I didn't think it was as boring as the critics said. In fact, I thought it was quite good.
Little bit too long, and Tom Hanks was pretty awful as Langdon - but not the worst possible actor for the part.
Thought Ian McKellen was superb!
Anyone else seen it?

Indeed he is, he's the only other actor who does the cast any justice.
I still prefer the book, but I think that's because I didn't find the ending dragged on so much when I read it. Watching the ending to the DVC did feel a tad tedious.
Still good though!

Ok book, but Dan Brown's style of writing sucks, and it's a cheap method to keep you reading.
The film I saw in my dream when I fell asleep watching the Da Vinci code was great.

Yep, he's not a particularly good writer - but when you're writing for the masses and trying to appeal to everyone, writing skills aren't really that important - it's his ideas. Even his characters aren't fleshed out very well, but that doesn't stop people liking the book
I thought Angels and Demons was actually a whole lot better, but it'll never shock anyone as much. Hardly a conspiracy really.

I saw it, wasn't too bad but then again wasn't amazing. I dont think the hype helped for its review with the critics ![]()

it's true, but saying that - I went in expecting it to be appalling thanks to the critics, and that actually made the film a pleasant surprise, as opposed to be agreeing with them.

I never really go on what critics say, damn them!!
I guess i'll be watching the Da Vinci code after all

I wasn't a huge fan of the book, not to the excess of some people. but it was ok to read once, i couldnt read it again, and it read like a harry potter book. its good if you want something quick and easy

Try Angels and Demons. I preferred it, he wrote it before Da Vinci Code.

this movie was too long, didnt feel as long as king kong which i walked out of, but didnt think it was that great, books always have an advantage over the movies

First time i had read the book before seeing the film !!!..... felt strange as you knew what was to happen. It was nice to see they kept true to the book with no daft Hollywood twist at the end.
Angels and Demons would make a better film.

The book was one of the worst things I've ever read. The film was worse.
Avoid!!!!
