These same critics once said "Star Wars" was the corniest, dumbest, worst movie they had ever seen.
True, but the Da Vinci Code is based on a corny, dumb book. Being a best seller doesn't translate into a great movie... The Left Behind books, which I'm not a fan of, are in literary terms far superior and as movies they still sucked.

Are you sure about that? It seems to have gotten pretty darn good reviews:

Considering the liberal and anti-Christian leanings of a lot of critics, THE DA VINCI CODE must be a major turkey to be getting such negative reviews. Of seven top critics who have chimed in so far at the Rotten Tomatoes site, it's zero thumbs up and seven thumbs down.
