Reviews for The Da Vinci Code
So intent on being faithful, The DaVinci Code forgets to be entertaining.

Any movie with a skulking albino assassin begs for campy, self-aware treatment, but Howard and scripter Akiva Goldsman serve it all up straight-faced.

Who knows whether Dan Brown was motivated by a distaste for Catholicism or merely by money? Regardless, it seems dishonest for him to foist his debunked heresies on the gullible, unsuspecting public as if they're the God's honest truth.

A great film to look at and Salvatore Totino's cinematography is pitch-perfect.

Whatever your beliefs, "The Da Vinci Code" is a film to be seen and, more importantly, discussed.

They make fun of you for watching their movies, and still they get paid!

If you want an entertaining yarn about the Knights Templar, historical secrets, and cryptic codes hidden in famous documents and artifacts, go rent National Treasure.

Does what a good film adaptation should do: Illustrate the best parts of its source material and still manage to make a highly enjoyable film for the uninitiated.

The movie version is so faithful to Dan Brown's hit book it should come with a dust jacket ...
07/27/06
If you want a taut adventure story, read the book. If you want a simiplistic tale with average performances and irritating alterations to the source material, watch the movie.
07/25/06
It would have taken a more imaginative approach and vision not within the reach of Howard and Goldsman to make the material come alive as a movie.
07/17/06
The Da Vinci Code is just another summer movie for people who like pulp in their cinematic orange juice.
07/08/06
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.
