I won't watch it or read it. It's fact plus fiction anyhow, with silly conspiracy theory's. I'v seen enough on Dateline specials to know the basic gist of it.
I'll see it - in theatres. I liked the book, thought it was interesting. I'd like to see how they make it into a film. The cast is great, Howard's always great. Should be a good time at the movies.

I will see it... and eventually, I will read the book as well. I'm very interested in something like this. I believe there is more to the truth than what is in the bible. So, I'm all for it.

I read the book...its really good!
Tom Hanks doesnt really fit the part...but when I heard it was Ron Howard directing, it didnt surprise me that Tom Hanks was in it. He's in virtually every Ron Howard film. Still though...Tom didnt fit the part, to me anyhow. Harrison Ford fit it better...but oh well.
Ill still see the movie..
I agree with you though...there is more to the Bible...and the theory of the DaVinci Code is interesting...how people can knock a theory when they dont even know if their theory is true is beyond me. Im not saying this particular thing is true...but hell, who really knows? Not I. The mention of DaVinci's Last Supper painting was especially interesting though.
Of course thats just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller)

I'll certainly watch it. Not about being open-minded on this one, it's just that I accept this as fiction and will run with it as such. I'll look at the story arc, the plot twists as the character uncovers more of the "mystery" and navigates himself into more impending danger. I'll listen to the music. I'll evaluate the level of acting and the cinematography, pathetic fallacy, etc. I'll even look at some kid playing on the streets of Rome or one of the Bishops in the Vatican and think to myself, "that extra probably did 2 - 3 days of work, a lot of it sitting in a waiting room "preparing" for when they'd be called upon, just to have 1.5 seconds of screen time." That's just how I am...
Besides, after his string of 4 - 5 best actor nominations in as many years, I'll watch just about ANYTHING Tom Hanks does. Especially after he brought The Polar Express to the big screen.

I envsioned Harrison Ford the entire time I read the book - I couldn't help it! The story is a throwback to a form of Indiana Jones style adventure and intrique (without the monkey brains, whips and hair raising, edge of your seat escapades) which made it a very fun read for me.
