It really annoys me when people try and make the Da Vinci Code such a huge issue. Its a murder mystery which happens to include some religious components. It's not a "fictional religious books" and certainly not meant to "enlighten" anyone.

Some people I swear! Its a friggin book/movie! Get a life!

i saw it and liked it. but i really liked the book too.

i agree with whomever said, ignore the reviews and make your own decission.

and HBADPi-- totally agree. it's a freaking movie...

I honestly thought this was the worst movie I've ever seen.

I saw it last night.

I hadn't read the book, though I own it.

I liked it.

Was it my favorite movie in the world? No.

Do I think Tom Hanks was wrong for the role? Yes, though he did better than I expected.

I looked at my friend during the movie and said "He just can't help it...he's 'Tom Hanks' in every movie."

Although stuff happens in it....there's not a whole lot of "action" which I guess I expected.

Also, too much of the movie is too "perfect"....I groaned a few times because things happened too neatly.

I've loved the book and I thought the movie was okay. My friend who hasn't read the book loved the movie.

They did leave a lot out in my opinion - especially more info about the Last Supper (Peter, the disembodied hand with a knife, etc), no mention of the Madonna on the Rocks and the other painting. I really think with all the stuff they left out that the Christian churches don't have as much to worry about as they thought that people would be convinced this conspiracy could be true.

Plus, although it did follow the book the ending was changed ever so slightly. I don't want to say more so I don't spoil it for anyone.

Tom Hanks didn't do a bad job as Robert Langdon. Still wish it had been a different actor but he was a believable in the role. I recommend seeing the movie.

I just saw it last night and...no. I'm with the critics who said that the audience was spoonfed the entire time. You have to shut your brain off in order to enjoy it.

Based on how well it's doing at the box office, I believe it's safe to say that fans don't give a shit what critics think.
I enjoyed the movie. The ending was different than the book but overall, I liked it.

I really liked the movie.

So I finally saw this Sunday night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it carried the same intensity as the book and if they had made it shorter, they would have had to skip even more detail. I prefer the book ending, but that's ok too.
