Oh I get it! You don't have the mental capacity to sit there and 'work out' a movie. You like crash, bang, wollop in yer face stuff that leaves nothing to the imagination.

Da Vinci Code was excellent.

I've got to second that...."The Omen" bites big time. Nothing at all like D-Code. Dumb story line - kid's the devil, he's going to kill everyone, not a whole lot to think abouth there.
D-code is a movie that leaves you scratching your head a bit. I guess if I was more ambitious I would even sit down and read the book.......but.....there are more movies to watch.

Da Vinci Code and The Omen are good movies.

I knew from the start that The Omen was not going to be a gore movie (I hate those and find them daft and boring)... It didn't disappoint :)

I thought Da Vinci code the movie was very disappointing. The whole movie was a like a fast-forward if you know what I mean. These movies can never truly depict the original novels.

The original Omen is an all-time classic and one of my favourite films ever. Not seen the new one yet, but I hope it can live upto the original!

I am not going to bother watching the new one. The original was just too good and I don't feel like getting disappointed...

BTW if you want to watch one of the most terrifying horror movie made in the last few years, try looking for "The Descent".

i dont know about you guys...but i grew up watching the movie...and seeing a better version of the original was like a dream come true for me.

its the same for edward scissorhands...alot of people cant stand the movie beacause in their delusional opinion, its over estimated, shallow, and has no point watsoever.

well...to me, its one of the best movies of the 20th century, so is the omen...a classic that will never ever die.

at least...thats what i think.

um Edward Scissorhands is a work of art. People who can't stand it are usually just looking for pop-corn movies and will most probably end up disliking all Tim Burton movies. Tim Burton is a genius and one of the few directors who never disappoints...
