I was planning to go this weekend but there are some bad critic reports,so i thought i would ask the normal people lol.

[lightoftruth]

not my cup of tea, big hype, rubbish book and rubbish film but thats just my poinion.

i saw it at weekend and thought it was good....cud not see why the critics were slating it.

[devilwoman]

my opinion, i meant

[Loosehead]

One of the guys here saw it over the weekend and reckons it's total sh1t. Much too long, too slow, too obvious. it takes nearly 3 hours and he reckons you could fit it in a 1 hour tv show.

Not my own view as I haven't seen it. I'm told that the book is a good read though.

i wouldn't say it's worthy of all the hype but then i didn't think the book was worthy of all the hype either!!!

personally i thought it was ok...but if i were you, i'd wait til it's out on DVD!!!

[doglady]

I thought it was good, but that you had to have read the book to understand some of it and how it all fitted together. There was also a bit at the end that I don't remember from the book, where Sophie meets all the people (if that gives too much away then I apologise wholeheartedly). And I've lent the book to my mum and she won't give it back, so I can't check it!

Have you read the book?

I have and couldn't wait for the film, saw it saturday and sadly agreed with the critics, which i really didnt want to do!

I personally found it patchy, there are people in it who you dont really understand why if you havent read the book and if you have you think eh? that wasnt explained very well!
There is a person in the film at the end who is in the book as a certain person but in the film it doesnt explain that person and who they are! DAFT!

p.s i have tried to write that so as not to spoil anything, although i doubt it would anyway!

...Also too long and wooden acting (the main female doesnt look much different when she is happy or scared)

I did give it a chance and understood it could never be exactly the same as the book, but the person who wrote the screenplay needs to go back to screenplay school!

IMO!!! ;o) right i'm done! phew thats off my chest! xx

I found it incredibly boring - I had read the book and found it to be entertaining but criticized it for the bad writing and reading like scenes from a film; from this i imagined that it would make a good film but it was really dull.

Can't really put my finger on why, it stuck to the original story (ending is different) the acting was pretty average etc but it seemed to go on forever, it didn't stir any emotion in me - i didn't come out thinking it was exciting or annoyed that it wasn't - it was just ok!

I had NOT read the book, and knew little about it.

I went to see the film Sunday and came out after about 30 minutes.

I have now bought the book and started to read it and some of the things I saw in the film are begining to make sense.

** POSSIBLE SPOILER **

Only read if you have seen the film.

One of the reasons I came out is because of 2 things that happened in the first 30 minutes.

First, when the professor is signing books in the bookshop surrounded by the public he is approached by a policeman and in full view of the public shows him a picture of the dead body and asks if he will come and have a look.

Would this really happen in a bookshop at a book signing !

Secondly, when he pretends to escape from the Lourve all the police shoot off in their cars to look for him. They leave nobody by the body and nobody in the Lourve (even though the murderer may still be there).

The professor is left to look at the body and touch things with nobody there to stop him, also to wander round the Lourve looking at and even touching paintings. As if.

i really liked it...and it is a good adventure story.. as long as you take it with a huge pinch of salt!! i think the critics were too quick to judge it...but on the whole i really enjoyed it...apart from the albino monk...my god that guy freaked me out!!! i kept hiding under my jacket!!! scardey i know

p.s tom hanks looks very cute in it!!

Hi if you have not read the book or seen various programmes about The Da Vinci Code then you will get lost and would not have a clue as to what is going on. I have seen the film and yes it has been hyped up, and Tom Hanks is starting to look like Tod Carty from eastenders!!!

[Mattk]

I have seen the film but not read the book(a deliberate move on my part so as not to spoil the film).I would now say that this is very important as it would have taken a lot away from the movie.

Its a good movie,not great but certainly not worthy of its mauling by the critics or leaving after only 30 mins(a bit of over analysis going on there - no offence(i do it too but take some things with a pinch of salt)!

If this was on sky,it would get a 3 star rating.

i hadnt read the book or heard much about the storyline, but i saw it last week and i thought it was great! i wasnt greatly confused or bored by it! go see it i say!

[pega]

I went to see it this afternoon and found it too long and not much of a story, and as for 12A so much death and violent in it, Roslynn chapel seemed to have been mentioned a lot to do with this film but only a small part at the end. I didn't read the book, but have been doing the Eurostar quest, have done the 3 puzzles and waiting to enter the grand puzzle so throught best to see film, Anyone who has done the Eurostar quest will see a lot of the story was used in the puzzles, A lot of hype made of film, and there was only about 25 people at the showing I went to. worth seeing just to say your've seen it.
