what does everybody think of the Da Vinci Code?

Answer 1

In my opinion, the movie clearly wasn't as good as the book. The book introduced a very interesting concept about our religious history and supported it profusely while tying it into a story. The movie, however, focused only on the story, which was not the strong point of the book. I don't think it is possible to make the Da Vinci Code a success in Hollywood. It would be better on the History Channel or Discovery Channel, although, everyone would have to remember that it is not entirely fact.

Answer 2

Saw the movie without having read the book. I think that was a mistake. I was very lost throught most of the movie, with only a few things totally clear at the end. I did like the acting by Tom Hanks and Ian McKellan, and the photography of the movie was beautiful. However, the story line was entirely too fast-paced to be able to keep up with unless you had some prior knowledge. My boyfriend has read the book and went to see it with me, and without him telling me some more of the background information left out of the movie and clarifying important characters and story points, I would not have enjoyed the movie at all because I would have been too focused on trying to figure out the story. I did enjoy the movie somewhat from a purely entertainment value because I was not bored, but I don't think I would see it again.

Answer 3

I think that the cinematography and the screenplay are brilliant.so is the acting part by audrey toutou and Tom hanks.I liked silas too.However,when u have read the entire book with its chills,thrills and frills, u really dont like the movie as it can never encompass so many details in the book within a time frame of 2.5 hrs.The movie is ok-nice but cannot be compared to the book.The book by far surpasses the movie in every way.

Answer 4

Are you taking about the book, movie, or the premise both are based on?

Didn't read the book, haven't seen the movie (but I do like Tom Hanks' new hair do..)

Regarding the premise... My religion (basically christian) teaches that to be a true heir with Christ, we must fulfill all God's commandments, including marriage. Jesus was willing to be baptized, which in my belief is one of the requisites for inheriting all God has, so why would Jesus not marry?

As far as who Jesus was/may have been married to- It's all speculation. The only thing I would be willing to guarantee is that if Jesus did marry, he married a woman.

Answer 5

The book was pretty creative and entertaining especially if you like puzzles. Dan Brown, the author, became redundant towards the end though. And the end itself was a letdown.

Story Spoiler: The secret is that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and had children.

Now, why would "God in a body", the creator of heaven and earth want a mortal, physical wife and children? Read the bible. The "church" or "assembly" was his bride.

Answer 6

I read the book, and I really didn't like that. My friend saw the movie and she said it was bad. I'm not trying to put it down- the topic Dan Brown chose was amazing, but I didn't like the writing.

Answer 7

I readed the book and the book was a waste. the movie follows the books very closely another waste of time
