A big disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (6 June 2009)

This movie had all the potential.The book had the right ingredients for a blockbuster,thrill a minute,nail biting summer flick.But,unnecessary modifications has resulted into another insipid adaptation of a Dan Brown book.
The pacing of the film is nowhere as racy as the book.Sometimes,it's plain boring.Changes are welcome in a film adaptation if it adds some value to it.However,the changes out here are plain unneeded and silly.Dropping Kohler for a character called Richter,reducing the whole Illuminati plot to a whimper isn't my idea of a change for the better.
Tom Hanks simply reprises the role he did in the Da Vinci Code,which isn't saying much.Ayelet Zurer was far from perfect.Ewan McGregor could have made a good Camerlengo,but the role written for him isn't that great.
Watch Angels and Demons with minimal expectations,you might enjoy it.If you liked the Da Vinci Code film,you are sure to enjoy this
