It's also worth noting that all of the discs' supplemental content is presented in high definition. If sharing one's faith is a goal, why not embrace the chance to do so? I continually had to stop and wait for Langdon to unravel mysteries I had already solved as exciting as watching someone mull over a clue may seem, I assure you it's not. A large portion of its success as a motion picture hinges on Sir Iak McKellen as Leigh Teabing, a bizarre turn considering that the Lord of the Rings and Gods and Monsters actor doesn't exactly fit the character's outline in the book. Fache says that Sophie has already managed it and that he should have fired her for interfering in his work.
From beginning to end, nothing has really been changed to alter the narrative -- but it's a much more comfortable and logically understandable cut. Just for the record, I'm not judging. This film is incredibly faithful to the book I'm looking at you, Girl With a Pearl Earring!! All I care about going into a movie like 'The Da Vinci Code' is whether it works or not as intended -- meaning, is it a good thriller?

As a content agnostic, I have to say that all of this religious backlash over 'The Da Vinci Code' means nothing to me. Still, I can't deny that I was entertained. Somehow, the added material helps, but in more indirect, discreet ways that won't change one's overall outlook on the picture itself. My friend was so excited throughout the movie, he kept wanting to talk to us about it. If you did enjoy The Da Vinci Code, however, then this beefier, more cohesive version will more than satisfy, along with adding a few extra tastes of the book's essence in the picture.
If you feel threatened by this movie or any other story like this, you have serious problems regarding the foundations in which you believe. Yes, the picture is quite soft at times. No technical specs have been announced at this time, though. A millenarian sect called The Priory of Sion has kept for centuries the secret of that matter. No one is saying that Christianity is wrong, and that this story is right. Bravo Ron Howard, for doing such a good job.

I went to see the movie with my boyfriend, who read the book recently, and some friends one of whom has read the book at least twice, and is so into the story that he has researched the symbols and meanings thoroughly and participates in Da Vinci Code games, forums, etc. Afterwards we see the murdered nun. Fache apologizes for having blindly followed his belief and that there have been at least 4 victims and that Sir Leigh killed Remy himself. As to be expected, unavoidable spoilers follow: Small additions, such as an extension to Langdon and police captain Bezu Fache's Jean Reno conversation leading into the elevator in the Louvre, help make the scenes that follow them make more sense -- though we're still able to grasp a hold of the general idea in the original cut. It allows us to find out considerably more about the shady schemes for Aringarosa and Opus Dei behind the Pope's back.
Essentially, anything that drove a movie goer nuts about the previous cut of The Da Vinci Code will still likely strike them in this Extended Cut, only with some strong additions that help counterbalance the quibbles. Sophie threatens to destroy the painting. The opportunity to be taken through the beauty and the challenges of the locales across Paris, London, Scotland and others was exceptional. For me, Silas Paul Bettany is the strongest character in the film, graphically portrayed as a faithful servant of Opus Dei. Which is why I ultimately decided not to link them. Along with these features, we're also given a Sneak Peek into Angels and Demons -- five minutes of footage, along with a two-minute Trailer for the film.

I greatly enjoyed the First Day on the Set and Magical Places pieces.

There's still a lot missing from the book, e.
Nothing felt missing or incomplete. At the end of the cut the camera lingers on a single picture. Only the appearance of Sir Ian McKellen lightens the mood; his performance brings enthusiasm and exuberance to a film otherwise devoid of anything resembling either one. The book and the movie have provided an opportunity for the faith to renew itself, to debunk the myths and theories which were developed loosely to make the story flow of course , and to generally point the curious to the direction and light the faith wants to show. I am now the proud owner of a 2 Disc copy of Da Vinci from Colombia. That entire sequence, choppy and rather nonsensical before, makes much more sense this time around when Molina begins his ranting and raving.
