Movie review : Angels and Demons

I WON'T post any spoilers here, so relax and feel free to read.


Alright, I've done a book report on this and now I'm going to do a movie review.

Firstly, I give this show a 7/10, or maybe a 6/10 if I'm strict.

Like the Da Vinci Code, the book is still lightyears better than the movie.
If you read the book - good for you. This movie gives you a condensed version of what the book is saying - with plenty of cuts; and I mean plenty.

A good thing of this movie would be that, as mentioned, they gives you a condensed version of it and you're left to find out the rest by yourself. They cut short your 6 hours of reading ( thats the time I took to complete reading the book, so yeah :/ )
and turns it into a 2 hours or so film - with plenty of loopholes inside. There's quite a number of bloody scenes in the show though.

The bad thing? For those who DID NOT read the book - you're in for a complicated time. Most likely, you will NOT get what the movie is talking about. Especially if you are bad in comprehending English, you will just be in a daze wondering about what they are talking as the scene moves on.

And for my thoughts, I think the producers or director is trying to turn this novel into a horror film - far from it's genre. Watch it and you'll get what I mean.

Nevertheless, it's still watchable on weekdays but I will not recommend it on weekdays as it's too over hyped and crowded. Nothing special really if you ask me, EXCEPT FOR A SPECIAL SCENE THAT ADDS $5 TO THE TICKET VALUE.

For me, if not for THAT scene, this show is better off paid $1 for the ticket instead of the usual $6 on weekdays.

Have fun watching !
