I still think that Dan Brown is one of the most overrated authors of this decade.

its got ewan in it and he's a hottie....but i can basically figure out the plot from the previews unless there is so super non-cliche twist im missing....but i don't think the author of these books is good enough for that. My friend described the Divinci Code is one of the most pretentious things she's ever read...and she reads alot....

lol! Yea I read both, Dan Brown seesm like he's great at weaving a story (although impossibly complex, still entertaining if you throw reality out the window), but he should really have had a ghostwriter or collaborated with someone. His writing is pretty terrible. Sentence structure, word choice, vocabulary - at parts it sounded like I was reading a story a high school kid wrote. If he used the word conflagration on more time I was going to puke.

Watched it today.

The movie is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than the da vinci's code. It looked like it wasnt a disorder of ideas and the movie was well related, it wasnt plain and simple unlike the "first" movie.

There were a couple of parts that i disagreed, cuz i read the book, but meh they werent that relevant at the end.

In general, good movie and i didnt feel dissapointed like i did when i read and then watched the da vinci's code.

I just returned from movie theatre. I was disappointed since I really liked the book a lot. Movie was good as a movie but obviously it can't be compared to book.

IMO they changed too much things. For example:

I agree that it would be more entertaining if you haven't read the book. It's enertaning even though.

Didn't like it. Only thing I enjoyed was the annihilation in the end.

Soundtrack was way to intense for the scenes.

i enjoyed it, even after reading the book.. if the director could make a 12h+ movie then you would probably get what you want, but shrinking it all on a 3h- film would be very hard. of course some parts that seemed to take forever in the book would be faster in the film, but it was all there. good movie. and tom hanks ftw
