I thought the book flowed better, personally, but the movie was OK. Being a theology major, it was pretty easy to poke holes in the history, but then, this IS Hollywood. I was annoyed excessively by the hype myself. Actually, a friend of mine worked at a theatre where religious groups protested the film outside. She was actually going to offer them free tickets.

Fanfiction.net even has a Bible section. Still, I love the reference to there being "shippers". I'm a genuine freak in that I've neither read the book or seen the movie They just never caught my interest. I did watch a documentary on the historical credibility (or lack thereof) of the "Priory of Sion", though. Anyway, am I the only one who was annoyed to death by the excessive hype surrounding both, at the time? There actually is Bible fanfiction on the net, strangely enough.

I’m a genuine freak in that I’ve neither read the book or seen the movie They just never caught my interest. I did watch a documentary on the historical credibility (or lack thereof) of the “Priory of Sion”, though.

In particular it gives some believable motives to Judas for what he did while at the same time avoids trying to make him all that sympathetic.

I *did* read Demons and Angels, which was a really interesting story but horribly written. So if DVC is anything like that, I don't think you missed anything by just catching the film :) Good review :) I never read the Da Vinci Code either.
