Below expectations

Rating: 6/10 (2 August 2009)

Angels & Demons is by far the best book by Dan Brown. It has a plot and pace. I'm afraid i can't say the same about the film. The film is shot in beautiful style capturing all of the Vatican & Rome. And Tom Hanks & Ewan McGregor do justice to their characters. But thats about it. the film opens well and builds up really good till it becomes a little predictable. Other characters like Ms Vetra are unconvincing to say the least. The movie lacks the pace of the book and falls apart in places. When you see Ron Howard making films like Frost/Nixon, you go with certain expectations for a film like this. It doesn't do justice to the director or the book. But a decent watch, nothing to carry home though.
