Very good movie, but comparing to the book...

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2009)

The movie was very good, and I'm a huge Tom Hanks fan. But this wasn't his best flicks.
Angels & Demons -movie is VERY different from the book, and some changes I could understand, since the movie was only 2,5 hours long. But some changes could've been undone -like the very beginning of the movie. They tied Vittoria Vetra to the story with very light reasons, when the dead scientist wasn't Vittoria's father -like in the book. The story would've been much better, if she'd had more personal touch on the whole thing than just finding the anti-material.
And there were lots of this kind of not-need-to-do changes in the film. Also I was a bit disappointed when Langdon/Hanks didn't go to the helicopter at the end. It would've been so much more cooler.
And many of the original characters were gone or placed with another one.
But.. Oh well. I DID like the book better. But I'll give 7 out of 10 anyways. Could've been better though.
