Re: The Da Vinci Code, Movie

Believe.....this smells like some......BULL CRAP to me....I read the book and as a beliver in JESUS CHRIST.....I get a huge laugh from this garbage,but hey to each his/her own...for some who are not bible versed ,i can see how you can be persuaded to believe,or buy into some of this crap... .anyways....

I don't see anyone in here "believing" this....we all actually realize that it is FICTION. It is meant to ENTERTAIN.

Re: The Da Vinci Code, Movie

Which is what bothered me about the movie. A lot of the small details that made the characters so much more enjoyable were skipped (not a real knock to the movie considering its impossible to put all of that information on the screen).

That's kind of how I felt. I thought the acting was superb, and unlike a lot of people, I don't think Hanks was majorly miscast. But it seemed like every line, sans the few occasional jokes thrown in there, served no purpose other than to explain something to the audience. I felt like there was next to nothing in terms of character development or chemistry between characters.

That being said, I still thought the movie was worth seeing.

I think that's one of the consequences of making this movie before Angels & Demons. A lot of Langdon's development (as a character) were included in that book. The press got on this movie for its lack of romantic chemistry between the two lead characters, but Langdon's thoughts are still with Vittoria from the first book. An unfair criticism in my opinion.

This movie will serve its purpose as paving the way for drawing huge audiences to the next two movies that are going to follow it.

Re: The Da Vinci Code, Movie

I actually thought the movie was very enjoyable. Was Angels and Demons the sequel? If so I have to read that now

Re: The Da Vinci Code, Movie

Angels and Demons was actually before DVC.

Angels and Demons was actually before DVC.

Yup. And personally, I thought it was better.

Re: The Da Vinci Code, Movie

Is DVC the last book of the series? Man I'm all into the theories and stuff now I just got home from the theater and I'm hooked

Re: The Da Vinci Code, Movie

There's a third "Robert Langdon" book coming out within the next year, I think.

And Dan brown has two other books "Digital Fortress" and "Deception point" you may want to check out.

What is the book centering on in terms of storyline?

Called the Solemn Key, and takes place in Washington(I'd assume revolving around the Smithsonian maybe?)

The tentatively titled "Solomon Key" is supposed to be centered in and around Washington D.C., its architecture, and the Masons. Masonic influences can be seen in everything around D.C. (so I've been told). There are numerous books about it, "Egypt on the Potomac" for one, and large number of our founder fathers were Free Masons.

For example: The Capitol, Washinton Monument, White House, Lincoln Memorial, and the Jefferson Memorial all (supposed to) form a perfect cross. However, the ground were the Washington Monument was supposed to be erected was too soft so they had to move in a couple hundred yards closer to the Capitol. There is a small plaque in the place where the Washington Monument is supposed to rest.

Conspiracy theorists/rumors have it that every single one of our presidents with the exception of two were/are Free Masons.

If you think hard enough figuring out the two that weren't is pretty easy.

Here's a hint: They've been historically linked for decades.

Re: The Da Vinci Code, Movie

I've been waiting on this sequal for way too long. I'm excited about the fact that it takes place in the US so I'll know where in the hell they are talking about whenever I get my hands on the book.
