I'm going to apologize if I might offend people here, so please, sorry in advance.
Some people don't want to watch the movie because they feel that their faith will be shaken. READ: If you really have faith in God, no matter what everyone says, your faith will not change.
That's what I sincerely believe on.
And watching it does not make you a heathen. Believing in it is another different matter.

I sincerely agree to this statement. The Da Vinci Code wasn't intentionally created to destroy the Christians' faith towards their religion. Take note that it is only fictional; meaning its purpose is for entertainment.
Other than that, I don't think the movie will cause harm to the Chirstians' faith.
It's the people's choice if they want to believe it or not. Period.

You're right. Here in the Philippines, the Da Vinci Code is shown only for adults maybe because younger audience may take it more seriously and they may question their faith. But really, like what Ralea said, if your faith is strong and you deeply believe in God and the Bible, this movie should not really affect you.

Yawn... I was in the middle of reading chapter 16 of teh book.... 0.o
But anyway... I don't think DVC(Da Vinci Code) will or can affect a person directly... Mainly because it's FICTIONAL, as in the only thing true about this book are the places and the organizations as well as the paintings, but most of the stuff in the book and in the movie are just plain fiction.
I think only those who think that the movie/book can be harmful to everyone can be quite affected by this... Although they might be blinded by the fact that this is pure fiction made by a author who is good at making thrillers...
But as some of you guys stated, it's up to the viewer to decide if the movie/book is good or bad... I doubt that many people will be affected by what the movie has to offer... ^_^

I agree in the Philippines standpoint.
In Manila the movie is banned there!
Though, I like Angels and Demons and Gabriel Knight series more than Da Vinci Code.

I just saw it yesterday (here in Germany) and I don't think, that it shows the religion and the bible in a bad way.
Dan Brown had only some theories which he wrote down. Some are quite possible, and some not! That's all!
I'm not that close to religion and I don't even know if I believe in Jesus Christus as the son of God but I believe that there were a joung guy who did good things and gave people something to believe! The question if he had a wife and a child shouldn't change the facts he did or the faith in him!
So this book/movie is only an interesting theory in my opinion and if you believe or not or if it's really(!) important to you and your faith that Christus was a single is up to yourself.
