What to Know

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. Sep 26, 2017 Full Review Amy Nicholson I.E. Weekly What seems credible on page is ludicrous in action. Rated: D+ May 14, 2009 Full Review Trevor Johnston 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. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site 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. Feb 14, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It is foremost moviegoing entertainment - and only secondarily a condemnation of religious fanaticism.

Hackney G Didn't watch much but poor acting from the beginning and stupidity like that the police would have ALL followed the tracker while leaving a dead body in the Louvre. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review Arthur B too much violence with a flimsy storyline Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Liam D It has an great cast and solid Director in Ron Howard (Grand Theft Auto, Willow) but apart from Tom Hanks (The Man with One Red Shoe, Radio Flyer) and composer Hans Zimmer (The House of the Spirits, Calendar Girl) the plot borders on the ridiculous and everyone is on auto pilot Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review AHMED A If you love controversial movies I recommend you watch this movie immediately It triggered a lot of controversy about the church even though I loved this movie so much it is one of it's kind Thank you director ron Howard and my favourite actor tom Hanks for this masterpiece ❤❤ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Philip O Absolutely loved it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Karl E I would have originally given four stars when I first saw this movie, but I have since read the book. Almost every character was changed and cheapened. Even the dynamics and associations were altered. I wonder, at what point in Ron Howard’s career did he decide to become the Hollywood cliche. For a movie about the sacred feminine, Ron Howard truly diminished the female lead. I don’t think Ron Howard comprehends what he reads, so he leaves it out or changes it to something that is either oversimplified or an action sequence.
