An OK movie...MIGHT be better if you read the book

Rating: 7/10 (15 May 2009)

I saw this movie at a midnight screening at a local theater late Thursday Night. I never read the book "Angels & Demons" or "The Da Vinci Code". I have to say, this movie was okay at best, but it might have been better if I read the books. The movie keeps your attention a little in the beginning, and in the middle. But in the end, it just drags on and on. You think that at one point it will end, but it doesn't. It just keeps going and going and going until it FINALLY stops. Maybe I was tired waiting for it to be over to go home? I don't know. But, the ending did kind of drag a bit. Sort of a let-down. However, I do give this movie a high rating, because it still is a good film and it makes you want to know what will happen. Will the Vatican be saved? Or will it be destroyed by light? Go see "Angels & Demons" if you want to find out! Tom Hanks plays a very good professor character that knows what's happening at every moment. Good acting, okay writing, okay movie.
7/10.
