The Ninth Gate is a really good movie.

Werid sex scene at the end, but still a great one.

5/21/2006 1:56:36 PM

It's really weird.

Partially because she's married to the awesome molester director.

Partially because she has gigantic eyebrows.

5/21/2006 2:00:00 PM

I have a ? didn't they say that she was the last heir at the beginning of the movie bc I could not understand the big revelation at the end. IMO it sucked a fat one, and I didn't read the book.

5/21/2006 2:08:01 PM

No, they didn't say that.

It was fucking obvious, but they didn't say that.

Is that English?

5/21/2006 2:20:55 PM

It wasn't bad.

It was entertaining.

It isn't worth any controversy.

Yeah, that easily makes it the best selling movie of the year so far

5/21/2006 2:57:45 PM

the knights templar documentary is on right now on the history channel. it's about halfway through. i'm guessing the free masons doc will be on next too.

5/21/2006 3:32:32 PM

that shit is going to be on ALL week, just like last week.

5/21/2006 3:38:39 PM

you can't have a car chase scene with opera music playing in the background

i think they tried too hard to make the movie dramatic...it wasn't that it was so dramatic that it became silly...it just became drawn out

everyone who turned out to be bad...you could tell within 5 seconds of meeting their character that they were bad

the clues and history "lessons" seemed a bit rushed

and the blacklight secret messages in the louvre were kind of silly

between this and national treasure...national treasure was more fun

5/21/2006 5:31:29 PM

national treasure was much better, it had better puzzles to solve and more mystery to it. which is sad

b/c it was condensed from a book they had to eliminate alot of the back ground and such...

5/21/2006 7:46:09 PM

i'm clearly not nearly as refined as most of the movie goers on this board :x


i thought it was rather entertaining, and Tom Hanks did a decent job.


I'd go see it again if i found someone that wanted me to go with them. i suppose im just too easy to please.

5/21/2006 10:35:57 PM

I liked the book

and I liked the movie

:gasp: go figure!

5/21/2006 11:57:05 PM

just got back

i thoroughly enjoyed it

and there aren't a whole lot of movies I enjoy that actually make me think.

5/22/2006 12:53:29 AM

***STUPID POINT OF VIEW SPOILER BELOW***












did anyone else feel like tom hanks' character was disappointed that he wasn't going to make jesus babies with the holy grail when they're on the bridge at the end and she totally blows him off to go talk to her grandmother about god and stuff?

5/22/2006 1:11:38 AM

how do you say cock block in Latin?

5/22/2006 1:16:11 AM

^^Just got back tonight from seeing it and thought the same damn thing.

She was hot. Id hit it.

5/22/2006 1:36:01 AM

She was very hot

I really liked the movie, it made me think the entire time

Not worth any controversy

5/22/2006 7:48:09 AM

hah, I was hanging out by a movie theater yesterday and a bible thumper came up to me with some "supplemental info" booklets about the Da Vinci Code. I wasn't even going to see the movie (i haven't, either)

I decided to mess w/him a little and said that I hadn't seen the movie yet, but had read the book. I kept saying stuff like "I learned a lot of stuff I didn't know before" and "I liked the book because it was filled with facts, which made it interesting".

He was getting pretty flustered.

they got 12 bucks from me

and i feel it was well spent

5/22/2006 11:33:20 AM

X-Men 3 will gross 90+ million domestically this weekend, and will make DaVinci Code the #3 largest worldwide opening...

5/22/2006 11:44:23 AM

i will not see X-Men

however, I probably will see DaVinci Code again

5/22/2006 12:49:14 PM

is x-3 rolliing out internationally like dvc did?

5/22/2006 1:04:31 PM

^^ seriously?


have you read the book?


you know in the book Sophie and Robert made plans for a little sexcation in Paris.

5/22/2006 2:12:11 PM

i don't read

and yes I'm serious

I'd rather see a movie that makes me think and is based on Biblical stuff than a movie that makes me bored and is based on a comic book

5/22/2006 4:29:42 PM

"based on Biblical stuff"

5/22/2006 4:38:46 PM

i want to say...but...but..but..but....


but its useless for someone who "doesn't read"

5/22/2006 5:23:48 PM

i'm going friday

5/22/2006 5:24:59 PM

I was lazy this past weekend and am too busy throughout the week to see Da Vinci code, so I'm really looking forward to making this upcoming weekend a movie-filled experience - The Da Vinci Code, X3, Over the Hedge and probably Art School Confidential.

Should be fun

5/22/2006 5:38:58 PM

I read the book and saw the movie.
I think the movie was well done, but then again i went in thinking it wasn't going to be as good as the book.

5/22/2006 6:32:05 PM

No, Tom Hanks was fine. He wasn't the writer, he isn't really at fault.

5/22/2006 6:49:57 PM

haha

i like how they use the scene where tom hanks finds the tracking device in his coat as a discovery moment in one of the commercials

5/22/2006 10:05:56 PM

This movie sucked a fuck

5/22/2006 10:58:05 PM

^^that was the stupidest part, how the hell could he have jumped, landed (he would have broken his ankles), and ran with no one seeing him, they should have known immediately he was still in the bathroom

5/22/2006 11:04:33 PM

he couldn't

but he could have jumped into the truck inwhich they threw the soap with the tracking device...

5/22/2006 11:09:15 PM

Don’t believe the hype – this is a great movie.

The actors are great, the visuals are awesome, the story (which I’d already read) is good, and (if jesus had actually existed in the first place) is very convincing.

In fact, the horrible reviews of this film make me question how much more power the church has over the media than we realize.

Also, people are sheep and will do anything to be trendy, even if it means bashing a movie that was great by pointing out its flaws (which are minor) and not mentioning all of the great parts.


Yes, there is some overacting. Yes, there are some plot points that get hammered into you so that you feel like they're talking down to you.

This whole anti-christian rap is ridiculous, however. This story implies that the catholic church holds a secret about christianity, not that christianity is wrong. It implies that the vatican is a secretive, powerful entity with many tangled webs within. Wow, how groundbreaking. The only thing it attacks within christianity is the idea that jesus was married, but that IN NO WAY questions anything else about it. Jesus' divinity is questioned, but again, so what? It is very reverent in its description of jesus.

Oh, and *SPOILER*














Langdon tells sophie at the end that if she is a descendent of jesus, she has a decision - to protect faith or to destroy it. The question as to whether or not she should take down the church is left open ended.

5/22/2006 11:53:24 PM

maybe its just late and i'm tired, but what exactly would being a decendant of mary magdelene prove? its not like there was any dna evidence to say that jesus was definitely her husband, or that he even fathered her child, just some old records.

5/22/2006 11:59:34 PM

the movie's weak

it's not horrible, it's not even bad

it's just weak

5/23/2006 12:11:25 AM

what a watered down translation from the book. i was very dissappointed.

5/23/2006 1:23:55 AM

Stop trolling entertainment, DirtyGreek.

5/23/2006 2:11:10 AM

How is it trolling to post my opinion? I'm sorry if you disagree with me.

Also it's not some secret who I am. I've not tried to hide it.

5/23/2006 7:27:32 AM

I was very disappointed in this movie, the chemestry between the 2 main characters that was in the book was not there, among other things. It was watered down and to tell you the truth, I don't see what the fuss about Tom Hanks is about, I think he sucked at his part in the movie. Casting was not as good as it should have been. This is my opinion however, I wish I did not spend my money on this movie, may be because I read the book and expected better acting but I was yawning about half way through it.

Oh and that added walking on water part at the end was lame.
