    Synopsis

      New York Post

      Ron Howard's splendid The Da Vinci Code is the Holy Grail of summer blockbusters: a crackling, fast-moving thriller that's every bit as brainy and irresistible as Dan Brown's controversial bestseller.

      Dallas Observer

      All in all, a respectable and predictable adaptation.

      Los Angeles Times

      While the story plays better on the page than the screen and some of the film's elements work better than others, a proficient Ron Howard version of things is certainly competent if only occasionally thrilling.

      The surprise, and disappointment, of The Da Vinci Code is how slipshod and hokey the religious detective story now seems.

      Variety

      Director Ron Howard and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman have conspired to drain any sense of fun out of the melodrama, leaving expectant audiences with an oppressively talky film that isn't exactly dull but comes as close to it as one could imagine with such provocative material.

      I certainly can't support any calls for boycotting or protesting this busy, trivial, inoffensive film. Which is not to say I'm recommending you go see it.

      Ron Howard has taken an intriguing page-turner of a story and re-shaped it into a bloated wannabe epic.

      Time

      Howard and Goldsman have efficiently touched all the bases. But they haven't found a way to replicate the book's page-turning urgency.
