It's a fictional novel... fictional movie... why all the hostility towards it?

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2006)

I read the book when it first came out and could not believe how it captivated me. I am a Christian and understand how religious people could be offended, but in the book, Dan Brown states the facts of the novel on the front page.
Now to the movie...
The novel was adapted seamlessly to a movie, probably because of the very descriptive way Brown writes his novel. I felt like I was literally watching the book. I think those that have not read The Da Vinci Code will also enjoy this movie. Ron Howard did a great job of providing a lot of info from the novel to convey the whole story. Bottom line, this movie will top the box office for a while and will probably grab some awards, too. Not seeing this movie because of strong religious beliefs is ignorant. You can't criticize it until you see it.
