I honestly saw nothing against the church, just an alternative to the bible. Nothing really stating that everything is fake, moreso what could be a good possibility (seeing that Dan Brown DOES use alot of historical/archaeological background to prove his points).

...Eh, not exactly a possibility, actually. It's only out of pure coincidence that the landmarks' positions stemming from the book were, at the very least, 95.2% accurate and precise. Saying that it's a possibility brings it closer to saying that "everything is true."

There's no way in this day and age to prove the theory.

A heresy against the Church?
Yes. According to the Pope.

Nothing that hasn't been proven incorrect by expert historians. But an interesting film, nonetheless.

As long as the film makes you think, the theory doesn't have to be true.

Yes. According to the dictionary.

Make you think about what? Whether or not a disproven theory is true or not?

Yes. According to my pastor, who... spoke poorly of the book at church.

Yeah everything with this does have a touchy side of it. I mean, seriously, if you involve religion in any work of fiction, of course people are going to throw up their arms and scream bloody murder over it. So you have to be careful. I mean hell, .hack//SHATTERED's ending with Einsamkeit's death to save all of the souls could have been viewed as a HUGE religious denotation, but only one person raised that question.

Either way, I don't think its a heresy against the church or a fictional masterpiece. If you compare it to the book, it left out a lot and was rushed. And once again, its a religious thing, but what if you applied it to something else? Like say Albert Einstein? Wouldn't people be just as surprised? Sure that's an asinine thing, but you never know. So, while it was just ok as a movie (nothing special) I doubt it will really get too much more plublicity except for its connection to religion.

I am really getting sick of people saying this. Whether or not something is a heresy is not a matter of opinion! It is a heresy by definition. It's like saying, "Well, I don't think the tree is a plant." Whether or not you think it's a heresy, doesn't change the fact that yes, it is a heresy to the Church.

'Heresy' isn't exactly the word. And don't respond by pushing it into our faces because that's just being bull-headed. It's only heresy if it went against God's laws, or if it tarnishes the good name of the Church through secret, forbidden cults. The Priory of Sion isn't really a cult to begin with either. It's more like a small gathering of a mixture between Christian and Hebrew. -doesn't remember where that came from-

In any case, go read the book about the DaVinci Code's honest facts. As Dan Brown had 'promised' readers that no fallacy existed in his published novel, there's a book following after it that points out what's true there and what's not. I forgot what the title was though...

Sorry, wrong use of words, meant to say support, not prove...

It was a good movie and with a lot of references because I didn't know that those kind of religions existed.

Silas has issues. The guy had a ton of scars all over his back.

Silas was the S#*+.....
Nothing like an albino monk going around whacking people. He almost reminded me of the ganados in RE4 when he spoke in the foreign dialect.
