The DaVinci Code

[AntiVirus]

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.

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.

[trust]

I liked it.

I liked it.

But your church forbade you to see it! You're going to hell.

Except I'm not Catholic.

Are Catholics not supposed to see this movie?

Don't you read the forums? :P

There was a ~4 page discussion involving this subject.  The vatican has put a "boycott" on this movie.  I'm not sure about the books, though.

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.

It's not just Catholicism, my church(Fundamentalist) detests 'arry Po'ha and The Da Vinci Code.

Except that 18 year period between ages 15 and 33.

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 was an interesting movie. However, it started to keep going and going towards the end.
