Disgraceful movie, but the book is brilliant.
I think that was the general consensus to everyone who read the book and saw the film. Apparently if you haven't read the book, then the movie was good.
Looking forward to the prequel.
Angels and Demons.
Angels and Demons.
and a third Robert Langdon book is coming out this year, The Solomon Key
Shit book, shit movie.
How strange how opinions differ, I thought the book was shite, deteriorated after the first 100 pages but the film was surprisingly good.
The book was a reasonable trash thriller but I have avoided the film.
brilliant book, terrible movie. i didn't even bother watching it till the end.
do you know when exactly?

Agreed, the book was pooh and the only reason I saw the movie was because my mummy wanted to see it. So I took her to the flicks for a birthday present. (and she thought it shit also)
Ah but the movie had Audrey Tatou in it. Yum.
i liked the film, havent read the book
Same though I saw the movie it was horrible
Pointless, idiotic drivel which failed to maintain my interest
I thought the movie was rubbish and the book was OK.
I liked the book, movie was ok, bit of a disappointment.
However, I would smash the bird in it.

I've read all the Dan Brown books, They're very derivative and I can understand why there is such a broad spread of reactions in the thread. Good beach holiday fodder, though and I'll probably read Angels and Demons again (by far the best, hope they make a better film version than Da Vinci Code), when I'm on holiday week after next.
I liked both
Angels and Demons is brilliant. Da Vinci Code is average. The rest are cringeworthy
I'm assuming you read Angels & Demons before Da Vinci Code like I did. Because the Da Vinci Code seemed more or less like a xerox copy of Angels & Demons with different character names and places.
Yes. Reasonably entertaining and the silliness was sufficiently in line with the plot as to allow the necessary suspension of disbelief. I've read worse.
How about Digital Fortress?
This seems to be the lowest profile of the lots.

Brilliant is a bit OTT. His best maybe.
Digital Fortress was so bad that it was almost funny.
Almost.
In my humble opinion a better book than The Da Vinci Code which was a good book but a shit film, maybe this will be a shit film as well...
...I wasn't very impressed with that one......
Why don't you read another book? May I recommend something by John Case....
i thought it was better than reasonable to be fair
He knelt on the floor to examine the ancient symbols of Potomac."Dear Lord", thought he, "The world will end if I don't run with the little pyramid and solve the multiple riddles, including why I have to solve it in the first place!".He glanced upon Donna, took in her regal, noble features and thought how her life had been one sad story.Little did he know, of the secrets she had hidden from him!
feck off.
feck off.
No. Read the Da Vinci Code first. Then A&D and then the remaining two
Yes, well, it was good. Digital Fortress is the most humongous pile of rubbish I've read
OK, one in particular?
That's how it was for me, I haven't read the book but have seen the film. I must say I enjoyed it.
It was so utterly pointless
I wasn't interested in how it turned out, or what would happen next, as after a certain time, I failed to think of a reason why I would give a shit. It just boiled down to a bunch of nutters running about after each other

same here, I haven't read it either, but I liked the movie. I think generally, people that have read the book think the movies shit but those who haven't like it. I guess once I read the book, I'll think the movie is shit too then.
