Default Angels and Demons

Thoughts?

I watched it the night after it come out, and to be honest, I'm really not sure whether I was happy with it. I felt like even the suspense was fake. I've only read half the book because I got too distracted with other books but still realised that the movie cut out so many important details and even changed major parts of the plot! However Ewan McGregor did a fantastic job with his role and think he was the reason I got through the movie. I wouldn't say it was awful as I was alert the whole movie and it was somewhat realistic, but it just felt forced and I didn't see the sexual chemistry between Mr. Langdon and Miss Vittoria that I think the movie really needed.

5/10

I read the Da Vinci Code and it did what it said on the tin- trashy airport novel. Readable but not worth a re-read. Films comes out and is awful, lacking in every department. I then tried to read Angels and Demons and just became bored with it and never finished it. in fact I think it's still in a draw languishing somewhere.

Then we get a film version again directed by Ron Howard and starring the bore himself Tom Hanks so I think I will skip it!

Haha that's why I gave up on reading Angels and Demons, it was actually boring! I don't understand how Dan Brown's books are best sellers.

Right place, right time I guess. Book shelves are full with conspiracy theory novels now. Quite sad really

I get so sick of them, and next thing you know people make a whole religion out of some fictional book about aliens coming to earth!

No I don't care to see this at all and think it's gonna suck.

But what's with the Tom Hanks dissing? He's one of my favorite actors.

In what sense? I have to say I don't really know anything about Tom Hanks' politics.

Anyway I've never read any of the books but I saw the DaVinci Code movie and thought it was pretty weak so I doubt I'll go see Angels and Demons.

i dont agree with tom hanks' political views, or his monetary contributions,...thus i dont want to add to his bank account to fund such things

Same here, he's a great actor, I just didn't think much of him in these movies.
