the in visual gaps. The story / actions are supposed to fall exactly as they did in the book. Some people consider this good and some consider it bad. I'm going tonight probably.

From what I hear, if you really liked the book you wont think much of the movie. I also havent read the book so I will probably see the movie.

How good would you say it was using this scale.
Is it worth: Full price? Matinee? Or wait for video?

8 bucks for 2-3 hours of entertainment is not too much. I really liked this movie. However, reading it would be very difficult to fully grasp I think. If you like consipiracy related shit, you definitly should check this out.

i liked it, but i read the book so i knew what was going to happen. if you like to ponder things i'd say this is a good movie for you.

Definitly worth the money, great film!

Ill probably go see it too, the funny thing is that all the critics hated the movie. Im usually the opposite of the critics anyways.

Re: Di Vinci Code movie...
 
I can't wait to see. I don't ever go by the reviews/critics. I've never really found their opinion matches mine, and don't really care.

The book was great, and as long as they don't change much, I'm sure the movie will be too.

I saw it yesterday, I thought it was great.

But it was definetly exactly like the book.

Just got home I had seen the 10:45pm at EP. It was so worth the $ I was very surprised it was not that full so I had good seats. I may see it again full price, and I will buy it when it goes to DVD.

I'm gonna have to go see this movie for myself soon. I heard it was stupid and too long and then I hear its great.

Very good movie.

I saw it with some friends on Friday night after I met up with Mr.98gsx to buy his filter. I think the movie was pretty cool. I think it was pretty powerful. Now I can see why someone on the forums said that the churches were in an uproar when they heard about this movie. I would have to see it many more times to fully understand it though.

Mr.98gsx, you and your 3s buddy shoulda came with us!

Re: Di Vinci Code movie...
 
The churches are in an uproar because this guy is just making shit up with barely the tiniest shreds of evidence to back it up. Thats why its fiction.

Talian 05-22-2006 03:30 PM

Re: Di Vinci Code movie...
 
The book and this movie just plays on the possibilities making it a good fictional mystery.
The church should only be protesting if they have something to hide, so do they?

This movie was pretty cool.
The only thing i don't get, was why would the grandmaster and a bunch of the other old farts wearing masks, watching Two People having sex.

Never read the book. Thread is titled, Di Vinci Code Movie.
.....So much for your reading skills =)

Re: Di Vinci Code movie...
 
you stated you did not understand part of it, and i'm telling you how to clarify your muddled little mind.

the movie does not explain what you saw, but the book does. so get off your lazy ass and turn some pages!

This is the first fictional book I've read in twenty years. It was so good that I've read all Dan's other books as well. I thought Angels and Demons was better, the movie is probably being made as we type.:D

I wouldn't say the "church" is in an uproar, in fact, both my home church and the one I played at in Brainerd this weekend both had sermons on the DaVinci Code and neither spoke of it in a negative light, just pointed out the mistruths the movie communicates. I'll admit I was a bit swayed by the book because it weaves a lot of supposed history into a nice story. Truth is that almost everything in the book is a take on actual history or a blatant misdirection. After reading some other books which quote actual history with plenty of historical references from other published works, the Da Vinci Code suddenly seems way more fictional that I first believed. It is very well written though. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it, Tom Hanks and Opie are a great team. ;)

I thought they were going to have a midnight showing of it. I don't know why they didn't. I am glad people are saying here it was a good movie. Lately HollyWood seems like they haven't producing anything good but hopefully this summer should have some good movies.

It deffinately NOT as good as the book. Some of the characters didn't have the right people playing them, and all in all, the movie just didn't give me the same feeling the book did. I did like it, and will say it was worth my $5 but I would rather read the book.

The film company didn't allow for a midnight showing. I don't know their reasoning for it, but I talked to the manager ( my old boss 3 years ago) and that's what he told me. Due to that, there was like NO ONE at the midnight movie at lakeville this past Thursday. Sucks for them. BTW - That stupid over the hedge movie sucked! That's what I got stuck seeing since davinci code wasn't allowed to show.

I missed church this last week but I read the bulletin and it was all about mangdelin or however you spell it and how jesus never married etc. Basically it was all about their view against the davinci code. It's a simple concept. Where is your faith? If you believe Jesus never married and that he was God himself... then that's what you believe no matter what happens or is "proven." If you don't believe this, then you likely never will! So I don't see why people make a big deal over it :P

I agree with Steve. Angels & Demons was the best one. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it (and his other two). I'm looking forward to his next book, which is supposdly going to be released in 2007.

I'm probably going to try and get to the movie either this weekend or next week. I wish they would have someone other than Tom Hanks play the main role. I don't think it's suits him, but I guess I'll see how he performs.

Just saw the movie earlier today and I think it was a great movie. I dont know why most of my friends were telling me it's a waste of time, it was too long and blah blah blah. I didnt read the book either, so it got a little confusing at times but I still liked it :D.
