Chicago Sun-Times Let us begin, then, by agreeing that The Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction. And that since everyone has read the novel, I need only give away one secret -- that the movie follows the book religiously. While the book is a potboiler written with little grace and style, it does supply an intriguing plot. Roger Ebert

Reelviews Perhaps a better title for The Da Vinci Code might be Much Ado about Nothing. When you boil away the hype and hysteria, all that remains is a pedestrian murder mystery that isn't sufficiently challenging or scandalous to raise anyone's hackles. It's preposterous, overlong, and saddled with a sloppy denouement that defines the term "anti-climax." James Berardinelli

Palo Alto Online Perhaps the most unforgivable aspect of the film is giving lip service to the sacred feminine while relegating Sophie to sidekick status. If she's the seasoned code breaker, why does the male protagonist unscramble every anagram, puzzle and secret message? And in her shining moment, Sophie defers to Robert for advice and validation. String these letters together: S-E-X-I-S-T. Susan Tavernetti
