The DaVinci Choad

[Nate]

The question is: does anyone care about the DaVinci Code any more?

I'm sure the movie will do well but not near as well as if it had come out a year ago. Everyone I've talked to lately is totally over it.

So, share your thoughts...

[Alcar]

I just saw it. Literally half an hour ago

I must say I prefer the book. So much was cut, and not only that, but CHANGED. It was a good movie, but I was disapointed it didn't follow the book more religiously

Alcar...

[Abecrazy]

Uh yeah...whenever a best selling novel is going to be made into a movie alot of cuts will be made and alot will be changed. If they didn't we'd be sitting in movies that are like 12 hours long.

I saw it and i liked it but I didnt read the book...so there ya go.

[Abe 01]

It hasnt got any jokes or romance so gets pretty boring

[SeaRex]

I've seen enough History Channel documentaries on the novel and pretty much all subjects related to the novel for one lifetime.

Still curious, though. Might see it. However, I heard it was pretty mediocre.

[Abecrazy]

Yep I heard it was drawn out and boring but I never rely on what others tell me. I go and see it then judge for myself.

Too often there are movies that are slagged but once i saw them i actually liked them.

[Fez]

I've heard nothing really good about it, and I must say the trailers have done feck all to impress me.

I'll sit this film out.

This stupid, trite, centuries old crap has ruined television for the last week.
ARRRRGH!
I have all my professors whining about it being heresy and saying it isn't true because it was written a hundred years after the fact by non eyewitnesses. Hello, half the friggin' NT anyone?
Mary Magdelene is mentioned 6 times in the cannon, 6! You could exise her and not miss a thing!

Second. Who could change a semi-exciting book into that? I know of several people who wanted to commit mass suicide after watching it.

[Facsimile]

I'm not 'over' the book, as I've never read it. I may see the movie, depends if my friends go.

I have to laugh at the people on TV who are upset about it though. People get upset over everything these days.

[Marco the Glukkon]

I absolutley despise the DaVinci Code. It is nothing more than a stupid, non-existent theory about some guy's retarted ideas that absolutely make no sense. He knew it was going to rock the Chrisitan world, so why was he was evil enough to print that book about lies? All that author cared about was money, and what better way to make money than to make controvery? I hope he's happy, he killed many beliefs, not mine. Never gonna watch it, never gonna see it, never had any interest in that kind of fiction.

I will pray for those that listen to that crap and for the author, but I think the DaVinci Code was just a waste of film and paper.

[skillya_glowi]

I haven't read the book or seen the movie, but those friends of mine that did said it was horrible. I believed them.

[Salamander]

i couldn't care less about the film, im not going to go watch a film with 20 hours of two people trying to crack codes.

[Leto]

To the previous three posters before me, read a book before you mock it. This also applies to the bible in all it's carnations.

It was never intended to be real. It's people like you that make this book you dislike even more popular.

[Nate]

Oh yes it was. Dan Brown did tonnes of interviews where he said that all the facts, codes and rituals are based on fact and are completely true*. Which begs the question of how he knows so much about the Priory of Sion if they are, as he claims, wonderfully successful at keeping themselves secret.

*I think it's safe to say that he was lieing there. But he claimed it, which is enough to say he intended people to believe the book as truth.

[SeaRex]

No no no... it was a simple work of fiction mixed with preexisting theories and places dealing with Mary and the Holy Grail. There is no way that Brown did that much research only to end up grossly exaggerating and/or simply fabricating so many things.

If he thinks his story is true, he's really full of himself.

[Ninjaxe]

I read the book havent seen the film. But do I believe it? Not sure. Because we do not know for definate that the holy grail is the to be daughter of jesus christ.

I also heard from little bird that the man who protect certain information on jesus. He can't read or write. Also the people cut off his tongue to keep him from talking.

[Bullet Magnet]

It's just a story. A good conspiracy tale sells well. It was well researched- stuff about real places, items, and popular theories also make it more believable and popular. But it would be a mistake to claim it to be the truth. The story itself is fiction (Robert Langdon is not real, wake up, people). Perhaps the conspiracy is true, but you can't base that assumption just on a book.

[Nate]

It's been proven to be false. It's just not widely promoted because conspiracy theories sell better than the truth.

[used:)]

It's all just a fad at this point.

[Bullet Magnet]

But think of all the work he created. So many books about his books. He's probably gotten alot of people out of debt.

Still, have you heard of his other books? I haven't read any of them, but the prequel Angels and Demons sets Langdon trying to stop an assassination of the Pope, and a plot involving an antimatter bomb. Now that is scientifically impossible. The amount of antimatter in the story was more than has ever been created, and would take millions of years at our currrent rate. Then, because it annihilates any matter it touches, there is no way to transport it. However, it did increase interest in CERN, the real life physics laboratory that creates the stuff for research.

[Nate]

Angels and Demons was a far superior book to DVC. The plot was more plausible (which is not to say that it was plausible, just moreso) and the twist at the end was less predictable.

[Havoc]

I'm going to see The Davinci Code in about an hour. I'l let you know what I thought about it when I get back :P.

[ANN NEELY]

I can't sit through long movies, I get WAY too figety.
I couldn't keep interest in the book, so I'll probably skip the movie.

[Statikk HDM]

You can't sit through a 2 hour movie but you can spend 4 or 5 hours reading a book?

[ANN NEELY]

I read the book for half an hour and lost interest. If the movie is 2+ hours, I get restless. It took me forever to watch Schindler's List, for this reason.

[Ninjaxe]

I watch the film yesterday. Thought it would be really bad. Actually it was rather good. Few moments missing but you expect that from reading the book first.

I want ask something I didnt ask earliar. Did anyone went (or plan to visit) these places to see if these events exists?

[Patrick Vykkers]

Haven't seen it. Sounds interesting, albeit historically inaccurate (I'm a Catholic, you see...)

[Lord Vulcher]

People only said bad things about the movie because it attacked Christianity (or so they say).
