I watched it friday night, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It more or less sticks to the book which I have read, though certain parts differ. I was under the impression that people who hadnt read the book found the film hard to follow, from the reactions in the cinema. I never listen to reviews on films, because thats just one persons view of a film and in my opinion it was well worth watching yet got slated in the reviews. If anything the film was very thought provoking indeed, and everyone who’d been in the cinema was talking about it after. I give it the thumb up. :D :wink:
He’s a 1 trick pony – most of his books are very similar – same subjects same plot etc
Funnily enough I thought exactly the same thing about Robert Langdon being played by Tom Hanks. I wouldnt have chosen him for that part personally. You get an image of how someone is and for me Tom Hanks wasnt it. Top actor tho he is. Not sure who Id have chosen though.
Read the book and loved it, will be going to see the film but I normally find the film’s a let down after reading the book, will have to wait and see though.
If you find the story behind the Da Vinci Code fascinating, and the concept the Jesus was married to Mary and all that flows from it…. then I can reccomend a some background reading.
The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail – by Michael Baigent & Richard Leigh & Henry Lincoln. (published by Corgi Books ISBN 0-552-12138-X)
The Temple and the Lodge – same authors (Corgi Books ISBN 0-552-13596-8)
The Hiram Key – by Christopher Knight & Robert LomasCentury Books ISBN 0-7126-8579-O)
For those of you that read the above books, you will find them really thought provoking indeed.

instead of calling POPCORN, GET YER POPCORN HERE.
they could shout……… BAT’S….GET YER DEAD BATS HERE!
And there’s an extra charge for the blue flapping ones apparently, i hear they are delicous. :wink:
anyway……. back on the thread.
yes i have read the book, and found it very gripping, once i got into it i couldnt put it down
found myself waking up in the middle of the night to read another few chapters.played havoc with my time keeping at work, (sleeping in)
needless to say my boss was highly delighted when i got to the end of the book :lol:
i thought it was a fantastic read, and would recommend it to any book worms out there.

Thanks everyone.
