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.

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.

What seems credible on page is ludicrous in action.

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.

2/4

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

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.

7/10

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

The Da Vinci Code is a rare movie that manages to make secret societies, hidden bloodlines and a body on the Louvre floor feel dull.

A classic masterpiece. I came across the movie as a child, which brought out the curiosity to learn and know history. Unfortunately, i couldn't pursue that one yet whenever i rewatch this that kindle moment of learning and understanding the history get through me. And of course it's a fictional one yet how much does this have impact on you describe the rest.

It's not great, but it's better than the 25% rating it gets from the critics. An old-fashiond adventure yarn with good actors. The suspense won't kill anyone, but the story chugs along ok.

WHO PAINTED THE MONA LISA? DA VINKI! Anyways, this is like the cross between a chicken wing and National Treasure obviously. Imagine Hanks pretending to be Cusak pretending to be Cage, and here we are. Run time grossly exceeds attention span for this heavily recycled material. Um you're better off probably staring at your own dingus than watching this. Oooooooohooohhohhh nooooo plot twist! Impossible to see coming
