Director Ron Howard says he's "frustrated" by the negative reviews of his $125 million film of Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code.

He pointed out that the movie-going crowd often disagrees with early reviewers. He also said some people were finding the movie "more rewarding" on a second viewing.

Only one major publication so far has given the movie a good review. The New York Times called it "crackling" and "irresistable."

Atta boy, Ope!
