Amazing to see a movie about a drunken sot!

The Priory of Sion was proven to be a hoax by a con man. Et in Arcadia ego and the "Arcadian Shepherds" by Poussin theory is total B.S. This whole stupid tinfoil conspiracy is so old...
But this is the sort of things that Libs and conspiracy nuts lap up...

Best thing to do to this POS movie is just ignore it.
Seems its doing a pretty decent job of committing Hari kari already, without anyone even striking a blow against it yet :)
Hope Ron Howard is enjoying his 30 pieces of gold.
After selling his soul to the devil, he at least should enjoy what the devil paid him.

The book is a work of fiction. The arthur himself says as much. Believing it is true is like beliving that National Treasure is real.

The story is fiction, but Dan Brown has been extremely outspoken in claiming that this story is based on factual history - and that's a big problem.

You must have missed the part at the front of the book that Brown calls "Facts:"

Well, someone should tell the reviewer that was on Fox this morning, because he went on and on about the historical accuracy. Steve Doucie and Brian Kilmeade tried to call him on it, but he kept insisting it had been well researched.
Did the reviewer not know it was a fictional movie? Or was he ignorant of history and duped by the promos and Dan Brown? At any rate, it isn't simply simpletons who think it isn't fiction.

We'll have to wait and see how well it does. The reviews, particularly from the New York Times, have not been that good. From what I've read, Howard soft-pedals some of the more outrageous assertions made in the book.
But still, the central aim of the book, and therefore the film if it's in any way faithful to the book, is to debunk Christ's divinity, which, naturally, Christian churches must contest strenuously. As C.S. Lewis put it in Mere Christianity, a man who said the kind of things Jesus Christ said, and who was not divine, would "either be a lunatic -- on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg -- or else he would be the Devil of Hell."

A novel claiming large portions of its content are true - which are not. You do see the difference in a novel that does claim up front "Fact:"... and one which does not, I'm sure.
