My boyfriend and I didn't read either of the books, only a brief synopsis of "Angels & Demons." We are devout catholics and thought it would be interesting to see what this was all about so we went to see it yesterday. The movie theater we went to is absolutely beautiful so any movie seen there is great, but this movie was fantastic. We were worried it would be anti-Catholicism, but it wasn't at all. It was historically accurate, not at all insulting or pretentious. It was thrilling and suspenseful, I laughed and I cried and it was a wonderful experience. Great Movie, I was very happy to watch it.
