I saw the 12:01 showing Thursday night. I wait a year to see this movie. Boy was I dissapointed. After reading Da Vinci Code and seeing the movie, I thought Ron Howard would have paid Dan Brown justice and kept to the book in Angels & Demons. Not even close!
Pivital characters were completly eliminated. The "media" elment was completely eliminated. With all the special effects, could they not have incorporated the cool Mach 15 jet. That would have been fun. It seems as though they took the "idea" for the story and complety changed it 100%. I didn't even think the casting was good.
If you never read the book, it's a great Hollywood flick. If you read the book, and expect THAT story, forget it.
