The Duh Vinci Code
 
I knew it was a stupid, badly written book, but the movie really shows it for the utter lack of talent production that it is. Plus, the premise is nothing new, or worth talking about. Glad I got to see it for free, and could sneak in beer.

Everything kicks ass until people see it and can ------ the reviews by word-of-mouth.

Critics are so out of touch with ppl anyway. A lot of movies are electing not to have screenings for critics.

All the money.... If people had the option of not having their money count towards that total because the movie sucked then it would truly show how "good or lame" movies are.

Eh, the content of both Angles & Demons and The Da Vinci Code are ----, but it's a decent story that captures the average reader's attention. A few of my friends saw it and actually laughed at a few points because of Tom Hank's acting.

I thought it was one of the best movies ive ever seen. The movie in general makes you realize that jesus was just a human being, with the likes of luther king, ghandi and the rest of um. I suggest everyone sees it, if your interested in the god topic you will enjoy it. The bad reviews were comming from cult church america and the rest of the crazy people who believe that god created the earth in 7 days :S

The mistake they made with this movie was all of the hype. People were expecting perfection but what they got was a good movie. If any of you have read the book you will agree that this story rocks. Its just crazy to think that someone could come up with something like this.

Re: The Duh Vinci Code
 
never read the book. saw the movie cuz there was nothing better to see. honestly, decent plot, but, very poor movie. sadly, people will think its true, forgetting the fact that its a movie based on a book thats not true either.

its really not a good movie, its not worth 9.50. not to mention its two and a half hours and the last thirty minutes takes forever...

Re: The Duh Vinci Code
 
i have heard alot of people saying that it sucked, i have read the books and i really liked it ( i read it in one day ) but as far as the whole proof that christianity is a hoax..........its just a book after all, just like the bible. :)

I have the book here at home, but have not read it yet. I want to see the movie, but I'm saving my movie cash for X-Men 3 this weekend :y

I can respect that. My step-dad had read angels and demons, is it any good? He seemed to have enjoyed it.

I got reviews from 3 of my friends and all 3 said its crap and would not see it again even if it was for free, Its like buying ssautochrome, you learn once and thats it, you never use it again.

Brown writes, at best, simple formulaic primers for the modern generation of functional illiterate. His writing goes down easy but lacks substance. The movie shows the monotony of the plot to good effect. It is no wonder this book was a best seller, in a country of fat overweight illiterates...

davcivic 05-24-2006 08:55 AM

Re: The Duh Vinci Code
 
The book was good, all the "facts" are made up, well the buildings are there, the knights templar where there, and other things.
The assumption that Jesus had a kid, is well, a story made up. The Gospels they refer to, where not written by contemporaries of Jesus, or anyone that was there, like the other Gospels. Those are stories written years later after all the people living with Jesus where dead, therefor they cannot be verified or accepted as a gospel of his followers.
The Langdon character in the book is very interesting, the book is entertaining, but fiction. People that don't know any better will believe in anything they are presented with, as long as it is presented in some type of credible way. The book was awesome, and interesting read, at least entertaining.

The movie, they changed a lot of the way the book plays out, the ending was horrible. If you liked the movie, read the book. Angels and Demons is better than Da Vinci, it's another story of the same character Robert Langdon. Again it is all made up, but it's entertaining.

Critics suck ass, they almost never get it right, I never really pay attention to what they say, Pootie Tang is awesome lol, but this time they do have it right.

oh and remember, the mind lets you see what it wants to see, in other words, if you look at a stain in your wall and think it's an image of Jesus, your mind might let you see a Jesus Stain, when really is just a water stain.

Re: The Duh Vinci Code
 
I'm telling you, people will believe anything. We can now come up with a story saying that a book from the first century says that there where fish people living in the seas. People will believe it without doing any research or even thinking about how stupid some things are.
Oh well, :1 :X :1

Movie wasn't worth paying 9 bucks to see, maybe if I had been able to sneak in beer...

ppl say the book is "fiction", which I beleive entirely. But, what makes you beleive the bible is fact? Blind faith. I dont have that. Dont know that I ever will. I used to have it when I was younger and impressionable, but now, I just cant beleive something that has no real evidence to support it, and that goes against everything science has to say.

there is a lot of evidence that supports the bible ::)

It was ok i guess i didnt matter to me i was laughin my ass off because of Eddie Izzard's standup kept going through me head and him all talking about how god created the world and what not and then he was like. you would think that god would reach down and grab a scribs arm and write and on the 7 day got created man, but before that he created dinosaurs, but they were a bit crap so ---- em"

B16CRXT 05-24-2006 01:55 PM

Re: The Duh Vinci Code
 
there is evidence supporting that God created earth and man, jesus was a fatherless child etc.? Stories ------ over thousands of years, can easily be taken as fact. :l

Do you beleive that there is a higher power in control of your life/destiny?

HondaTuner 05-24-2006 01:57 PM

Re: The Duh Vinci Code
 
You don't have to believe that some things (such as Jesus being the son of God, or that God created everything, etc) but if you take it as a historical account its accurate. Take for instance, Jesus. He was a real man, and even if not believed as the Saviour, he was renouned as a "Great Prophet" by many faiths. He did, in fact, walk on this Earth.

HondaTuner 05-24-2006 01:59 PM

Re: The Duh Vinci Code
 
And FYI, they weren't "------". There are original transcripts written at the time of Jesus that are still in existence, that are in Greek. When translated into English directly (which it has been done btw), it has the exact same message at "other" versions of the Bible. So they're still accurate to the beginning transcripts.

davcivic 05-24-2006 02:25 PM

Re: The Duh Vinci Code
 
There lots of proof, but you do have to have some faith or at least some belief that there is a higher power, if not you won't really want to see it. Historically it has been proven that all of the people named as kings, the events of nations raising to be the superpower and others falling written in the bible have been confirmed by archeologists. Even events that where told years before they happened. The bible is not just about Jesus, there's a lot of history in it. A study of the bible will help understand that, but most people either don't have time, or don't want to change their ways, actually don't want to be told something they do right now is not really good for them or good to do. That's when you get people hating on it.

Then there's also the centuries of abuse by some faiths or some churches to their followers, which sadly affect how people see religion, grouping them all together, instead of judging invididual faiths by themselves.

but oh well, everyone will have a different point on this, it's part of being human I guess.
Back to the topic now.......

Critics would only praise it if it was a good movie that could move the society to be more secular than they already are. Because they didn't think the movie was good enough to make everyone a secular democrat, they shot it down. When's the last time you heard of a movie critic that was from a cult church? ??? Churches have nothing to do with Hollywood at all. :S

Anyway, the real god is a guy named Bill, and he smoked out 8,000 people with one joint in 299 B.C. :6

Which is how faith works. You want (or need) to believe in something, so the mind satisfies this need by allowing you to "see" things that strenghten your faith in the thing you want (or need) to believe in.

It's like hearing words in a song that later turn out to be totally different than what you previously believed...

The movie put me to sleep. Whenever I woke up, I found Tom Hanks and the french ---- quivering in fear from a cripple holding a gun. At that point I knew the movie was crap but I couldn't go back to sleeep so I watched it till the end. I hold Dan Brown and the author of Harry Potter in the same esteem. Their fiction is on par with each other, the only disparity between the two is the age of their audience.
