Da Vinci critics round-up

Oh my.

The reviews are mostly all in.

New York: Times: “A ‘Da Vinci Code’ That Takes Longer to Watch Than Read.”

Variety: “An oppressively talky film that isn’t exactly dull, but comes as close to it as one could imagine with such provocative material.”

EW: “faithful enough, but it’s hard to imagine it making many converts.”

Time: “mostly inert”

The Hollywood Reporter: “unwieldy, bloated melodrama”

USA Today: “melodramatic, sometimes lifeless film that is missing the suspense of the popular novel”
