Da vinci's best! - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

the movie was great ,,,, it is very entertaining.. the cast and the disrection is really one of the best of Ron howard..but the book is quite better and exciting....

Major upset - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

Nothing like the excitement of the book, this movie was slapped together and it clearly shows. No actor cohesiveness and the convesion from book to film is pretty predictable. Not too mention a long long movie that almost put me out....

Fell slightly below the bar - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

Many felt the Da Vinci code would make a great movie, but while I was reading the book, I began to realize that it could never be well adapted. The book is actually fairly well written and entertaining (please stop with all the religious attacks and read the book as what it is, a NOVEL), but it just doesn't translate well to the big screen. One of the joys of the book is trying to solve all of the mysteries as you read it. Some might argue that feeling can occur in movies as well, but in movies we all know that with time constraints they have to push the solutions at you rather than give you the time to absorb it. This is the case with Da Vinci Code. The sad part about it is that after seeing this movie, you will know all the answers but never have the satisfaction of discovering them yourself. Again, when I refer to answers, I don't mean some kind of religious enlightenment; I mean understanding the codes in the movie. So to wrap this all up, I would prefer that everyone read the book (because quite frankly this movie isn't the greatest) instead of seeing this, but if you must, it's actually a lot of fun and will be very interesting to those who haven't read the book. Thanks for your time, have a good night at the movies :). Overall Rating --> 8.5/10 Rating to those who have read it --> 7.5/10 -Cat

Don't waste your money or your time - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

As one of the critics said...the book is quicker to read than the movie is to watch... For all the hype there is virtually no story line and for all the lineup of actors and directors...a high school drama department could put on a better show.

Good movie, but sending the wrong message - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

I just saw The Da Vinci Code and I have not read the book and I didn't know what to expect. While I was watching The Da Vinci Code I thought it was a good thriller movie but it's just sending the wrong message nasically in The Da Vinci Code they are saying that Jesus and Mary Magalene had sex and had a child, that is all wrong and I couldn't follow that through the movie. They try to make it seem real like it did happen and try to get you to believe but not me. Those of you who have read and loved the book and liked the previews go head to the movies. But for the rest of you who din't like the previews or don't want to support this message go see something else or stay at home and wait for X Men: The Last Stand. I am very dissapionted in The Da Vinci Code but atleast I got X Men: The Last Stand to wait for.

A solid movie with or without the book - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

At times a bit hard to follow if you haven't read the book, this nevertheless is a movie with an intriguing storyline. Ron Howard has done a masterful job trying to explain some of the book's more complex plot points through excellent visuals. The action never flags and keeps you involved throughout, with acting that is solid and laudable. This is a movie, not the book, and it should stand and be judged on its own. It succeeds every way on that level. It's a great summer flick worth both your time and money.

Yuck yuck yuck - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

Cheaply made...freaking howard rushed the whole story and it is just so much more insulting to the christian/catholic faith by watching than reading it... this is a rubbish fil...take my word don't waste your 9.00 just get J. Lo's Gigli! Gigli's much better or Mariah's glitter. VOMIT!

Slightly flat, but if you read the book.... - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

The film stays about 95% accurate to the book. That being said, the book is a lot of conjecture and puzzle solving which leads to lots of dialogue, which could be the most fascinating points of the movie, but they do fall a little flat. The action is mediocre. I cannot speak for those who did not read the book, but for those who did, it doesn't seem to be the kind of story to translate REALLY well into film. It's solid, but not amazing. Worth seeing though. (Spoiler below) the whole thing about "the well" and the claustrophibia - made up entirely for the film, seems to be a kind of way to say "hey christians/catholics, see we still think it's ok to have faith." Its a decent addition but still feels very forced after reading the book and all the information absorbed beforehand in the film. For those who argue its a work of "fiction"...well we all know how well researched the book was, and therefore (Brown) sued over. The topic itself is fascinating of you allow yourself to play "devil's advocate" and go in with an open mind...

Anti-christian lemming movie - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

That's all this fluff movie is. It has tons of anti-christian sentiments and fairy tales which the atheist and other anti-religious lemmings love to believe without any facts or rational thoughts. The movie was terrible.

The davinci blows - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

They should call this the DaVinci COMA - as it is a real sleeper. I suggest seeing this movie in a theater with really comfortable seats, as you will be out like a light within the first 45 mins (don't worry, seeing as the movie runs over 2.5hrs you'll have plenty of time for shut eye). The action and suspense that we have learned to love from flicks like Indiana Jones, Romancing the Stone and even National Treasure were all missing form this dull cinematic flop. The adaptation is way too serious - all the focus was keeping the story accurate to the book which does not make for good movie watching. As for all of the external dialogue between the fact and fiction of this movie? The FACT is that this movie is all hype and no heart... I look forward to seeing Ian in X-3 later this summer - playing a much more intelligent and entertaining role.

The book is better - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

Ron Howard's adaptation of Dan Brown book is very disappointing. The book is much better. There was too much controversy around the movie but at last the adaptation was so disappointing. Ron Howard adaptation was not as passionate as the book...

Total nonsense! - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

The movie is totally fake. All of the anti-Christian "evidence" is historically undocumented and phony mumbo-jumbo. If you like movies about a sulking, self-flagellating, murderous Albino, then this is your movie. I am tired of anti-Jesus movies. There is nothing factual in this movie. It is all rubbish.

Davinci code the movie (two thumbs) - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

This movie is excellent(10/10). Everything connected to this movie is simply SUPERB. The Actors and Actresses performed their best, Tom Hanks once again proved that he is number 1(unbeatable). Ron Howard directs the movie with nothing but style in the artistic form which many critics aren't able to identify it maybe due to high expectations or religious clash. Watch this movie & WATCH IT AGAIN, TWO THUMBS AND TWO TOES UP, BRAVOOOOOO!!! The Da Vinci Code the movie is even better than the Book.....AWESOME!!!

Almost as good as the novel - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

The film is good and the directors we're able to bring the novel characters to life. Its fun to watch on the large screen the characters in the novel and re-live the sites and historical places featured in the novel. It was a great experience.

Wow a must see - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

The movie is great, i dont want to give anything away so, just be ready for a ong and great movie. Get some popcorn and a big drink and jsut watch for 2.5 hours. Go see it stop reading. Really why are you still home, get itn your car, bike train space ship GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

Great book, good movie - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

I respect the book and movie for breaking taboos and allowing people to ask questions about religion. Great pacing and editing. I could never understand why questioning a religion is so bad. Fact or Fiction- I say fiction. Then again, I don't just accept things at face value. You decide for yourself. Great movie.

Really not worth the price of a ticket - The Da Vinci Code Reviews

I read the book, which was interesting at first, but got tedious as it went on. The movie is worse by far. A much better book was "The Gemini Contenders" by Robert Ludlum and it would have lent itself to a more masterful rendition of a religious conspiracy. Slapped together for maximum profit, neither this movie, nor the book, were either satisfying or adequate for a fictional distraction. I expected more from Howard and Hanks, but they did not deliver.
