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.

Lukas S

I came into this movie as a fan of the book, the movie in my opinion was a disappointment and the book was much better. If you go into this film without having read the book then this movie could be an enjoyment to you, but if you have read the book and loved it then this film will disappoint as it doesn't do the book any justice and they leave a lot out. Kudos to Director Ron Howard, Tom Hanks and the rest of the actors and crew that was involved, they tried.

Flawed but a very interesting concept to the Da Vinci code.

This movie was quite true to its source material. It followed Dan Browns book quite nicely, until taking a huge steaming pile on the ending.

The Da Vinci Code can't claim the status of masterpiece, which it is not. Acting is not above average, filming is just not bad. However the plot is what saves the movie, together with the immense work done on location. The whole film works a bit like an odyssey, it manages to be gripping, Zimmer's music decisively a good help. Even though it is not a masterpiece, unjustified roasting critics and silly protesters were of a great help to make it a blockbuster. The trick worked fantastically well, well beyond expectations.

Awful movie, uninteresting and too long.

Es un misterio con una conclusión emocionante, la intriga de saber más queda latente. A pesar de tener algunos errores continuidad y desenlaces algo débiles, la trama es un acertijo que se descifra perfectamente en cada revelación de la historia.

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.

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.
