..and by "non-stop chatter", they mean the horrible reviews its been recieving.

PandoraMomo
but reviews dont mean anything anymore. hype does

i work at a movie theater, and we've been selling out out presales. this weekend is gonna be hell

C-Dic
..and when hype leads to misconception, you get poor ticket sales. After this weekend, and everyone sees the movie, it'll plummet.

Punker69
Yeah, thats my bet. Hype will get it past its first weekend. Bad reviews will lead it to its doom.

jaden101
just like it did with the matrix sequels and the starwars prequels

oh wait

ive never understud the hype for this movie, it always sounded bad from the get go. and ron howard and tom hanks, while good, dont seem like the best choices at all for this project.

I actually have to say the movie is really good and I highly recommend you see it. The acting great, what you would expect form Tom Hanks, the story, as we all know, is a brillinat one and the only thing I can say bad about it is some of the scenes are dragged out abit. Otherwise, go see it!!!

I have an unreasonable hate for The DaVinci Code....it's weird...but I so totally do not want to watch this movie....or even be in the same room with someone that knows someone that has seen someone who watched that movie.....

Garbage. The book is utter garbage, so I'm not interested in watching garbage presented in a different medium as it would still be garbage. Garbage.

Instead, I'm thinking of watching some porn.

I'd even say garbage.....but I didn't read the book, so my judgment is kind of....yeah......still it must be garbage...there'S no way this could be good.

Trust me, it's utter garbage. Dan Brown is as bad as Clive Cussler. I have read one Dan Brown, and I shall read no more. The same goes for Cussler. They're both garbage.

Maybe if they worked together they could create something so bad that it is good again...or the Universe collapses....I think they should risk it....

I think they should volunteer for limb amputation, so they never inflict us with their garbage again.

Why volunteer....forcing them seems like so much more fun.

I believe in the power of redemption, Bardock. I honestly believe that if they both think about it hard enough, then they will realise that they are both garbage, and will then agree that the only way out of this mess is through voluntary limb amputation. It's the power of human nature, Bardock. The power of human nature.

You are an idealist. It makes me feel all proud in my heart.

I live to dream my dreams that become real. If we could all channel the powers of dreams, then there would be no need for gas, as we could amputate all the garbage people and use their fossilic gases to make rainbows of natural energy. This, I believe, is what Ahmadinejad is trying to do. I honestly think he has captured Dan Brown, and is currently trying to feed him through a giant pipe the leads into a nuclear reactor. Once inside, he will be given a type-writer and from this his garbage can be channeled to fuel the cars that we all eat. It is my dream.

Hmm, that's good...I like it....you should have made it a little more Martin Luther Kingy though....

Fine. Whatever you want. Here's the MLK version:

Cheese. I live to dream my dreams that become real.

After Posedion flopping and MI 3 being in the top for a second week. I'm prediciting Da Vinci will be on top this weekend. Am I gonna go see it? Nah, too much hype....I'm saving all the hype for Snakes in a Plane.

Wow...Snakes on a Plane...that sounds soo stupid it might actually be good.....

T.M
I think it will be top of the box office for one reason.. the hype.. I think people will go see it for that reason and because of the controversy behind it..

I won't be going to watch it though.. can only be a let down after the hype IMO.

Plus loads of critics really laid into this movie after the festival in Cannes.

I have totally lost my respect for Tom Hanks. For part taking this crappy movie, Which I've seen by the way to mock on how HORRIBLE this movie is.

forumcrew
couldnt agree more, the movie is bad, the story is not brilliant, and the movie is basicly a history lecture, which might be okay if it was a good one. Id rather just go to a class at school and get a good lecture. The movie takes away any of the book's little credibility it had and makes the flaws in it more obvious. Acting was not great, Hanks was a bad choice for this role, so they tried to make it act in a different way then he typicaly does and it does not come out well. The only real depth Langdon had was overhyped clasutraphobia which was NOT a big point in the book.

Horrible!!!!! It was horrible!!

For someone who loves the book, the movie was a total rip on it and destroyed it. Awful!

If you haven't read the book you would be totally lost and confused.

I am a huge Paul Bettany fan but he was not right for Silas. Tom Hanks didn't do the roll justice. And I am astounded that it was a Ron Howard film.

I nearly walked out from bordom.

goldi45

this movie is one of those movie that defys the reason behind the producers, writers, directers...etc greed for money....not directly but in sum sense.........becuz movie makers these days dont seem to be wake abut makin "incredible" movies...rather they r caught up with makin "incredible" amounts of $$$....just stating da simple & obvious facts.....


In a simple note, movie was average, but doesnt live up to its expectations. The end.
