The premise of the movie, namely that the Catholic Church has been covering up the truth for 1000’s of years to protect their own control over the flock of the faithful, is just so HARD to believe… after all, every one KNOWS that the Priests and Church Leaders are the ultimate in godliness and honesty and piety and humility and love for the people in their care… who would ever believe that they would indulge in lies and deceit and even stoop to paying off people who threatened to expose the truth that would undermine their power and position… it’s unthinkable!

Ask any altarboy…

I hate big budget blockbusters that barely break wind…

Maybe you can get your 3 hrs back in heaven…

I know whatcha mean. I saw MI3 and it was also predictable.

I’m waiting for A Scanner Darkly and Peaceful Warrior ;).

You write: “I would have enjoyed it much more not knowing anything about it.”

Well you’re gonna hate the new Superman movie cause I know you’re a Superman fan and I’m sure you know what happens. How many times do you think they can rehash an old story? I think the best thing about today’s remakes is the new CGI technology that makes for delicious eye candy but in the end, nothing can help a bad script, bad acting and bad directing.

I hated DaVinci Code as well. Tom Hanks could have phoned in his performance. (Poor Leonardo is probably rolling over in his grave.) I kept falling asleep. I know some people are gonna love it just as some people like Volvos…I’m not saying that’s bad. It’s just a matter of taste. I’m glad it was banned in the Philipines. Now all those poor people don’t have to spend their hard earned money watching a worthless piece of shit. Too bad it wasn’t banned here but I’d probably end up paying for a pirated copy just to see it. From now on I’m waiting for movies to come out on DVD and it seems lately, the waiting period has been less and less since movie theaters will soon be a thing of the past - just like the old drive-ins. And speaking of movie theaters - no wonder they’re headed for extinction. I will never go to a movie theater again as long as I live! Allah strike me dead if I do. The seats are so uncomfortable. It’s like sitting in 10th class on “Ninety-Nine Cent Airlines.” My butt was so sore after I got outa there I felt like I just had a 2 1/2 hr colonoscopy.

Ok first I never have understood CLAPPING at the end of a MOVIE. It’s a movie, for de Vinci’s sake, it’s not like you are telling the actors you enjoyed their performance.
Second, I can’t stand any 2 1/2 hour movie. Gone With the Wind, Titanic, ok I can’t think of any other 2 1/2 hour movies, but they both put me to sleep. Didn’t they used to take intermissions between GWTW when it was first at theaters?
Third, I still like Tom Hanks and Opie.
Forth, I’ll see anything that pokes at the church.
I do believe there was a fifth, but my son distracted me.
amen

Now I admit I haven’t seen the Da Vinci code but my boss said something that made me laugh…he said:

I think that movie sucked so bad it invented new ways of suckage.

I read the book when it was first published. It was an interesting read but not something I ever thought they’d make a film out of. I haven’t seen the film yet but as a lot of people like you have said, it reaaaaaally dragged. I generally enjoy Tom Hanks to a certain degree but I’m not sure if this film was right for him.

I’m chompin’ at the bit for X3. It was really one of the better “comic to big screen” ports.

Cheers!

LOL @ your verification.

just for your information. .. Gone with the wind was four hours long, not 2 and a half. Its the best movie ever so don’t dis it. The Davinci Code was alright. I thought itd be better, but I love audrey tetou so it was alright.
