if so what did you think, i watched it last night and was a bit disturbed by some of it, there is quite a bit of violence in it.

I saw it and it was pretty much what I expected (I had low expections going in). It was just like any other mystery movie just with a religious storyline. A lot of people are making a big deal about it but it is a fictionally story. I dont agree with the message they sent but if it does help some people to try to seek the truth and become closer to god I guess then in a round about way it could be a good thing.

The presumption of the Da-Vinci Code is that Jesus is the Guy in the middle of the painting of 'The Last Supper'...
However, isn't Jesus the GUY on the left of the Guy in the middle of the painting - The one with his ARMS OUTSTRETCHED, In WHITE and a BEARD holding back the other Disciples...
I believe Da-Vinci had a wicked sense of humour - The person in the middle of the table could be JUDAS, which is why the GUY in WHITE is holding the other Disciples back...

I do not see why the violence disturbed you... Most religions and definitely the Christian one have a lot of violence when it comes to defending their beliefs and secrets that might jeopardise their power over their faithful.
Also on the Opus Dei I know a girl who went to one of their schools and she told me that it was absolutely true on this. I hope that they are not going around murdering people though...
As for the question of the blood line this is a theory that is accepted in many circles as Jesus was on Earth as a man and of course it would make sense for him to be married. Marriage is a sacred part of the Christian religion anyway.

Haven't seen it. The trailer looks good, though. There had to be violence in the movie. It's in the book. I think it was rated PG-13 for the violence.

Read the book , looked forward to seeing the film. Casting (with the possible exception of Tom Hanks) was spot on, having french actors (Jean Reno and Audrey Tatau) playing french characters was a nice touch.
The ending was 'modified' to make it more hollywood and that seemed unneccessary.
Angels and Demons would be a better story to make into a fim.

I can only evaluate it as a movie, as I never read the book, and don't have any real emotion invested into the "accuracy" of the story.
As a movie, i found the story lacking on many levels, and thought that the usually excellent Tom Hanks looked subdued throughout, as if he had been drugged (Prozac?).

Read the book. Won't see the film because pisses me off. People are taking it literally. The author said it was a work of fiction. It says so in the book. The lies that people half believe after seeing this book are terrible.

Read the book and there is more than was shown on film. Also - be careful if the other Dan Brown books are filmed as they have more bloodshed and violence that DaVinci

Oh, it was less than some other movies.
The thing about it - I wasn't impressed by the overall effect. I liked individual performances (especially Ian McKellen and Jean Reno's).

Unfortunately. The movie is 10 times worse then a book. And also if you didn't read a book I think movie is too embroiled.
