For a prime example read the book 'Hannibal' and then watch the film. Its almost like two different stories![]()

It is not always bad. Sometimes there are good movies, even if they are different from the book. I didn't like "Da Vinci code" but the idea has potential, so the movie may be actually better than the book.![]()

True, but we dont know until we watch it. Plus, everybody has different views on books and movies.It is not always bad. Sometimes there are good movies, even if they are different from the book.

The "Lord of the rings" trilogy were good films based on very good books.
I hope they make "A Hobbit" film, I would definetely watch that. They should stop making bad remakes.Originally Posted by Barbarossa
did anybody else think that deception point was so much better?
i really didn't like the way that the da vinci code had so much height, and then the end resolve really wasn't such a big deal (or at least it seemed that way for me)
I read Angels & Demons last week and couldn't put it down; it's definitely one of the best books I've read.
Having borrowed The Da Vinci Code from my son, I'm about 200 pages in and really enjoying it.
Jean Reno (someone I've enjoyed watching since Leon) will be absolutely perfect as Fache and although I'm no great fan of Hanks, I think he'll do a good job as Langdon.
Although my bookcase is filled mainly with Stephen King, James Herbert, John Wyndham and Frederick Forsyth, I feel a new author bargeing his way onto its shelves.
No, I thought both Deception Point and Digital Fortress were terrible! It's a shame, because I really enjoyed Da Vinci Code and Angels and DemonsOriginally Posted by oceansgurlie

I thought the political intrigue in both was great, I do love these convoluted governmental conspiracies - which may explain why I keep rewatching Prison Break - but I digress.Originally Posted by Barbarossa
Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code were eminently similar, as was Deception Point and Digital Fortress, depending on which genre you prefer I suspect you'll find yourself leaning toward one or t'other of the pairs of books. Political intrigue Vs Religious Dogma.
I didn't think the books were that deep but immensely enjoyed the story-telling and the subtle nuance he included in all four books. I read the religion based ones before the more political oriented books and after I'd read them all, I realised that I actually enjoyed reading the political ones more.
There is a dvdrip of the da vinci code on the torrent sites called origins.of.the.da.vinci.code.2005.ntsc.dvdr-jei, do NOT download it cos it's a very boring documentary.![]()
