    Ron Howard's splendid The Da Vinci Code is the Holy Grail of summer blockbusters: a crackling, fast-moving thriller that's every bit as brainy and irresistible as Dan Brown's controversial bestseller.

    While the story plays better on the page than the screen and some of the film's elements work better than others, a proficient Ron Howard version of things is certainly competent if only occasionally thrilling.

    It stars Tom Hanks in his first genuinely dull screen performance.

    I absolutely loved this movie! I was completely entertained, and I have never read the book so I had no idea how it was going to end, which was a nice change since I normally have movies all figured out by the halfway point.… Expand

    I came to this movie with very low expectations. I have not read the book upon which it is based, and had read and heard only bad things about this movie. To add to this I have never been a great fan of Ron Howard’s movies or of the films of Tom Hanks. But I have to say this movie without being anything exceptional, was nowhere near as bad as I expected. The fact that the movie bashes organised religion was always going to appeal to me, but I do not have a clue how much of the background of this story is based on fact of if it is all fiction. The film it’s self is probably to long at two and a half hours and it seemed to really drag towards the end. However it was reasonably well directed without being anything special. There where a few trite moments which felt forced just to move the plot along, but all the acting was fine I think the script really did play the characters out as national caricatures All in all not as bad as expected but I would not watch it again.… Expand

    Tom Hanks could have done a similarly effective acting job by telecommuting.
