Its ahistorical nature. The way it plays fast and loose with ideas and historical characters that many hold as precious parts of their lives. Its conspiratorial aspects. The fact that it tells us to not worship Jesus (because he is human), but we should worship or hold Mary Magdalene (because she is human?) in a type of high honor. The idea that the Catholic Church tried to suppress Mary Magdalene when their has been several churches throughout the world built in her honor.
The author calls the book a work of fiction based upon "RESEARCH."
The movie is one of the ugliest films to be produced around such masterpieces. Not even Audrey Tautou could salvage the film, although I do think she is beautiful.
Oh yeah Leonardo da Vinci's last name was not "da Vinci." So much for research... anyway its just a book I suppose.

Well the book, despite the marketing driven hype, I don't think it's such a great book at all. Yeah, it's an okay idea, pretty well written, but nothing more... And anyone who thinks it's factual is incredibly naive.
Without wanting to sound too harsh, (given what I said above) I thought the book was much better than the movie !

The davinci code book and movie is falsehood which is why hollywood is making a killing off this falsehood. Lie to people all day long and they will love you for it but please don't confuse them with the truth. One mark of a true prophet of God is that everyone wants him dead.

Scientific inaccuracies for the sake of the book excitement, Plus the film was rather boring, compared to the book.

No, there is nothing like drawbacks. It is only the history which we are trying to explore in someway. It's all upon you that how do you react..??
