A murder in Paris' Louvre Museum and cryptic clues in some of Leonardo da Vinci's most famous paintings lead to the discovery of a religious mystery. For 2,000 years a secret society closely guards information that -- should it come to light -- could rock the very foundations of Christianity.

Critics Consensus

What makes Dan Brown's novel a best seller is evidently not present in this dull and bloated movie adaptation of The Da Vinci Code.

By the end, the film degenerates into wishy-washy relativism of the school that says "the only thing that matters is what you believe", a real cop-out after the hectic Grail quest preceding it.

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.

2/4

The filmmakers were so concerned about doing justice to the book’s ideas that they forgot there’s an audience to entertain.

The Da Vinci Code jumps from remarkable location to remarkable location without generating memorable images or dramatic moments in a single one of them. It all becomes a blur.

It is foremost moviegoing entertainment - and only secondarily a condemnation of religious fanaticism.

10 outa 10. Bounced on my boys crucifix to this for hours. My favorite film to watch while chastizing myself at Sunday school. Anyone who disagrees is just afraid of their growing lust for the middle aged hunk who plays Langdon. (_)(_)::::::::::::::::::D-----Jesus did 911------

In the attempt of making the movie as deep as the book, it forgets to give the spark that made the novel a best seller, giving it more detail to the suspense and interrogation than the things that make you really ask yourself whatÂ´s hiding. Yet is important to highlight the amazing soundtrack that this movie carries by itself, giving the precise detail to the action that is currently going in the screen, Hans Zimmer is a mastermind when talking to composition of songs, and this movie clearly shows that. Overall this movie clearly wasn't as successful as the book, but giving the fact how they represent the things and how the tend to uncover a world of knowledge, it's a really risky movie that develop and makes you ask what you really know about with something thatÂ´s seen on a daily basis.

Great movie, Not as good as the book but the music does add gravitas.

I finally saw this and I was not impressed. Even if Mary Magdalene was the Holy Grail I doubt it would make that much difference over 2,000 years later. Shouldn't the Catholic Church be concentrating on the sexual abuse allegations? Who has time to make up a complex riddle before they bleed to death? He could have sought medical attention during that time. How could Da Vinci know what the Louvre would look like in 2006?

Great Writing: 2 Stars Albeit a little slow at times and a little contrived, but a solid mystery! Good Production: 1.5 Stars With some of the worlds most beautiful locations and art filmed, you would expect magical cinematography. Nothing was terrible but nothing was particularly memorable.
