Am I the only one who liked Da Vinci? I don't get all the hate...also, this should've been made first.

[Trainsaw]

i def liked the movie

I didn't hate the movie at all.

Seeing it twice in the same weekend (once with friends, once with family) made me bored though. I'd give it probably a B or something in that range becasue it isn't as horrible as people are making it seem or picture of the year.

This movie should be great though.

[FreshyFresh23]

Wasnt BAD but was nothing like it should have been. Way too long and dragging, took the thrill out of it

[SkaBum14]

I heard Pauly Shore will play Robert Langdon in this movie.

[xbrokendownx]

im reading the da vinci code right now, i wanna read it before i see the movie.

You will enjoy it more, but also understand/enjoy the movie more as a result

[A picasso blue]

a remake already?



^^ i had to say it

[A picasso blue]

im sorry but i tried to read this book and could not.

Angels & Demons? If so, the first 100 pages I remember being slow.

After that it goes incredibly fast.

i tried DaVinci first. then angels and demons. get through much of either

[sweetforever]

I'm reading Da Vinci Code right now. I've wanted to read for a while and I finally got around to reading it. I wanna finish it before seeing the movie

[Adeniz19]

this will make a sweet movie. just think what the can do with the priest hanging in the middle of the church burning to death. haha that scene has the potential to be awesome

The brandings are going to be intense.

[Chemical Love]

I'm looking forward to seeing the Da Vinci code. And from what I've heard about Angels & Demons I think it will be good.

[A picasso blue]

theres just no reason that it should be on the bestseller's list for years in a row. its not well-written at all

[Emopunkthrice]

haha the Vatican isn't going to let the Camera crew within range of St. Peters square at all. They are going to need to make a damn good fake set.

Controversy sells.

[slickwataris]

I'm reading it right now actually. Da Vinci is just a tad bit more convincing.

[gilatron5000]

Cool. That book is so much better than DVC. And VIOLENT.

This better be good. I hated The Da Vinci Code, and I prefer this book over the other. I like the casting of Ewan McGregor. Good call.

[forget_december]

ahh, the trailer in the post above got deleted, so here it is again:

_zvGvKYwv_Q

i'm so excited for this! i definitely liked this book more than the da vinci code. i also hope they make a movie for digital fortress.

[zubinmoosa]

So excited for this. My favorite Dan Brown book.

[forget_december]

MSN just posted a few pictures from the movie:

i'm so glad they casted ewan mcgregor, he's so perfect for the role.

[Adeniz19]

yikes, had to spoiler tag an old post haha. looking forward to this. wish it would have a R rating, but doubt it will happen

[Ailite]

Trailer looks pretty good

[bard]

saw this last night.

really disappointed about it. they changed quite a bit from the book. i knew they would change some stuff like they did with the da vinci code, but the changes they made were pretty huge and wasn't nearly as interesting as the book was.

5/10

[TBSowns524]

i enjoyed the book quite a bit but unfortunately i have low expectations for the film

[yves.]

i loooooved the book (a lot more than i liked the davinci code). going to see the movie tonight.

[bard]

also, i liked angels and demons the book way better than da vinci code

[zubinmoosa]

I'm really excited to see this movie. Loved the book.

[googirl8907]

The movie looks pretty good. I need to make sure to read the book before I see it.

[Chris Fallon]

I liked The Da Vinci Code for the most part, but I'm in no rush to see this. Maybe if I'm bored I will.

[Ailite]

Not very good. Not horrible, not at all, but certainly not good. They changed quite a bit from the book

[stayillogical]

I enjoyed it. :shrug:

I think it helps that my memory of the book details is a bit fuzzy.

[fiercetown]

Love the book. Still need to see the movie. Hopefully it doesn't suck.

[irthesteve]

The movie was incredibly well done, they changed some things and that kinda made me a little sad, but the movie was still great. I'm not gonna let changes from the book affect how I enjoy the movie

[livethesounds]

i thought the movie was pretty decent. better than the davinci code movie. i read the book like 2 years ago so i don't remember all the details of what was left out, i could only a couple things, mostly at the start of the movie, that in the end (and in a movie like this) didn't seem that big of a deal when all is said and done.

