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 09/26/2017
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. Go to Full Review

What seems credible on page is ludicrous in action. Go to Full Review
Trevor Johnston Time Out 06/24/2006
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. Go to Full Review

The filmmakers were so concerned about doing justice to the book’s ideas that they forgot there’s an audience to entertain. Go to Full Review
David Walsh World Socialist Web Site 02/14/2021
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. Go to Full Review

It is foremost moviegoing entertainment - and only secondarily a condemnation of religious fanaticism. Go to Full Review

Jacqueline R @Ovate1019 1h Nerves of steel to release this bomb on the same day as Over the Hedge See more Christian R @RT90248046 5h 6.4/10 Not bad, but definitely ludicrous. Basically, Indiana Jones without the pulpy adventure action and 25 minutes too long. Tom Hanks does a good job, as well as Ian, Alfred and Paul. See more Matthew D @OceanSage 6d Ron Howard thrills with this religious mystery! Fast paced adventure with violent action and even some thoughtful puzzle solving, The Da Vinci Code adapts Dan Brown's novel to the last word. Faithful in its adaptation, while Howard makes sure to take the questionable story with a serious tone. I found it helps the vibe of The Da Vinci Code as the material is well researched, but a stretch to believe, Howard instead focused on the journey as an exhilarating chase. It's really a quest for The Holy Grail. Darkened atmosphere ripe with murder and suspense, you never know what will happen next in The Da Vinci Code. Excellent performances from the entire elevate the flawed premise to a new level of entertaining. Tom Hanks as the symbolism professor Dr. Robert Langdon is very fun. Hanks makes you believe even the most ridiculous clues and ideas. Audrey Tautou is delightful as the mysterious Sophie Neveu. She exudes charm and intrigue. See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 Jul 20 It’s a very silly story but I think it’s well told. Kept me entertained throughout. Ian McKellen was excellent. Watched on Amazon Prime . See more mi M @millimee Jul 17 This movie opens up such false ideals that dont even exist within the Christian community. In fact it shows how those who are of the occult have something to do with what is supposedly being true. Nothing could be farther than the truth. NO facts at all back up what is being portrayed or shown by Christians, or historians. Its all quite disgustingly subjective. Within the movie there is a group that was shown under the direction of something called a pentagram. Do know, that this is a warning to anyone who is prone to have problems without knowing why at times. DO not support or watch this movie if you don't have to. Its so misleading, offensive and doesn't speak well of who Jesus Christ is at all. the images shown are not of Jesus at all at times and are in fact explicitly evil. Do know, that Jesus was not a man who couldnt overcome being by himself so that he had to be a woman in an intimate way . Too much inherently evil / misleading information depicted in this movie.
