Can you imagine all the panties in bundles if this movie portayed Mohammad in anything but a divine manner? I'm not just talking about those whacky muslims either.

I hear Tom Hank's mullet is to blame for the fiasko

Everyone knows that the
Da Vinci Code is really a comedy, except for Dan Brown, Ron Howard, and Tom Hanks.
When the most dramatic scene of the movie occurred in Cannes, the critics started laughing...
Some people take Jesus seriously.
Other people take the Hollyweird trio seriously -- Ron Howard, Tom Hanks, and Dan Brown... Maybe there is something in that Bevery Hills smog that we don't know about that gives these folks incredible visions of what reality really is...
Visit Hollyweird today...

It's telling that they had to hedge their bets by casting a "box office draw"..Tom "Bosom Buddies"Hanks.

The review at Fox news was not bad for it.

I seldom agree with the critics on a movie. I'll wait until the movie is released to the public before I decide if I'll watch it or not.

It appears that the producers of the movie got a bit too dismissive of the strong negative Christian reaction to the movie, especially with Sony Pictures' refusal to run a disclaimer about the movie being a work of fiction.

I will probably catch it on cable when it comes around. It looks like an imitation "Indiana Jones" to me.

It sounds like movie-goers are going to find that the film insults them more than it insults Christians and Christianity. Suckers.

Most movie reviews are often subject to the critics expectations going in.
I remember when the original Blues Brothers movie came out, it got terrible reviews, I went to see it and I enjoyed it.
In contrast, the Blair Witch Project got rave reviews and it sucked so bad I wanted to sue somebody.

Well let's see what the weekend box office comes out to. I'm predicting 50 or 60 million.

The Fox critic Roger Friedman is anti-Catholic and was one of the designated hitmen on Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ."
