The movie comes out firday. I just got done reading the book a few days ago and I have to say its one of the best books i've read. I am reading the book that came before the DaVinci Code called Angels and Demons right now. Anyone else read it or is going to see the movie?

the da vinci code book is wonderful.

movie will be good.


as far as angels and demons goes, it follows the same path as code. langdon is the main character again and their has been a murder. there is also a conspiacy and a hot chick.

brown wrties these kind of in james bond style except the hero is a smart guy. they are just made up storeis and everyone wants to beleive them and now the whole world is crying.


very very very crreative writer.

while I think you would have to be dumb to believe what he is writing as it is written as a novel, he is convincing in his writing. He makes it seem so credible that it can make some people believe it. He is a great writer who made the main character a genius which is cool. I am 1/4 of the way through Angels and Demons and i'm really enjoying it.

If you liked the davinci code then read "The Rule of Four". Can't remember the authors, but its similar, and imo more believable. Looking foward to the movie though.

My friends and I are graduating Friday morning and then we're all going to go see it that afternoon before we head over to Project Graduation.

I've read the book, thought it was great, and now I'm ready to see the movie.

yep...book is great...read it and listened to the audio book as well....can't wait to see the movie...

i did read Angels and Demons, and imo, it was even better than Code...they both get in to the imagery of the surroundings they are in, but A & D has some pretty rude stuff going on it...i'd like to see that made in to a movie as well...

I havn't read it. My wife and daughter have both read it and loved it. I'm for sure going to see the movie, although I don't know if I'll go to the theater or wait till it comes to On Demand.

Is there any media outlet in the country that hasn't raced to the nearest Catholic church to let them tell the world how this work of fiction is all just fiction?

Talk about overkill!!!

Every review I've heard says that the book just doesn't translate well and the movie is just plain boring.

Sounds like propaganda to me.

i have seen where the reviews are bad for this and i gotta say that that is probably because the writers dont want the catholics and christians on their backs for saying this movie is good.


i dont see how it cant be good. first of all ron howard is a good director. tom hanks is one of the all time best and how can u go wrong when u got gandalf in a movie.


THIS BOOK/MOVIE ABOVE ALL IS JUST FICTION. ALL U UPPITY TYPES WHO JUST LOVE TO WHINE ABOUT ANYTHING THAT IS GOING ON THAT U DONT LIKE. SHUT UP.

the book was magnificently written and the movie will be good. quit taking everything personnally, loosen up and enjoy life instead of fearing it and ruining others people's.

THANK YOU

Just got back from the movie.

They left out a lot. But overall, it was pretty good.

The movie's ending was much better, I thought.

Quote from 700 club this morning..

"We have a special 800 number set up to counsel people on how to respond to this movie..."

Translation---"We'll be happy to once again tell you what to think..."

This just in...
Da Vinci Code had the second best worldwide premiere weekend in history.

Guess folks do like the movie.

I think it's comical that all people who are speaking out against the movie don't realize that they're giving out TONS of free advertising for the movie.

Somewhere in the world, Opie is smiling.

You should read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. It's much better than his Da Vinci Code.

As for the movie...it could have been better, yes. But, I think to have been better, the movie would have had to exceed 3 hours. I think they did a good job with the time allotted.

You're right, though. They did leave out more than a few things.

I thought that the movie was decent - not great but not bad either - I also read the book.

however, my wife - who didn't read the book - thouroughly (sp?) enjoyed the movie

I read The Da Vinci Code yesterday. I wish my Arts in Western Civilization professor had been that interesting. I might have made a better grade. :(

Yep. For some reason, they never learn do they? They did the same thing about 15 years ago with a movie called The Last Temptation Of Christ. I went to see that movie just to see what all the fuss was about. I left mad at the protestors for making me waste my money :lol:

its good that the 700 club is helping people with what to think about the movie people have to know that it is a bunch of crap before they go see it or it can really hurt them

it might have had the second best premiere in history but it still has no credability next to the #1 sellin book of all time the BIBLE
