I read both books, loved both, da vinci code rated a 9, angels and demons rated a 10. The movie of DVC was a good adaptation of the book, had very high expectations for A&D. For the movie goer who is looking for an action movie this is great. The person who knows the story will be dissappointed. It had so much potential and fell short. Cutting scenes, not building the characters up, action is great but action without reason is not. The movie never explained how the Camerangelo poisened the Pope, oh who by the way was his FATHER. Only book knowers would know that. This movie had SO MUCH potential and fell very much short of what I had expected. Entertaining yet not fulfilling for me. Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth
