qmtv OK, I only saw the last 45 minutes of this borefest, from the scene where Tom, Audrey Tautou, and Ian McKellen are in some church where tom throws the vile and Ian leaps for it. Best thing to shut the movie off after Ian falls to the ground. That leap was worth it. What follows is utter boredom, except for the part when Ian is thrown into the cop car and he's seen yelling out the window, embarrassing for Ian, but may find some laughs. I was laughing.I have not read the book, and I do not plan to watch the whole movie. I've read the Wikipedia and the user reviews for Best, Hated It, Loved It, and Chronological – about 10 each. I have nothing against rewriting accepted religious beliefs or conspiracy theories in movies. I just don't want them in real life. I believe all religion is a tool to control people, as in "give me your worldly possessions and you will have everlasting happiness after you die", or "Give me a hamburger today, and I'll pay you on Tuesday", or "I'll give you bigger better health insurance for a fraction of the price", or Well you get the point. It's a freaking con job. "We'll give the rich tax cuts, so that they will build bigger and better factories for you poor slobs to work" – Con job.Getting back to the The Da Vinci Bore. First Tom Hanks looks like he has his eyes shut, and someone painted eyes where he's closed eyelids are. Now, I respect Tom as an actor, because I've seen enough of his work to call him a good actor, not great, not that, but a good actor. So, first the acting sucks in this movie. Audrey Tautou, and Ian McKellen were also garbage.The story, from what I gathered from the reviews and Wikipedia is garbage. Some kind of mystery and that Jesus had children and descendants. I don't doubt that he did. Most kings and powerful people had kids. But, then we get a multi city tour of looking for clues, action, murder, mystery, (similar to James Bond, or Jayson Borne, or Star Wars, or Star Trek, or Avengers, or any other big budget spectacular nonsense). Only to find out that Audrey is the last of Jesus's descendants. OK! Take a look at the last scene with Tom after he realizes where Jesus's wife is buried. Wood comes to mind? Some user reviewer in the Loved It category with 10 stars vote, stated that the music was incredible. Well, no. Not incredible, only filler. For the money they spent on this crap they could have brought back Beethoven from the grave. Or just use Beethoven.This movie is garbage. It's filler. And that opinion has nothing to do with the religious implications. I've heard about this movie for years, of how great it was. And when I saw it was playing on HBO, I thought OK, I'll catch it. I'm glad I only saw the last 45 minutes. But I did spend time reading the reviews. Hated It (1 star) category has the best views with details of why they hate it. Loved It (10 star) category users love it, because they love it, to them it's just fantastic, but no substance.The name of the game is brainwash. Build it and they will come. But it must be promoted. Yes, they promoted this movie and people came. Propaganda. Tell the people it's great enough times and they will believe you. Tell the people up is down enough times and they will eventually believe you. A perfect example of this is the "movie" Star Wars VII, The Force Awakens. A cheap copy brainless excuse for the Disney film studios to put a product out that will make a profit. So what we have here is not art. Not thinking. They are telling you what and how to think. Freedom has a price. It's called thinking.

nicholas-82765 This film is what you expect - a good film that is entertaining, with a powerful lead actor. Tom Hanks crushes it as always. But, the nice surprise is the strength of the supporting actor. They are all talented for sure, but sometimes a movie like this (action/suspense with a strong lead) does not highlight their abilities. But this movie did highlight their abilities. The movie was very entertaining, kept you thinking and there were some surprises too. While this movie is fiction, it is advised if you are a fan of history, this is likely the film for you.

alindsay-al In preparation for inferno this week I have gone back and watched the first film in this trilogy the da vinci code. The film sees a professor go on the hunt for a mystery that could shake Christianity. Tom hanks plays Robert langdon and he is great in this film. You buy him as a professor and he is easily the most interesting character and sometimes is the voice of the audience. Audrey tautou plays sophie and she has great chemistry with hanks in this film, she was a pretty strong female character and worked well alongside hanks. Sir ian mckellen is really good in this film, he is great alongside hanks and tautou and seems to have fun in this film. However, there are quite a few boring characters who are very bland. Paul bettany plays silas the monk after hanks and at first he showed promise but then becomes a generic bad guy that is forgotten about for the majority of the film. Alfred molina is a great actor but in this film he wasn't even needed and actually really slows the film down. The story has some interesting intrigue involved as the film develops. However, there is just too much going on in this film story arc wise which really bogs the film down with some pretty predictable plot twists. The script is very bland with allot of history exposition that could have probably been explained in a better way. The style of the film has some interesting developments in it. But it is a bit slow paced and I think the film is about 10 minutes too long that hurts the ending. Overall this is a pretty average thriller that isn't a must see.

brunofedericoluque First of all i don't believe in any of those things whatsoever because its all religious propaganda like always to make us believe that there's a higher being out there (?) The only movie I've seen so far about the whole holy grail thing that i actually like (and yes people face it) its Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade besides not believing in it One of the things i hate about people its that they are willing to believe in these things instead of face reality giving credit to nothing i remember a quote from a movie (i cant remember which) that says "Yeah right if you succeed in something yeah right sure THANK GOD now if that thing goes wrong its the DEVILS fault" Honestly do you except me to believe this? If you succeed getting a job you say "thank god for this" so you did nothing? Its zero effort for ya the thing about god its the same thing that applies for "asking help to others" and its simple: NONE GIVES YOU ANYTHING IF YA WANT IT GET IT YOURSELF BECAUSE NONE IS GOING TO HELP YOU NOT GOD NOT ANYONE and if ya want to give "God" a meaning, an explanation, fine from another movie i give you this "Gosd its just a child playing with an ant farm ain't doin nothing for mankind"By the way my family is catholic jeje
