B- Boston Globe Ty Burr "...a small, surprisingly ordinary movie." more... C   Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "Dan Brown's novel is utterly preposterous; Ron Howard's movie is preposterously entertaining." more... B   Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips "How can a film contain so many clues yet remain utterly clueless? " more... C- E! Online "Simply decoded, Da Vinci ain't da bomb -- but it ain't a bomb, either." more... C+ Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman "The film is faithful enough, but it's hard to imagine it making many converts." more... C+ filmcritic.com Sean O'Connell "...can't help but fail to measure up to its literary predecessor." more... C- Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "...an unwieldy, bloated melodrama." more... C- New York Post Lou Lumenick "...a crackling, fast-moving thriller that's every bit as brainy and irresistible as Dan Brown's controversial bestseller." more... A   New York Times A.O. Scott "...above all a murder mystery. And as such, once it gets going, Mr. Howard's movie has its pleasures." more...

B- Rolling Stone Peter Travers "...a dreary, droning, dull-witted adaptation..." more... D   San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "A pretty-good-but-who-cares effort." more... B- Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...something of a pleasant surprise." more... B+ USA Today Claudia Puig "The most startling revelation in the movie version of The Da Vinci Code is the way it soft-pedals its provocative premise and borders on tedium." more... C   * Yahoo!
