“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.” – New York Post
“A crackling rendition of Dan Brown's novel, siphoning off unneeded fat and fancy and leaving us with a streamlined train of a picture that never stops moving.” – Charlotte Observer
“Dan Brown's novel is utterly preposterous; Ron Howard's movie is preposterously entertaining.” – Chicago Sun-Times
