This is in cinemas now here in the UK and I've seen a few people on my Facebook mention that it was crap.

The soundtrack, IMO, works in the movie. The final set piece with Zimmer's score was great. He made that scene great. At least I liked it, whatever, screw me 

[eddyxx]

Is this a sequel to The Da Vinci Code?

It is a sequel to The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons. You don't need to know anything about those to watch this one, tho.

There's a nice (if lazy) take on Chevaliers De Sangreal with some electronics that works. The rest is... unpleasant to listen to. Very strange (and lazy) reprises of Science and Religion from A&D too.

 

Zimmer has said the key word from Howard was 'disorientating' and that's certainly what he gave him. I'm sure it fits the film but it's really not fun at all. I'll stick with the first two.

I heard Science and Religion is used as the love theme

I'm reading the book ahead of the film's domestic release, and I can't say I'm surprised that the reviews haven't been kind. Felicity Jones's character reminds me of the description of Rachel in the "Michael Bay's Dark Knight" script that made the Internet rounds in 2008 (She's the hottest woman in the world, but she also wears glasses because she's the smartest woman in the world!) and I cannot read any of Ben Foster's character's dialogue without instantly thinking of Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor. 

 

That said, I'll take a hot mess over the dreary self-seriousness of Angels & Demons.

I'm kinda shocked nobody has created a highlight reel on YouTube of all the nutty characters Ben Foster has played throughout his career. And to think he got his big break on a Disney Channel show when he was a teen lmao.

This is a very hot, hilarious at points, mess. And it is great to watch unfold. I was entertained the whole time.

Thoughts on this?

Damn this was rubbish. Angels and demons was bad but comedy gold to laugh at... This is just bad.

I might double-dip...

 

Just pre-ordered the Raimi Spider-Man movies from Zavvi.

I actually didn't own Da Vinci Code so it was the perfect opportunity. Angels & Demons also has a new steelbook but since I already own the digibook I didn't bought it again.

 

I wish those steels were released here. I still don't own the Raimi SM trilogy and it would be perfect to get them in those editions. The steels are beautiful.

The books are complete hokum but clearly there is an audience since there are four books and three films. I wonder if The Lost Symbol will be adapted since it was in development before they opted to do Inferno, it's more American centric compared to the other three dealing with Freemasons, Dan Brown has another Langdon book coming next year so I suspect if this is successful, they'll adapt that instead.

The Lost Symbol was the worst received book of the four and that is why Sony never moved forward with it. Inferno got a better reception so they went with that instead.

Is there any big changes in the film from the book? I've heard that the film ending is slightly different from the book
