da vinci code reviews

Here are some reviews of the da vinci code.
These all come the site rotten tomatoes, which as of 8:30am est on Friday, 19 May, shows it at 18 tomatoes.

"You know a movie's a dud when even its self-flagellating albino killer monk isn't any fun." John Beifuss, COMMERCIAL APPEAL (MEMPHIS, TN)

"So Dark, the Con of Dan...." Joe Utichi, FilmFocus

"Way too long and duller than watching Da Vinci's paint dry...." Edward Douglas, ComingSoon

"Here's the gospel on The Da Vinci Code: It's a total snore." Tom Long, DetroitNews

"The most controversial thriller of the year turns out to be about as exciting as watching your parents play Sudoku." Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST

"The truth is that The Da Vinci Code is a pretty-good-but-who-cares effort, a moderately interesting diversion that will hold audiences in the moment but leave them unmoved and unchanged." Mick LaSalle, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

You could argue I picked & chose those quotes... but there are not many positive reviews on rotten tomatoes and the ones that are a kind of vague... they could have been written for another film.

Anyone plan on going to see it after these ringing endorsements.

This film was definitely for people who enjoy a challenge and have an attention span. I am glad so many around the world went to see it...
