Maybe they are going to try to educate the kids about the issue before you go see it. Considering the book was shown to change people's likeliness to beleive Jesus and Mary were married, they may not want to show it to young impressionable high schoolers without first preparing them...That's what I would do at least. Or, you could be exactly right, I never did care too much for the catholic church in the first place.

just got back from seeing it.

Out of 5 stars, I'd give it a 3.5. I never finished reading/listening to the book before I went in and saw it. But the people that did read it said the book was better (as is many cases in film).

My review is just from a person that has no knowledge of Dan Brown's book. I was really excited to hear the music once I read that John Williams was doing it. But eh, out of 5 stars, I'd rate the music a 2. There really was "no theme" to anything. It just was a bunch of slow, moving, orchestral string chords. It added to the erie feel for sure. But I just wish that it had something that would remind me of the Da Vinci code when I heard it (ie. Indiana Jones or JAWS).

Tom Hanks for some reason sounded a bit stuffy with his nasal passage. There was a scene early on in the movie where it was REALLY evident that he might have had a cold. But as the movie progressed, it really didn't bother me at all. That could have been because 1) it got better and his 'cold' cleared up. or 2) I just got used to hearing his altered voice. Tom Hanks did a fantastic job...he still ranks in my top 3 Favorite Actors.

The woman actor reminded me of a mix between Cathrine Zeta Jones and Brook Burke. ha

I thought it was a good flick. It is nothing that is going to take the film industry to a new level or anything. It is just getting alot of attention b/c of the stupid Papacy. rolleyes: If it wasn't for that, it wouldn't have as much hype-factor imo.

i thought it was pretty good, i mean no movie ever exceeds the book in terms of being great. i couldnt see tom hanks being langdon, but he did a great job of being that type of character.
