Ahh, ok, thanks.

But what the poster was referring to was the coming of a religious debate, an absolute no-no here at OS. We have to be careful when talking movies like this.

Exactly what I meant

Re: The Da Vinci Code, Movie

well it's got my favorite actor Tom Hanks in it... I'll go see it regardless, I'm sure this movie will do well no matter what the critics say... but at the same time I could see this being a massive flop just as easily...

The movie has gotten panned on Rotten Tomatoes thus far.

By panned I thought you meant bad....

But I didn't think you meant 8% bad... holy crap... that's the lowest rating I've ever seen for a movie on Rotten Tomatoes... WOW... This could be a horrible disaster.

Re: The Da Vinci Code, Movie

Certainly a little worrying...but I honestly dont think I've ever really agreed with critics on most movies that I end up liking.

Usually why I don't read reviews of movies before seeing them. I'm just wondering if the critics were expecting a super-thriller, or something, because calling it a "talky" film means it's more or less exactly like the book. Wasn't like the book was overly action filled, it just got your mind working with twists and all the facts...

R.T's ratings certainly aren't going to make me suddenly want to wait until it's out on DVD, I'll still be going this weekend.

Re: The Da Vinci Code, Movie

yeah i agree, i hope they make that into an movie as well. I wonder if its going to be more difficult since its made in the vatican unless they make a whole new world replicating it.

I agree, I liked Angels & Demons better than Da Vinci Code. I was thinking that it could be because I read Da Vinci first, so I was more prepared for Dan Brown's style of writing... Just my thought

Credible critics wouldn't care if a movie was "talky" as long as it was good. The public movie going audience might, but not 15 out of 16 critics as it stands right now.

If a critic doesn't like a silly comedy or an action movie, it might still be entertaining to a lot of people. If they don't like a "talky" movie, it's probably as bad as they say.

Nah, it's because A&D is just a better story

Luckily I'm part of the public movie going audience who can enjoy a 'talking' movie, and not a credible critic, huh? lol

Re: The Da Vinci Code, Movie

You misunderstood...

I was saying critics probably wouldn't pan a movie for having lots of dialogue if the dialogue and movie is good. Movies that get the best reviews from critics are typically character-based dramas that rely on dialogue, not action, to get their point across.

I don't really have an opinion on The Da Vinci Code besides the fact that I was sort of looking forward to it. I hope you find it worth your money.

Ah, yeah...did misunderstand that.

I just think too many people put too much into reviews all around these days: movies, music, games, TV shows, everything. Critics and experts who could have completely different taste than you, and who I've found have different taste than me multiple times, say the movie, or game, or show, isn't good, and people don't bother checking it out for themselve.

you won't like it, no snipers.

Also, let me just say how much you were pissing me off the other night on call of duty. I was rotating between damnit and son of a b*tch every time you snipered me.

Pissing people off on COD with my sniper rifle is my job...ask anyone on here, lol.
