You guys suck Book was excellent

Instead of talking about the film let's post some wicked cool ambigrams.

So they didn't make Hanks keep that stupid haircut!

I always wondered who came up with his haircut for Da Vinci. It was appalling.

It looks awful, I won't be giving it a chance.

Maybe it was an evil catholic conspiracy.

I can't work out if you're being serious or not.

Deadly serious.

I liked it, just turned up today in Blu Ray so if might watch it tonight ready for this film

I too liked The Da Vinci Code, a lot.

I still think that the final scenes when Langdon has his realisation is one of my favourite scenes ever. It's so beautifully done. Running across Paris with the music playing, reciting the lines of the riddle being led to the Louvre, then dropping to his knees. Epic stuff.

The book was pish so the film will need to work a minor miracle to make it worth watching.

Badly written? Because I dont think that what happens in the book could fail as a movie. It's so fast paced, I dont see how it could fail. We'll see.

I enjoyed the book, so I might see this at the cinema. If not I'll definitely be watching via other, more dubious means.

As far as the rest of his books go, I've enjoyed those too. I don't think or claim them to be literary masterpieces but I think they're quite entertaining.

I enjoyed the Da Vinci Code too, both book and film.

Should Tom Hanks be worried for his career? He used to be able to play any role you'd throw at him but this is some of the most blatant type-casting I've seen...

A lot more reviews there, all of them are fairly positive. Except for Empire who give it 2/5.

Ron Howard does a far superior job of filming Dan Brown's first Robert Langdon novel than he did with his lifeless blockbuster The Da Vinci Code.

In Angels and Demons, director Ron Howard conspicuously gives top priority to the story's beat-the-clock thriller elements.

Plucking the same violent, occult strings as Da Vinci while avoiding its leadenness, Angels keeps the action coming for the best part of 139 minutes.

Sensibly, though, some of the author's crazier embellishments are jettisoned in a film that atones for The Da Vinci Code's cardinal sin - thou shalt not bore.

More entertaining than The Da Vinci Code, but still tosh. Empire.

Shite book it may, but boy it did grip me very well. I started it one day, only to finish it on the same day. The same for DVC, but I hated the film.

But I sort of like it as well. Why? Because the religion zealots are going nuts over it.

Speaking of The Da Vinci Code movie could someone possibly help me out. On the DVD if you go to "Trailers" there's music in the background does someone know what it is?

The most popular piece of music from the movie is Chevaliers de Sangreal. Might be it?

Reading through all of the reviews, and they are all extremely positive. Hardly a single negative point in the first three I have read.




The Vatican have praised the movie too, saying it is harmless entertainment.
