Da Vinci Code The Movie
- 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.
- Even as a visual aid, The Da Vinci Code is a deep-dyed disappointment. Paris by night never looked murkier.
- .. a first-rate thriller ..
- If only it were allowed to be merely a cheesy romp, an Indy Jones movie with more sophisticated stereotypes and far less humor. But apparently this is no mere pop novel-turned-high-hat megaplex product.
- What's wrong with The Da Vinci Code can be summed up in one word: everything!
- I won't go so far as to recommend it, and I can't imagine ever wanting to see it again.
- The Catholic Church has nothing to fear from this film. It is not just tripe. It is self-evident, spirit-lowering tripe that could not conceivably cause a single member of the flock to turn aside from the faith.
- One could classify The Da Vinci Code as diverting, but it has sidestepped greatness by a wide margin.
- The Da Vinci Code the movie suffers the sin of being afraid to make the same kind of mischief with its sacred text -- Brown's book -- that the author did with a certain other blockbusting bestseller.
- Ultimately, it's a work of fiction that, translated to another medium, seems to have lost its punch.
- Ron Howard doesn't so much solve The Da Vinci Code as preserve it under glass. It's a bloodless best-seller adaptation, competent but uninspiring, rather like the vast bulk of Howard's long filmography.
- Absent is the pure guilty joy of sequential puzzle-solving; instead of participating in the hunt, we're shoved off to the side as a couple of crashing boors do it for us.
- Like a two-bit philosopher working the wrong side of the stone, Howard has managed to turn gold into lead.

On film, The Da Vinci Code is not so much a fascinating puzzle as a prolonged slog through material that resists the screen.- In a marketplace rife with guides for idiots, dummies and the rest of us, this movie stands as the novel's priciest CliffsNotes.
- As a film derived from a book, The Da Vinci Code isn't a fiasco on the order of The Bonfire of the Vanities nor is it a triumph a la The Lord of the Rings. Instead, it's an acceptable but uninspired simulacrum.
- The most controversial thriller of the year turns out to be about as exciting as watching your parents play Sudoku.
- .. it's a thriller with a lot of explaining to do, which it does, endlessly, while we wait for an actual movie to break out.
