    I can't stand to watch a movie while I am reading the book version of it. I always read the book first since the movie tells you everything that happened and makes the book less interesting.

    I will stay away from cinema just as I did when they played The Passion Of The Christ.
    But whatever I do they will still make tons of money.

    I did enjoy the book, but probably won't see the movie until it comes out on dvd.

    I've noticed that if you ask people if they liked the movie or not, they will either have really liked it or really have disliked it

    yes, The movie is exactly like the book, but missing some things like the little orrible love story on the end....
    i really like the book and movie too but i prefer the simple end of the movie.

    I read the book over a year ago and have been waiting that long to see the movie. When I knew it was about to come out I was so hyped but then when I heard the bad reviews it turned me off from seeing it. It's been in theatres for almost a month now and I still haven't gone. I will probabaly catch it when it comes on DVD.

    But for anyone who read the Da Vinci Code and loved it try Dan Brown's other books... they are just as good.

    I saw the movie mostly because it played in an impressive historical theater in my city. It was okay; not terrible and not great. But it left me thinking "what's the big deal?" None of the theories are provable, without boatloads of more evidence, and even if they were found true the church is so bound up in tradition that nothing would change. So the story presents a rather impotent controversy. The whole hubub reminds me of the fuss over "Amadeus" some years back. People began trying to prove that Saleri killed Mozart and new conspiracy theories rose up blah blah. But the difference: "Amadeus" was a great movie. DaVinci code contains no interesting characters, remains fairly predictable from beginning to end, and doesn't really end up going anywhere. And the main characters really contain no interesting traits whatsoever; they're mere props for the "controversy". Regardless, the movie is still okay, but I've found myself becoming more and more indifferent to it as time goes on.
