I saw it last Saturday (trying to put a review on as I type this lol). I was actually pretty disappointed in it. I thought it didn't live up to the hype. We're all entitled to our own opinions, but I just didn't think that it was that good of movie. Zack Snyder just took the slo-mo factor and used it whenever he could, and that got extremely annoying. Watch my review for what other flaws I thought the movie had :))

Did you read the graphic novel? I didn't have a prob with the slo-mo, wasn't too much action so didn't mind it at all. Different views from fans of the novel and just average movie goers.

I wanted to read the graphic novel, and I know I should've before I saw the movie. I'm currently reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, so I can know if the movie in May was as good as the book or not. I agree, different opinions, that's just mine ;)

Nothing wrong with different opinions, that's what makes talking about movies fun. I loved the book Da Vinci's Code and did not see the movie because of awful reviews and Tom Hanks terrible hair style. Did not read Angels and Demons but I'm sure it will get awful reviews to. You should still read the graphic novel even if you saw the movie.

I want to, I should pick it up next time at Barnes and Noble or somewhere near there. The Da Vinci Code is a pretty good movie. I read halfway through the book, before it got boring. I really should've stuck it out haha! I'm a little more than halfway finished with Angels and Demons. I think you enjoy movies more if you read the book and then see it all play out in live-action on the big screen.
