Angels & Demons

[BanginJimmy]

Haven't seen this but I did see the special that the discovery channel had on that pretty much proved wrong everything from Angels and Demons.

Was the movie worth it?

LMAO, you watch a movie and expect it to be accurate, then complain that it wasnt.


From the FandF thread

pretty damn good movie. i think its better than the other ones

It is called a movie and not a documentary for a reason. I guess that movie was more accurate for you?



Back on topic:

I've read both books a couple times and absolutely loved both. DaVinci Code sucked as a movie. Hanks did an absolutely horrid job of acting. It was almost like he was reading his lines off a teleprompter as he went. For that reason, along with the fact that the producers said they strayed from the book to appease the church, I will stay away from the movie. Maybe I will put it on my netflix after it comes out on DVD.

get over yourself and quit trying to find shit to argue about. i never said the movie was accurate nor did I say i believe everything in the show on discovery channel. I also said I DID NOT see the movie and SAW the show. Learn to read next time.

they strayed from the book to appease the church

I watched it yesterday and I have to say it is a really hard slap on the face to the church, probably the best part about it haha.

I havent seen the movie, but I read in several reviews that they strayed to appease the church.

On a side note, am I the only one that has read Dan Browns other 2 books? Neither was as good as these 2, but still a good read. I wish he had something new for me to read.

Edit:

Just as I typed that, He has a new book coming Sept.15 and it is another Robert Langdon.
