Suspenseful book-to-movie adaptation

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 2016)

I like this way better than the Da Vinci Code. The movie is an adaptation of Dan Brown's Robert Langdon's book "Angels & Demons", which actually preceded the Da Vinci Code. I watched the movie first prior to reading the book. Before reading, I thought the movie was fast-paced and coherent. After reading, I thought the movie did a great job in basing off the book.
Firstly, the cinematography is beautiful. The setting is in Rome and the Vatican City, and the night scenes across the city is gorgeous. I was very impressed the movie crew recreated the St. Peter's Square and many of the churches to great detail. The soundtrack by Hans Zimmer adds to the effect of a grandiose setting.
Secondly, the plot is equally captivating as the book. The story is tight, well-explained, with a twist that leads to a satisfying ending. I was engrossed in the movie for every second.
