The action and suspense was entertaining but it was Hollywood too so be careful what you want to believe. Zero rewatchability or a keeper for a collection.

Fairly good movie. Lots of A-List actors and plot twists I did not expect. I found the theories to be intriguing and some of them really seemed to work better with history and human nature than Biblical canon. Some parts were a little overdone maybe, but still, it was beautifully done and caught my interest. I recommend it to people with an open mind.

I generally liked this movie a lot. Action, suspense and mystery surrounds it all. It gave me a ride of thrills. Although this film is very blasphemous, I prefer to watch it as a fictional story and nothing more but the story is very addictive, it sucks you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Tom Hanks does an excellent job acting in this film and he looks very good too! It is something I'd consider watching again and I'm looking forward to seeing Angels & Demons.

I know this movie is religiously controversial, but I like the story line. I understood that the information/ beliefs being presented didn't align with mine, but movies don't always. I enjoyed the movie for what I believe it is, a story!

I skipped the novel, so the film was new to me and I was intrigued by the story, the setting, the action, etc. Loved it.
