Even as successful as Tom Hanks is, he doesn’t put himself or his work on a pedestal. His highest-earning franchise is no exception. The “Da Vinci Code” series was mightily successful at the box office: its first installment garnered $758 million in revenue, making it Hanks’ most financially successful film, per IMDb. In an interview with The New York Times, he defended himself against accusations of cynicism, which argued that he only acted in its sequels for money. Although he called the series a “commercial enterprise,” he believed the series sought to entertain people with pure motives. However, he called the movies “hooey,” comparing its accuracy to the espionage in James Bond movies. By the end of the franchise, Hanks believed it was no longer “good commerce.”

In 2002, Hanks said he didn’t believe any of his movies were underrated and all received at least their deserved praise, per Showbiz Cheatsheet. In an interview with The Guardian, Hanks admitted that he’s made movies that didn’t make a lot of sense, but they all required effort. Even then, he doesn’t like to think about his past roles, because they remind him of individual acting decisions he regrets making.