[Chemical Love]

I'm very excited to see this. I havnt read the book, but I'll get to that after the movie.

[ThisIsNotDan]

I have been eagerly anticipating this for a few years and it didn't disappoint, but a few things:

1. I thought Langdon jumped on the helicopter with the Camerlango as well, and landed in a river after he jumped out?
2. uh, no Kohler mention?

[MyWorldEntire]

Some of the changes really really pissed me off, but overall it was a decent movie.

[starseed]

What changes were made between the book and film?

[Ailite]

I missed Kohler

[starseed]

Never mind, just looked them up, wow, that actually pisses me off a bit that they did that. They cut out a lot and completely changed a lot of stuff.

[zubinmoosa]

I missed Kohler
Agreed. I wanted to see him puttering around in his little wheelchair

[Ailite]

Agreed. I wanted to see him puttering around in his little wheelchair
they gave his role to the head of the swiss guard

[Protested Hero]

Not having read the book and not caring to make comparisons between the two because of this, I enjoyed the movie a lot.

[guiguedz]

I didn't read the book, so maybe my opinion shouldn't be taken much serious... But I didn't like the movie. At all. I'm a pretty big fan of everything conspiracy related, I love to read and discuss religious stuff, I was always fascinated by ambigrams, and I liked Da Vinci Code and Deception Point - the only books by Dan Brown that I've read so far. I was pretty sure I was gonna at least enjoy it, but no. Terrible, imo.

[irthesteve]

I for one am fucking glad they cut out the Langdon jumping into the fountain / pool bullshit, that was the most ridiculous thing in the whole book and would have looked like the biggest joke ever on screen.

On the flipside, getting rid of the Illuminati Diamond made me quite sad, I was stoked to see it the whole movie. Oh well

[saysmydoctor]

That's bullshit, those changes. Kohler was vital to the whole fucking plot of the book. This is one of those books that has a very certain plot and it's perfect for on-screen adaptation. I can't believe they removed Kohler. I can understand minor tweaks to keep the flow of the movie, but removing Kohler is fucking dumb.

This too? Yeah, pass on this movie. These changes are pretty ridiculous and make no sense.

[irthesteve]

Blah blah blah complain complain complain. the movie was good. They changed shit like every movie adaptation ever, big whoop. The movie still made total sense, was still thrilling, still discussed all the historical and conspiracy shit, and got the message of the book/story across.

[saysmydoctor]

And I settled with that in the Da Vinci Code. The changes made in the movie made sense and helped the plot move forward on screen.

The fountain scene, I can understand adjusting...him jumping from the copter, etc, understandable. But removing characters like Kohler, that's huge, honestly. The Illuminati Diamond was the major theme and mechanic of the book---all the elements combined--I don't understand that removal.

Granted, I haven't even seen the movie, so maybe I'm jumping the gun. But those are huge turnoffs to me.

I've never read the book and the movie flowed perfectly from what I could tell. Every bad review I see of this movie is because "it didn't copy and paste lines from the book to the screen".

[IcedOpethBlind]

8.2/10

[reckoner]

this movie went on and on... one of the worst i've seen in a while.

[Until The Bombs]

Not nearly as bad as I was expecting. 6/10. Fortunately I can't remember much of the details of the book anymore. Point remains though that despite being a great actor, Hanks is not right for this role and Ron Howard can't direct this type of film nearly as well as others.

[Why Bother?]

Surprisingly, I wasn't bored during one minute of this movie. Really well done and miles better than The Da Vinci Code.

[saysmydoctor]

5/10, I ended up seeing it.

I don't understand why they made up a bishop when they could have stuck with the original Kohler/Richter thing.

[samsara]

I actually liked it. The changes werent subtle by any means but the changes that were made werent that bad.

[xEnderx]

I loved the book, so is the movie worth seeing?

[Chemical Love]

One of the dumbest movies I've ever seen. And thats coming from some one who really liked The Da Vinci Code.
