The story is about a murder in Louvre leads a cryptologist on a quest to uncover a secret that could rock the Christian world. The story is too deep and the acting is boring same as the directing.

The book read like a film and I had high hopes with Tom Hanks taking the lead. I probably put too much faith in Tom Hanks as the book was pure hokum and I ceased to read it when about 3/4 of the way through I realised people were actually taking it seriously. The characters were difficult to engage with emotionally, they were just cookie cutter stuff. Difficult not to laugh when Hanks character shouts "I've got to get to a library... Fast!" Must be a movie first and worth half a star itself.

It was really rather overrated. And full of conspiracy theories.

Look, the answers are all around us. Who doesn't like conspiracies and secret secret organizations? Not to mention the mysteries of the Catholic world.

Adapting a book where puzzles and cryptids play a significant role in the plot inevitably results in a film that struggles to sustain a tension-filled pace. Paul Bettany is a chilling villain, but the Da Vinci Code novel is just too expansive and elaborate of a work to be properly adapted without feeling short-changed and uneven.

Murder and intrigue in Paris, this movie was not wha I expected after having read the book. Tom Hanks and Ian McKellan both did well, but as a whole, I'm sure that this movie would have been better if the script was kept more simply. It held close to the plot of the book, but not the visuals. Still, watch it if you're in the mood for a good mystery.

This is one of my favorite books ever written. I was so stoked to see the film and I have to say it was a excellent film. It followed the novel very well, except the end, but it was well made and highly entertaining. I would suggest this film to someone who like the book.

An intriguing thriller that poses some very interesting religious theories when it isn't too busy giving us standard chase moments; Ian McKellen is perfectly cast, but the whole thing is weighed down by a miscast Tom Hanks, who simply refuses to participate in the proceedings with much enthusiasm. Final Grade: B

Read the book then see the movie. The book was much better but the movie wasn't bad.

I hate it when movies treat me like a moron, as this one does. I haven't read the book and after this film I've no wish to. The meaning of the sybolism they piont out in the movie is wrong, I have a symbolism dictionary cause I'm a geek, not one thing they point out is correct. the pentagram does not mean the "divine female", it symbolizes marriage or ballance of the sexes. If you want a movie that talks about a relative of christ watch Dogma. Kevin Smith seems to have done a little bit more research.
