Critics Consensus

What makes Dan Brown's novel a best seller is evidently not present in this dull and bloated movie adaptation of The Da Vinci Code.

Victoria Segal

New Statesman

By the end, the film degenerates into wishy-washy relativism of the school that says "the only thing that matters is what you believe", a real cop-out after the hectic Grail quest preceding it.

I.E. Weekly

What seems credible on page is ludicrous in action.

Rated: D+

Time Out

Completing the trail of cryptic clues simply becomes an end in and of itself -- think Sudoku: The Movie -- with little in the way of whimsy, star chemistry or excitement to enliven the dour plod.

Deep Focus Review

The filmmakers were so concerned about doing justice to the book’s ideas that they forgot there’s an audience to entertain.

Rated: 2/4

The Da Vinci Code jumps from remarkable location to remarkable location without generating memorable images or dramatic moments in a single one of them. It all becomes a blur.

It is foremost moviegoing entertainment - and only secondarily a condemnation of religious fanaticism.

Rated: 7/10

Sta schifezza non è degna di essere vista. È stato fatto per prendere un giro una religione, ci riesce? Nemmeno quello

The Da Vinci Code presents a bold and controversial story rooted in religious conspiracy, sparking debate while delivering a gripping mystery with solid pacing and visuals. Though some scenes lack urgency and logical consistency, the film remains compelling through its unpredictable plot and atmospheric tension. It's an intriguing watch for mystery-thriller fans open to layered storytelling. Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com) and (English version : uwiepuspita.com)
