The Da Vinci Code

This is to Christianity as National Treasure is to America. And I love it. Super silly, super fun.

I thought this film was fantastic, it had a great structure and plot that kept you gripped from start to finish.

I would recommend this film to anyone, it is a must see! Tom and Audrey had me solving the clues along with them.

As it is a 12 it allows you to take the whole family along for a insight into religion you will have never experienced before, as no R.E class teaches you what is in this film. I Recommend this film to you... Go and see it!

The Da Vinci Code is an incredible book, and still one of my favorites in terms of story, concept, and a massive amount of details backing up their claims - that's true for any Dan Brown book. The concept itself is strong enough to warrant a movie, but any fan of the book knows they'll never be able to captivate the details put in the book. In a sense, it's an un-filmable story - but nevertheless something people need to see, because it's still immensely interesting. The book reads like the most entertaining persuasive speech ever told - it's so captivating that you, as a reader, begin to question religion and what's true or not. That's because Dan Brown doesn't just use his own imagination, in a way, he also cites his material with the works of others - and everything is backed up. He didn't come up with the concept, he just popularized it.

The movie could never match up to the book, I knew that when I first saw it - but I never knew how they'd pull it off for a condensed story. Yeah, the movie is 2.5 hours long, but it feels rushed because they seem to use all the details Dan Brown did...but only the main topics without the explanation necessary. In short, the movie is convoluted because the viewer might have a hard time grasping all the historic events and figures the movie talks about - which is a lot without offering a real breather. The book made me google something or other after every chapter, the movie is just interesting.

I love the fact that they made The Da Vinci Code a film, it's not a story that deserved to be left to the pages, nor is any other Dan Brown book. I hope one day, they'll also make The Lost Symbol, which is my favorite of the stories so far...but I'm beginning to doubt it. If you've never read the book, do it. This movie serves as more of a companion than anything else, but it's still worth the watch, regardless of how convoluted the movie is.

Don’t watch the short version, it’s bad. The extended is great.

after angels and demons and inferno this one leaps forward as the best adaptation of the books. easy to watch, lots of fun stuff to learn and faithfull to the book.

I'm really not quite sure why it took me this many years to watch it (possibly due to my working in a book store when it came out (I tend to avoid over hyped movies/books)). This was very predictable. Even though I found it lacking in the energy other movies of its ilk provide, it was still entertaining. And interesting enough that I'll pull the book off the shelf snd finally read.

A linear novel favors the adaptation of this good fiction.

An entertaining mystery with a great cast. It takes a silly plot too serious. Yet, I found it interesting the whole time. It’s better if you don’t take it as serious as it takes itself.

Fun and entertaining with some interesting ideas and plot twist. However, not the best thriller out there despite the star lineup of the cast and the best-seller book the movie is based on.

Though I have read the book some years ago, the ending still felt sort of anti-climatic. Your average movie ends short after the apprehension of the villain, but it went on. After the family reunion it still went on...
They made such an effort to disguise the main villain and then they just showed him immediately. That felt wired. And over all, that bishop seemed a little to insignificant compared to the book...
