ChristopherWilliamThomson Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I haven't read it myself, but I may. People are still trying to make me read Harry Potter, which I'm loathe to do in my capacity as a snobby git Haha with regards to Harry Potter, same here.

ChristopherWilliamThomson Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 In my defence, I read The Da Vinci Code just before it 'exploded'. Then again that doesn't excuse me from having seen the film in the first week of its release... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBob Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Well i saw the film with the Girlfriend this weekend. I had read her copy of the book before the film and it's pretty close to the text.Having said that, the film is cack. It's way too long (goes on for about 20-30 minutes after the not-so-shattering climax), and it's VERY stupid with dialogue that blockbuster tend to have ("we need to go to Westminster Abbey in London.... thats in England!"). It also looked like Tome Hanks, Amelie & Gandalf didn't need to eat/drink/sleep/ go for a slash desite being on the run for what looked likean eternity. Oh and don't get me started on the Hankster and his weird "manageable" hair.The only good bit was when Paul Bettany playing the monk, epspecially the self Flagellation scenes. I needed to go to the toilet at that point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomblands Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 It also looked like Tome Hanks, Amelie & Gandalf didn't need to eat/drink/sleep/ go for a slash desite being on the run for what looked likean eternity. If you didn't like that, I suggest you never watch 24. Jack Bauer has been for 1 pee in 5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rourkes Drift Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Don't you think it is amazing that cinemas have been packed to the rafters with people wanting to see Da Davinci Code, and also how it has even merited a thread on this site. However, how many people actually go to church these days and care about religion as such? So, on this basis, where is the church going wrong in the todays society - perhaps that is worthy of another thread in another section? Over to you Peerie Bryan.......

Yowe Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I saw the film recently and I think it was better than the book in a way. It seemed to get to the point a bit better. The crazy english guy didn't look anything like the picture I had in my mind from the book though. People who aren't particularly interested in religion have probably been going to see it mostly due to all the publicity and the fact that it caused a bit of a stir. Also, when you basically know nothing about religion, it's easier to watch a film about it than read through piles of intimidating literature.

Tomblands Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Yowe, I didn't think the same about Sir Leigh Teabing (I assume thats who you mean), when I read the book he immediately sprang to mind as the man to play him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowe Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 He did do a good job of it. I just expected more ginger hair, bow ties and pot belly for some reason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cazzie Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Really enjoyed the book even although it's not the kind of book I usually read. Made me want to research a bit more into where the fact separated from fiction. Not seen the film yet - heard mixed reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheesht Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Saw this film at the weekend for the first time. I thought it was pretty good film, but it is no more than that. By chance there was a docuthing on one of the free view channels the next night and oh my (nearly said the G word there) goodness all those people who really believe all that made me laugh out loud. Pray if you like, nobody is listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabiaTerra Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I thought the book was ok, a good story badly written. I've just seen the film and I was pleasently surprised. It wasn't bad, nothing earth shattering but not bad. If it's the only thing in the video shop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
