I heard it's shit from a few friends. They said they went in expecting a good movie. I asked them if they realized no movies are ever as good as the books and they said they still thought it could have been better.

It wasn't bad, you do need to read the book first. Went with a friend who hadn't read the book and was totally lost. The details are in the book, not the movie.

While the book and movie does have some catholic bashing the main "controversy" has an impact on all of christianity. Christianity is based on the fact that jesus was the son of a god, a divine being, not just a prophet who had a family.
I had read the book a long time ago and then saw the movie last night. Personally I think seeing the movie first is a better idea than reading the book. If you read the book first you'll only be disappointed by the movie. Most people who don't like the movie had read the book first and realized how much was left out. I think people will like the book even more after seeing the movie because it will put things together a lot better.

LOL at all the zealots trying to bash and suppress this movie. Wouldn't want an alternative viewpoint out there would we? Even more ironic that they are advocating stifling something in this manner when that is exactly the type of behaviour they are always decrying in the Islamic world.
Pathetic.
Pathetic.

It is not that I want to stiffle it but there are so many errors and out and out lies in the da vinci code that it is just crap because they say "Fact" even in the begginning of the movie I heard. So it decieves people into thinking that it is factually based when it is not. So the whole point of the movie to use false propaganda to steer people away from the only thing that will save their souls which is Christ dying for their sins.

I personally thought it was a good movie, and I would certainly consider myself smarter and more well-rounded than 90% of the posters in this thread.
It's a long movie, but its almost all action packed so the viewer never gets bored. I have not read the book but I was able to piece everything together; perhaps this was due to my history channel endeavors.
Some of the events seem almost unbelievable. Tom Hanks and his photographic memory conveniently allow him to solve some of the more complex puzzles he's faced with - which is highly unlikely. Still a good movie none the less.

I'm a bit surprised to see Ron Howard and Tom Hanks making a movie that divides like this.
Persoanally, I think it is rediculous that people would let a book and a movie decide their faith. Sure it will have a short term impact...as do all well written ideas.

It's a bit different in the book, as far as the puzzles go, and there are a lot more of them. Seeing things the way he did in the movie was a much better choice for Hollywood then some dude just sitting there thinking. The latter doesn't really make for an entertaining scene.

i like ron howard's other tom hanks movie much better. Apollo 13.
I enjoyed the movie
People need to stop being so closed minded about possibilities of change and the deciet in man. There is no evidence denouncing what the movie says.
and besides? who really gives a flying fuck if Jesus WAS a FATHER and A HUSBAND??? how does this is ANY way shape or form change his messages or his status as an enlightened and loving being who had a dramatic effect upon the world?? He was a man of flesh and blood, he simply was @ a enlightened level of concioussness that allowed him to influence and change much of the world(on par with Krishna and Bhudda).
I just am so lost as to how people could think that having a body or some type of blood lineage somehow has anything to do with spiritual evolvement. I hope jesus was a father and a husband. I would respect him even more then.
