Howie101 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Who else can't wait to see this movie? Comes out tomorrow, Friday the 18th where I live Looks great and is based on one of my favorite books. Obviously it will be dramatisized due to Hollywood. Facts will misconstrued and what not. But I still hope I enjoy it. Lock if needed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanosauromo Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 A friend of mine whose brother works at a movie theater got to see it early. He says that it sucked and a lot of stuff was left out. I'm going to see it anyway. You only have to type four extra keys for me to not think "ur" an idiot.solardeathray.teensupergenius.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knives669 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I'm going to see it tomorrow. I hope it's good. And of course, alot of stuff will be left out. Have you seen how long the book is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadd Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Tom Hanks is a good actor. The worst scripts can turn out great with the right actors and actress. I'm going to see it! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait! :P His name is Ghost?...that is awesome!! I'm fairly certain he means Ghost..as in GhostRanger...as in me. :P To quote what I said about it on the Dan Brown thread: Well I just got back from seeing The Da Vinci code... pretty decent movie. A little too long for my taste (some parts could have been shortened) and not nearly as controversial as I thought it would be. Still controversial just by the nature of the plot, but not as bad as it could have been. I'd definitely recommend this one, but only when you're wide awake...unlike me.

How2PK Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 In Cannes they couldn't hold their laughing during the movie, and RT indeed says it's bad. I don't expect much from it, but of course I'll see it and judge for myself. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

Guest GhostRanger Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I wouldn't say the movie was bad, it just didn't meet my expectations. Bad is kind of pushing it I think. If you haven't read the book or didn't like it... you probably won't enjoy the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Saw it yesterday, and it was how I expected: poor. I think Hanks does a good job as an actor, and the female lead (I forget her name >.<) is an extremely good actor in the film, and some of the cinematography from Ron Howard is nice to see. However, they are just let down by the story's plot, or rather lack of a plot, and its content. I mean, it's pretty abysmal stuff. It really is airport trash novel material. Lacking a compelling protagonist, an enveloping story, amongst others. And I'm looking past all the contoversy, I'm trying to see the film for what it is; fiction. But it just fails, and I have to say, fails pretty miserably. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's full of the type of an action a movie needs. Nothing about The DaVinci Code strikes me as "should be a movie." I did enjoy watching it though. Just not as fantastics as I'd hoped...

Yea, that story was really exciting! But then again, I really havent read the Davinci code before I watched the movie so I cant really say the movie was bad. Nevertheless, the story was still very interesting! :) The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.

I haven't to be fair, but after the DaVinci Code, I'm not really compelled to read more Dan Brown. I agree with your comment on how there's no outstanding movie quality in DVC, too. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knives669 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I saw it last night. If you've read the book, you're fine. If you haven't, you'll be completely lost. It's very hard to follow, and the movie doesn't even scratch the surface of the stuff they get into in the book. Tom Hanks gave a great performance as expected, however, everything else was pretty dreary. Whoever played Silas the monk though, was energetic and gave a good performance as well. I also thought that some of the French accents would be a little hard to follow for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faux Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 The critics made it out to be worse than it is. It is their job to criticize ya know :P Personally, I found it entertaining and was ok since I read the book. I was able to follow the plot. My gf who went with me couldn't really grasp the plot since she has no idea what the book is about. And truth be told, it was kind of a bit rushed. I expected it to be like that as there was just too much in the book to put it in a 2 1/2 hour movie so I wasn't disappointed. Gonna explain the bits and pieces of it to her later tonight I guess. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
