This movie was violent and disturbing; I could not sit through it. Completely inappropriate for tweens and younger teens, and I really wouldn't recommend it even for older teens.

The movie was good but the book was much better. The movie drags on a bit compared to the fast pace the book has. I think they should have stuck to the story the book was trying to convey instead of trying to please the church by cutting out many of the parts about jesus' life and some peoples beleifs on it. You just need to know your kids. There are many violent scences but if you let them read the book then they should be fine because the book was much more graphic then the movie.

I hadn't read the book and saw that the movie only received 2 star review on Common Sense (this website) but when my husband and I saw it, we enjoyed it! We have two boys in their tweens and while there are many movies that they have seen that are rated R (even the matrix), this was far too violent and we definitely will not have them see it. Even the Matrix did not have this much blood!!!

The violence is really disturbing in this film even for adults. It is not suitable for kids. My husband and I thought if you read the book then you will know exactly what to expect...the movie follows the book. Enjoyable but just remember this in not an action film...

If you can't take it that jesus might've been married and had kinds then don't go see a movie about it. and one more thing...... IT"S A D*MN MOVIE... if everyone believed movies then Land Before Time teaches us dinosaurs can sing dance and talk........ get over it. Maybe they could.... nah.

Despite numerous reviews stating movie has too much dialogue, it had just the right amount to make the story understandable. This is NOT an action flick. It's cerebral treasure hunt for the holy grail and as such, it is very well put-together and enjoyable. If you want action+holy grail, see Indiana Jones instead.

Stupid dumb FALSE movie. Its pure cr@p. It says that Jesus was married and had kids!

The Da Vinci Code is the coolest thriller iv'e watched in years. this movie will have you saying "so dark the con of man" after you see it. This film brings out the beginings of a perfect trilogy. Tom Hanks does a great job playing the role of Robert Langdon (Harvard Symbolgist). This Film is a good conspiracy thriller and I see a sequel coming.

This movie is fine for kids to watch if they can handle blood and violence. Violence is the only reason why this movie is rated PG-13. I personally can't stand blood. I had to fast forward through a few parts of the movie. All in all, it's a good movie and it's worth watching. Just be prepared for blood...

i really enjoyed this movie, although i had to skip over a lot of scenes in which the guy is torturing himself. parents should know that there is a LOT of violence, (guns, knifes, and physical torture.) no language that i noticed, no sex, although there is some nudity. (a naked dead body, and a man who is naked while praying to god, don't worry; you only see from the torso up!) overall this is a good movie, if not a tad long, but only for older tweens and up.

It was really good. Violent (understatement) but good. It seriously confused most of my friends, though, and some of my friends got it. It was reallly long, though- it's, like, two and a half hours, and it feels like it. I think that the controversial issues are pointless- If it offends your religion, then why watch it in the first place? Overall, good for 13+, but extremely violent.

I absolutly LOVED this movie

The Da Vinci Code is a mature movie for adults. I think I got to see this movie because I read the book, but none of my friends saw it, and I couls tell why. There was a lot of sexual behavior, and a lot of strong language (usually in subtitles). This movie was way off and is not appropriate for any kid, unless they are the smarty-pants of the grade or have read the book.

It was a hard to follow movie. Tom Hanks did not do a quality job.

Scary for children under 14! I was soooo scared! Blood all over the place a man ties chains on his body, disgusting and highly graphic!

This is a good movie, but the producers are lucky the MPAA gave them a PG-13 rating. The violence shown in this movie is really gory at some points, mostly when Silas whips himself and wears a barb wire belt around his thighs. Also, many people are shot and hit on the head and violently attacked in many ways. In one scene, you see Silas' naked backside and in another, you see about a one second shot of two people having sex. Also, one man is shown naked when he is dead, but lower extremities are censored buy stratigeically placed lighting. Language wise, there are some uses of the s-word, but nothing any more extreme. All in all, this movie was good, but some people might get bored consdering it it 150 minutes long.

ok...here's the thing: the movie sucks. the book was so much better. tom hanks is a great actor but he didn't seem like robert langdon. langdaon and sophie didn't have any on-screen chemistry like thet did in the book. and..they change sooo much, like the whole ending. it sucks!!

This is a very exciting movie. I read the book and the movie is exactly like the book. Even a lot of the quotes are the same. This movie shows Silas's bare butt for like a full minute. It has lots of violence. Not a whole lot of blood, but it is still there. On a personal note, I think the controversy surrounding this story is ridiculous. It's a FICTION book. This means the story is made-up. Everyone should lighten up.

This is a movie that was not made for children, use your brain befor you take the whole family along. Unless you are ready to answer some questions, wait until junior is more mature to take him. Above all know you own kids, some are more than ready to go see, talk to them about what is in the movie, and explain why you believe what you do. The violence is there but it's easy to see coming. The back story has been changed a bit for the movie, some of the claims have been soften. My suggestion read the book, see the movie, then go out and buy one or more of the guids that have been written to fact cheeck the Da Vinci Code.

It was a so-so film, the book IS better and the film does drag on abit, especially towards the end. I enjoyed it because it was so interesting. Paul Betoney is really good a Silus but Hank fails to show much emotion in his role as Robert. It is quite violent (I had to turn away at the flaggelation part) and there is some sexual content (a brief scene of a sex ritual thing, but its only a quick glimpse and images of prostitues getting in mens cars) and a drug reference (drug addict in park). Good film, but some caution is recommended.

it's good so you can know the truth

This movie adaption is only alright, as it moves at a much slower pace and can drag alon g sometimes, unlike tht book's much better pacing. It feels more like a slow moving (fictional) history lesson or something of the sort, rather than the first-rate thriller it should've been. But for those concerned about the religious controversy, don't worry too much, as Ron Howard decided to take out the questioning of JESUS's divinty, and also made Langdon somewhat spiritual. I consider myself a devout (albeit, young) Catholic, and reading the book changed me in no way, and I think can actually strengthen one's faith (for all you good, Catholic parents worried about the content). But anyways, go read the book, and you'll have a much better time.
