i have yet to see a movie that lived up to the book... 99.9% of the time the movie is nothing remotely close to the book... I.E. Jurassic Park: The lost World

^^well...bad example. the movie wasnt anything like the book. the only reason Chrichton wrote the lost world was because spielberg wanted him to so he could make a movie off of it. he didnt like chrichtons sequel so he based it off of it but changed it drastically.

With Di vinci Code the book was fantastic...the movie was good. Worth the money but not nearly as exciting as the book. They had to cut a bit out and changed the ending significantly.

I went to go see the movie with a friend who had read the book...twice before. She didnt like the movie. So i decided to read the book after seeing the movie. So far the book is better then the movie in my opinon. Im up to about page 420 and will finish it tonight. The Movie was really good, jsut nto as good if you read the book beforehand.

The movie was OK. It was rushed and I really didn't find anything special about it The book was more like a generic fiction book, not impressive to me at all. I could understand why people are protesting. If there was ever a movie that claimed that, say, judaism is false - it would immediately be labeled as anti-semitic and would never be released. Create something, such as "muhhamed code," and you will not only see protests, but people would get killed

it was pretty good, but because they were trying to squeeze the books enourmous amount of info into two to hours...it really made it suffer....

Dan Brown said in his prologue that its a fictional book and isnt supposed to be taken seriously or as fact because he knew something like this would happen. IMO all the controversy is a bunch of BS.
