The Da Vinci Code [Blu-ray] [2006] [Region Free]

I've always liked the film. I mean obviously it's a load of old tosh, but one doesn't watch something like this for accurate insights into Christian doctrine or world history! It's just enjoyable nonsense.The added minutes (for there is a not insubstantial 20-25 minutes of them) don't add hugely to the story (unlike the LOTR extended versions, I don't even like to watch the original version anymore) but it's just more of a good thing really.My only gripe is there are no subtitles provided for the extended version on Amazon video, which for the hard of hearing or people who can't have the telly too loud due to sleeping children etc is a bit annoying.

As for watching this when it first came out in the cinema in 2006 i did not get the whole controversy behind the book or the movie and some scenes i was confused about. Now that i recently finished the da vinci code book it was awesome by the way the film would be the same in pace and brilliance. I do love this movie i think tom hanks is such a quality actor to play Robert Langdon but some scenes i was looking forward to like more in the classroom were not there and i was a little disappointed. Anyway the whole adventure chasing through paris i loved and the pace was there can't wait to see angels and demons.

I'm only a very recent convert, not some learned theologian, but even I can see this is just blasphemous drivel, riddled with factual errors so blatant that they have to be intentionally malicious towards the one religion that it seems is institutionally and societally acceptable to mock.Christians are usually far too quick to sit back, forgive and forget, when that is not actually what is taught (repentance is required for forgiveness), so it was refreshing to look back and see the collective backlash from the church to this film at the time of its release.Too bad the views of millions of people are more easily influenced by the dross that comes out of satanic Hollywood than the word of God. The only redeeming feature is Zimmer's epic score.

Why do people by Dvd/Blu-ray of films when they think the film is crap. Just so they can get off on writtenbad reviews. I had seen the film before on dvd, and it was fine, you did have to watch it all, with all the twistsin the story., But I get p***** off with all these people given out loads of bad reviews because when they saw it firstat the cinema, and then buy the film on disc's.

An Amazing tale and the truth is there will be thousands of descendants by now.A couple of historic errors like the Senechaux used to serve the Pope's dinner on a silver tray paraded through Rome and then test the food first.Also Dan missed a few tricks that could have added gravitas to the story. Like Da Vinci painted 2 versions of Madonna and Child. One is in Paris, where they filmed and another is in London, where they also filmed. Mary and baby Jesus or the babies of Jesus and Mary.If you look at The Last Supper properly you will see two figures that look like ladies.A few word plays they could have used. Princess means Sarah and Sophie means Wisdom. Plus Andre Vernet in English Andrew Green is a great friend of mine that I miss at the moment.All Said and done excellent 1 million percent from me.Ant XxxxxPS: AS he linked Jesus to the Royals he could have used the bible itself: King James version of course.

I expect the embarrassingly limited success of the film, such as it was, must stand on a certain contemporary appetite for conspiracy theories. I haven't read the Dan Brown book, but I can only presume that it makes more sense than this confused mess. It feels compressed to the point of meaninglessness. I honestly laughed out loud twice at its badness. There are so many wonderful film talents involved in this movie... I can only presume they wake up in the night sweating with anxiety and regret when they think about their involvement in this project.

Robrrt Langdon finds himself inbolvef in a murder and a mystery involving Opus Dei The Priory of Sion and a secret that could destroy the Catholic Church.This is one of my all time favourite films. The cast is superb and the story contains more twists and turns then you can imagine. Finally the film contains what is in my opinion one of the best soundtracks ever recordedHighly recommended.

I saw The Da Vinci Code several years ago and bought this because my girlfriend wanted to watch it and so I thought I'd buy the extended version. It's about 20 minutes longer and has several scenes cut from the original. Not really essential, they are mainly embellishments which add detail to the characters. The film and the way the story is told is magical. You really feel a sense of energy as the characters go on their 'quest.' Has to be one of my favourite films of all time, the soundtrack is superb, especially the ethereal closing scene with "Chevaliers de Sangreal" playing - gives me the chills.
