Haha, yes. Dan Brown, John Grisham, Tom Clancy, Jeffery Archer, Andy McNab... they all belong firmly in the pile of "books what you don't have to think to read". That's not necessarily a bad thing, and I've enjoyed a couple of Jeffery Archer books myself, but don't delude yourself that you're reading something of any artistic merit whatsoever.

You pretentious Tosspot.

I'm not a fan of Grisham, because I find lawyer stuff boring. Andy Mcnab, Well I've never read one but the man is using his experiences to produce exciting page-turners.

Clancy I won't have a word said against ( Even though I KNOW he has his faults)

Jeffrey Archer? Fantastic.

Personally I wouldn't wipe my arse on shakespeare rubbish etc.

Who says he has to like Shakespeare lol...?

And if you read his post properly:

All he's saying is that there's no artistic merit in them...which is true.

Saw the film last night. Both me and my girlfriend enjoyed it.

8/10 from me

Oh, I hadn't read the book before I saw it either so I don't know if that would have made me think less of it....

SexyBetty · 20 May 2006 at 17:57

Saw it last night and loved it!!!!

I had a cry at the end, the music was really moving

Thank you.

If you look closer at my post though, you'll find that I didn't say that those authors were worthless - I just said that their books have no intellectual or artistic content. Which is true. They are, as you said, simply page-turners.

Agreed. All of those authors fall under my idea of 'Airport Fiction', where you don't have to have half a brain to read them and enjoy them.

And from me, I thought although not perfect it was decent and I'm glad I went to see it and ignored the critisism.

Simian · 21 May 2006 at 07:57

Another decent twist on the 'Sereph' (sp?) theory!... (Watch Dogma for the other!!)... I liked it, Kept me alert and watching for the entire film!.

8/10

I like films that turn standard religious dogma on its head!...

eg:
Dogma,
End of Days,
Devils Advocate,
Stigmata,
Omen (just the first two!!),
Constantine...

and now:

The Da vinci Code!...

I'm not religious (people tend to think so due to my birthday on Crimbo Day!) but I like it is a good story! (I'm going to Hell

). Its sort of... Did it happen or not???.. Hmmmmmmmmm

Both me and my girlfriend read the book when it came out and both enjoyed it , anticipated the release of the film etc..

All I can say is screw the critics, judge the film for yourselves. We really enjoyed it and can't wait to see it again.

The critics that were so ready to slam this film need to just relax and enjoy the film for what it is.

A complete aside: your username always makes me chuckle. Is the mis-spelling deliberate?!

Plebo · 21 May 2006 at 17:46

I thought the film was quite watchable and certainly not deserving of many of the poor reviews. Certainly a lot worse on at the pictures!

WushuMaster · 21 May 2006 at 17:53

I also thought it was decent. It missed out on the intricacy of the book a little but the basic story has the power to make you wonder. Me and my friends spoke about it for ages afterwards and whether there is any truth there or not, it still makes you think about the possibility that such 'truths' do exist and have been covered up.

Granted its only a mildly intelligent film, but still one to make the average person think a little, and that makes it alright with me.

DanMc07 · 21 May 2006 at 18:11

I actually really liked this film, ive been anticipating its release for a while now, and im really glad i went to watch it! 9/10

Mr.Orb · 21 May 2006 at 19:02

Just saw it, I loved every minute of it. I didn't read the book but I managed to pick up what it was all about and what was going on.

All was great apart from ####### 10 girls (about 14/15 years old) who were sitting a few rows infront of us... They were talking, playing on their mobiles, switching places, getting up and down for the whole film :mad:

Why did they bother going to see it :confused:
