Do you prefer the movie or book version of The Da Vinci Code?
I prefer the book, even though I am not crazy about it. I hated the movie. It was stupid, I thought, and came off as pure propaganda. I don't like how they twisted Langdon, making him seem like he was skeptical of the whole "grail" story told by Teabing. It wasn't like that in the book, and the book made him at least more convincing.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I read the book and it was really good. Honestly, I don't see how they are going to fit all of that in a movie. I can't see it being nearly as good as the book, but that is what tends to happen everytime. Hollywood gets a hold of a good book and usualy tears it apart so that it comes nowhere near the quality of the book.

That's true. It happens all the time that Hollywood messes up a book. In this one, some parts were trying to follow it too closely, and others were just off the wall. It was very poorly done, I thought.

Well i read the book first, and I heard that the movie was not so good but I have not seen the movie just yet so I will have to get back to you on that one. I would think that the movie was just as good as the book but I read the book and finished it in 3 days it was awesome book!!

I was surprised at some of the changes from book to movie.
The movie wasn't nearly as good, I thought.

It was much better than the movie! But I did think the end of the book was a big let down. Most of the story moved along alright, but there were a few points where it bogged down, I think. The movie was just horrible, though.

I liked the movie. I thought Tom Hanks did an excellent job. And it makes me want to read the book and do the research. I can tell a movie is pretty good (to me anyways) if it makes me want to research the topic.
