Okay so you all read the book! damn awesome book, hows the movie going to be ? With Tom Hanks, Ian Mckellen Jean Reno and Alfred Molina .. couldit really be a bad movie .. Over view of the plot, A murder in the Louvre and clues in Da Vinci paintings lead to the discovery of a religious mystery protected by a secret society for two thousand years -- which could shake the foundations of Christianity. You dont have to believe in Christianity to read the book and enjoy it. Im hoping the movie is as good as the book but i very much doubt it. If u dont wanna read the book and want an idea of how the movie will be. think of Broken Sword the Movie.. Anyway What do you all think ? DISCUSS  Lets keep it on track aswell dont start throwing religion facts here and there too much _______________ If you add me to MSN, tell me who you are

I expect the worse in all honesty, however the book felt a bit cinematic so maybe it will translate well to the screen.

don't get me started on the book, anyone who knows me knows I can't stand it. But I will give the movie a chance, perhaps view it as a seperate entity, so I'm not biased against it simply because I don't like the book. I do also think they couyld have gotten somebody better that Tom Hanks for the main role. Well, not so much better but somebody more suitable. _______________ Girlfriend of Mic!! I love you baby!

The thing is though, the author has talked about "the factual nature of the book." Basically he's said that the book is fiction but the story he's basing it on is the historical fact of how things actually were. That is where complaints would be coming from I think.

Quote: I personally think that the ideas of Jesus in the movie Dogma are more plausible than what the Da Vinci Code claims. lol, loved that film. Hmm not really got any expectations of this film, the book was okay, from what i've heard the author tried to point out it was a work of fiction, and not trying to be fact, but i have never looked into this in much detail. I agree with Ed, Angels & Demons was a superior book, for Mindrith, the plot of A&D is the same character goes to Rome and gets involved with a war between the Iluminati and the Vatican.

Quote: My church had a petition to have the movie not be shown in our local theater. Personally, I don't care if you see the movie or read the book, but when you start making fun of religions using a fiction book (as in it is in the fiction section at the book store/library, not just my opinion) as a source of evidence, you must stop. P.S. I don't intend to offend anyone with this post, so if I did, I am sorry. I don't wanna offend anybody with this, but I really do think that's stupid. You signed a petition to stop it being shown at one cinema/theatre? Why? It's a book/film, get over it. I'm sorry I said that, and I don't intend to offend anybody and I DO respect people's beliefs in religious matters but I think stopping a film because of content such as that, is just plain rediculous. But anyway, back to the TOPIC OF THE THREAD, this film looks pretty cool. I never read the book so I don't have a clue what it's about, but the trailers look sweet _______________ - Even if Carlsberg made "w*nkers", Christiano Ronaldo would still be the biggest "w*nker" in the world |

Aye the Da Vinci codes whole conspiracy theory is pretty much a load of rubbish according to most of the stuff I have read since, but I enjoyed it, it had an entertaining plot, even if not brilliantly written. And anything which encourages people to question and analyse their own and others beliefs (in particular the validity of the bible as a historical document) is a good thing imo. I expect the film to be entertaining but not a masterpiece, i.e. worth paying to see at the movies but not one for my DVD collection. _______________ |JAA| since 02/05/06 Green for life |

Gotta read the book before u can make posts like that at least, reading a over view or listening to someone talk about it isnt enough to base an opinion, the book is very clever in its way's to question christianity. Heres the main part, IT DOESNT QUESTION WHETHER GOD EXSISTS. it firmly believes it does. that was the spoiler btw incase u havent read the book. As for Eica's post, the movie always plays for the plot first and rewrites the screenplay to suit the movie style, dan brown did a fantatic story and i found the character development in the book very good aswell as the conversations between the characters. No doubt you will spot some of dan brown in the script because its gonna happen to make a believable transition from the book to screen.. i just hope they show sophie's flash backs aswell! that was an important part of the book. _______________ If you add me to MSN, tell me who you are

I wouldn't say the Da Vinci Code makes fun of religion in the slightest. You say a church started a petition to stop the film being shown? Strange, the film actually got permission to be filmed in a church despite its religious messages. _______________ Former padawan of RoseRed |

I thought the book was very good, so I'm looking forward to the movie. The trailer that I've seen looks pretty cool, only thing I don't like is that Tom Hanks is playing Robert Langdon. He's a good actor, but he isn't a good Langdon...he's got a bit of a goofish look, which really doesn't fit the character. |
