They say its controversial....why ????

The fact that people are taking a NOVEL, a work of FICTION, i.e. something that is MADE UP, as being true.

You ask 2 questions.
1) what was bad about the movie: Ron Howard followed the book religiously. (No pun intended.) This is bad because the book wasn't very good. I liked the movie though. Sir Ian McKellan's performance is worth the ticket price alone.
2) It's controversial because it challenges traditional Chrisitan beliefs. (As you probably know, Chrisitians HATE it when you simply question something in their religion.)
And contrary to what people here say, it does not "make fun" of Christians. I think it actually gives Chrisitanity credibility.
The irony in this entire controversy is that both the Da Vinci Code and the Bible are a blend of fact and fiction.
That, my friend, is fact. (Jesus told me so.)

You people kill me. Its a damn movie. There is no law stating that movies need to be based upon true events. Does anyone ever think that Hollywood might have an imagination? What moron watches a movie and then says that's not true? The movie is wrong. No kidding!!!!! It's a damn movie, get a life and worry about things that are happening in the world today instead of a work of FICTION on the big screen.

Well, for obvious reasons it's blasphemous the claims they made that Jesus & Mary are married & that He fathered a child. Also the book claims that their descendants still survives to this day and are guarded by a secret society named the Knights Templar.
On Tom Hanks, the hair definitely! I found the pace of the movie much too slow.

the controversy around it was just absurd. Some Christians were upset because it goes against their beliefs and the teachings of the bible. It's just a movie, and a bad movie at that. I bet it wouldn't have been as popular if Christians would have just ignored it rather than drawing so much attention to it with their boycotts.

As a piece of art about art, it really gets caught up in the action. Tom Hanks is getting too old for action films. Did he ever really play a good action role? No.... Bad actor choice for that character.

too many things, i read the book and the movie was extreamly disappointing. tom hanks (even tho hes one of my fav actors) was the wrong guy to play Robert langdon. 1. he was too old, 2. his hair was too long, langdon had normal hair, and 3. what happened to the tweed jacket it is very prominent in the book but missing compleatly from the movie. as i said i was sadened but the movie.

It is an absolute lie about Christianity and the life of Jesus Christ. Whoever made this movie and wrote this book obviously never read the Bible.
