Uh oh, this does not bode well for this movie.
"A pulpy page-turner in its original incarnation as a huge international bestseller has become a stodgy, grim thing in the exceedingly literal-minded film version of The Da Vinci Code," opined Variety film critic Todd McCarthy.
"[Howard and writer Akiva Goldsman] conspired to drain any sense of fun out of the melodrama, leaving expectant audiences with an oppressively talky film that isn't exactly dull, but comes as close to it as one could imagine with such provocative material".
Wow and there was even some unintentional laughter which is the kiss of death to a thriller in my book. I guess DaVinci Code is one of those movies that I will be checking out on HBO sometime in the far future.
"At the high point, there was laughter among the journalists. Not loud laughs, but a snicker and I think that says it all," the Associated Foreign Press quoted Gerson Da Cunha from the Times of India.
