O.P. The Da Vinci Code - No Spoilers
Hey did anybody watch this, It was released in cinema's on the 19th (yesterday)

I havn't watched it yet, but I surely will. Also I havn't read the book yet, I'm watching the movie first, since most movie that are derived from books usually mess it up.

Don't tell me what happens if you did watch it or read it, I just wanna know if it was actually any good, and did it keep to the book very well.

I read the book, I love the book. I've heard some bad things about the movie, But I still recomend the book.

As opposed to how most movies based on books are: those who read the book first useually love/like the movie. Those who didn't read the book first, don't find the movie that great or even finding it awful.

The movie isn't that spectacular and you need to have read the book to follow and understand everything in the movie. The movie isn't a big action movie but rather a moralising thing (even more than the book).

RE: The Da Vinci Code - No Spoilers
to be honest, i usually find the movie tobe pretty bad if i read the book first, because the movies just don't give the amount of depth that a book does (mainly because of the length the movie would be if it did).

I'm in a bit of mixed feeling about the Da Vinci code movie, but I'll hafta see it before I pass judgement. I just don't think it can be as good as the book

I've heard people who havent read the book liked it more then those who did.

Downside of writing a great book I guess.

Edit:

Just got back from the movie, I liked it, but I still liked the book better.

have not read the book, but the movie, was awesome! I loved it and thought the story was really well put together. I do not think that the movie should have the church in an uproar and against it because it is a "fictional" story. Them saying it's a bad movie and that it should not be viewed gives the people who believ this is how history happened more reason to believe.

All in all go see it, very good movie and will be talked about for a while to come.

I'll probably end up going to see that and Silent Hill during the half-term holidays. I know what happens so I'm not really looking forward to it, some newspapers gave it really bad reviews.
