Angels & Demons
polycounter lvl 18
Anyone catch it this weekend? Is it any good? I'm trying to decide if it's theater worthy, or just wait for DVD.
I was all ready to see it this weekend, but my wife protested that it wasn't going to be worth the money at a theater. So, any thoughts?

Our movie nights out are limited (finding a baby sitter dealing with theater people bla blba...) so we won't be spending a movie night out on this one. Probably save it for Up or some other early summer release.
I'm avoiding it on the basis that useless pillock Dan Brown is involved somewhere.
The first hour was very boring, there was hardly any background story or any in dept story at all. You expect to get some affinity with the characters (evil or good) in the movie, but to be honest, I didnt give a damn. I did not read the book but some of my friends did and told me a lot of information was left out. So I guess I will read the book.
The last 30 minutes of the movie where a little bit better, more action but still not that interesting.
I have more reasons why I didnt like the movie but I would spoil things I geuss. My advice, go see it at home.
Review: Linear, predictable, anti-climactic and mildly entertaining. I guess it's an ok movie to go see if you're just looking to kill a few hours in the company of good friends. But don't get your expectations up.
Has Ron Howard actually made any good films?
I also liked The Missing and Cinderella Man, but he's pretty hit and miss, sometimes more miss then hit. Definitely not worth going to see a movie just because he's involved.
For those that have seen it, did they play it up like a sequel? In the book it was a prequel, but the ad's I've seen sound like a it takes place after The Da Vinci Code.
