The Da Vinci Code

The Da Vinci Code (film)
The Film

The Da Vinci Code (book)
The Book


It's inevitable that I talk about the Da Vinci Code sooner or later so I thought I'd get it out of the way now... talk about overrated! I'm not saying it's crap or anything, but it definitely aint the bees knees that every housewife and old codger will tell you it is.

Soon the film will be out and we will be drowning under a whole new tide of Da Vinci Code mania. No doubt the book will be reissued with a new cover that's more in line with the film, and no doubt it will shoot to the Number 1 slot in the Top 10 of Bestsellers again.

Will the film live up to the book? I'd say it's highly likely... it's almost as if the book was written to be filmed. Anyone who's read it will only need to remember the book's terrible ending to think how 'film-like' it is.

I'll wait for it to come out on video. Maybe even until it's a Weekly.

Yeah that Brown guy can't write. But he's so super rich.
I wish I could make that much money by "gunning a car".

But it's a pretty addictive and quick paced read.

Can't wait to see the movie, and laugh at every scene haha.

the da vinci code is a typical best seller type of book (simple language, easy to follow storyline etc) and all bestsellers become overrated. it's as if it is inevitable.

I saw the new book covers and they look like the movie poster but have the words - Now A Major Motion Picture! And there is also going to be a Da Vinci Code game for the XBox and possibly every other machine.
They are attacking from all angles!
After reading the book, I wondered what all the hype was about, I had read Deception Point and Digital Fortress before it and all of the books basically have the same storyline, just in different situations - exactly what a BLOCKBUSTER movie is. Big problem happens, hero comes to save the day, a bit of action and adventure, find a girl/guy to flirt with along the way and fix everything at the end.
Bleh, thats all.
