Holy Crap!!!! The earliest review for The Da Vinci Code have come out… and they’re BAD. With a book so loved… how can you possibly screw up the movie version? Well, it looks like they found a way.
Here is what some critics are saying in their Da Vinci Code Reviews:
“There might be a riveting adventure thriller to be made from Dan Brown’s controversial bestseller, but this is not it. Melodramatic, overlong and dare I say occasionally boring, Ron Howard’s The Da Vinci Code gets lost in the maze of its puzzles and media”
Urban Cinefile Critics, URBAN CINEFILE“…overblown so-so suspense flick…”
JoBlo, JOBLO’S MOVIE EMPORIUM“A jumble of historical myth, religious symbology and international thriller-action makes for an unwieldy, bloated melodrama.”
Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER“An oppressively talky film that isn’t exactly dull, but comes as close to it as one could imagine with such provocative material.”
Todd McCarthy, VARIETY“Perhaps an interesting side-piece to those already fanatical about the book, but ultimately a lifeless adaptation that reveals the flaws of its source. So Dark, the Con of Dan Brown.”
Joe Utichi, FILMFOCUS
As of this moment, The Da Vinci Code review are carrying a… are you ready for this??? 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Yes… 0%.
Now, take that with the grain of salt that there aren’t a lot of reviews up yet… but the early ones certainly don’t bode well
