This movie supposedly got bad reviews. Today I went and saw it and I would have to disagree with the critics. The movie was all and all very good. It had a few twists in there that I didn't see coming, which I found made the movie even better. I have not yet read the book so I can't tell you if the movie was flattering to the book or not, that's for you to decide.

In short, I recommend seeing it; even if you haven't read the book.

I give it 7 out of 10 stars.

I didn't find the movie all that great. After getting into the first 30 minutes, I became bored and my mind began to wander around. It's probably because I've watched a few documentaries on it already, and all the information spewed seemed repetitive.

Anyway, if you haven't seen many of the documentaries on this stuff, then you'll probably enjoy it.

Mythix · « **Reply #2 on:** May 21, 2006, 01:27:54 am »

eh, I read the book a couple times, its up there as one of my favorites, I'm not sure whether I'll see the movie yet or not, probably spoil my apetite.

I don't like bashing other branches of Christianity, nor do I want anyone to take this personal, but The Catholic Church is really stupid sometimes. They call seeing Harry Potter a sin because it deals with magic? The call the DaVinci Code a sin because it said Jesus could have been married? Come on, we all know he wasn't - the bible records practically his every move from the age of 12 on up.

I actually think it's extremely possible he was married. I mean, he was Jesus. I'm sure the ladies were all over the son of God.

Seriously though, I don't see the big deal or why it's so far fetched.

It just drug out. I never said the movie was bad. I just feel that the conclusion took way too long. The conclusion moved at a slower pace than most of the movie, and whenever movies slow down that much, I get bored.

Add some shooting, explosions, and car chases and it would be better.

Joe · « **Reply #17 on:** May 23, 2006, 10:25:40 am »

Back on topic, if I understand correctly, the DaVinci Code states that Jesus was married to Mary, his mother, which would make him a sinner for breaking the laws of Deuteronomy 22, reguarding sexual purity.

You don't. . He was supposedly married to Mary Magdolin (probably spelled wrong).

From what I understand, there is a lot in the bible as her following them around, but it didn't mention anything about the relationship between her and Jesus. A few hundred years later, the Church went back and said that she was a prostitute who had redeemed herself. There was nothing in the bible about that, as far as anybody can tell the Church basically invented that.

Sidoh · « **Reply #21 on:** May 23, 2006, 08:37:35 pm »

iago's correct. The Da Vinci code (and similar theories) say he's married to Mary Magdalen--that's not his mother.

igimo1 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 23, 2006, 11:28:35 pm »

Jesus being married would violate a great deal of sacrements; would his offspring be divine? demi-gods?

If I'm not mistaken, the movie said that Jesus was just a mere mortal. He didn't rise from the grave and whatnot; the church apparently added that in to make Jesus seem to be much, much more.

I've always suspected that the story of Jesus rising was true.

Without taking a religious perspective, it seems to me that Jesus was intimately familiar with medicine, and very advanced for his time. He supposedly "resurrected" people, and cured people, and all that.

I suspect that Jesus didn't actually die, but slipped into a coma. Perhaps he even brought it on himself, somehow, who knows? And a couple days later, he came out of the coma in the so-called resurrection. I'm perfectly willing to believe that he could have appeared dead, and modern medicine sees that type of thing all the time.

Sidoh · « **Reply #26 on:** May 24, 2006, 10:38:53 pm »

There's a problem with that theory, though. Jesus was cruicified. I'm not saying that makes faking death impossible, but it would certainly make it much more difficult.

iago · « **Reply #27 on:** May 25, 2006, 08:10:22 am »

That much strain/stress could easily land somebody in a catatonic by still alive state. If Jesus was the medical person that we think he is, then he might have known that too, and he might have known how to condition his body to survive the assault. Maybe.

Joe · « **Reply #28 on:** May 25, 2006, 08:20:18 am »

He was stabbed in the side, garunteeing that he was dead.

I don't think so. As Joe already said, he was stabbed in the side. Romans did that too all of the people they cruicified. Being on a cross for nine hours and then being stabbed in the side is a pretty sure cause of death.

If Jesus was the Messiah, and he knew it, I highly doubt he would waste his time getting married instead of preaching. There's many musicians out there that have dedicated themselves to a life of only music, and do not get married because of this. I'm almost 100% sure Jesus would not get married because he would get distracted. Don't you also think there would be something about it in the Bible if it were true?
