Hopefully the movie will be just as good or even better then the book. However, in most cases this does not happen.

I'm so looking forward to this movie!

Isn't Ron Howard directing?

Loved the book. Have read it twice.

I guess this means I'm going to have to find time to read the book.....

if I didn't read the book yet i'd probably wait and see the movie first. I've read the book. I doubt they can include everything in the movie.

I haven't read the book, could somebody give me what the heck all this DaVinci code stuff is in a nutshell?

Love watching Ron Howard flicks. Not only are they good movies, you get to look forward to a Clint Howard sighting.

Watched Cinderella Man last week, and there Clint was, as a referee.

Here's the link to amazon....and I'll bet there are thousands of links if you goolge "the da vinci code" or "dan brown."

Think early Ludlum. Or Clancy. International thriller.

It will be #1 opening weekend. It will ruffle some feathers. It will then be swept aside by Superman and all the other big budget movies like Hoot.

Well, don't start until you have PLENTY of time . . . once you turn the first page, you'll be hooked. (In a good way!)

Enjoyed the book a LOT.

Hope the movie does it justice.

I don't see how the movie could possibly be as good as the book, but it should be an entertaining and good movie. Personally, I thought they should have gone with an actors who weren't well known, though Tom Hanks was a good choice for this character. Harrison Ford would have been good too

I thought Angles and Demons was so much better. Maybe all the hype of DaVinci got ot me.

Angels and Demons was an excellent book, but I think they're about equal. I like the controversy and story line of D.C.

If Ron Howard is directing, I might take a pass and read the book (when it comes out in paperback). Ron can take any good, multi-faceted story, and turn it into formula.

Aren't you a little hard on Opie?
