I was a huge fan of the Di Vinci Code and I had high hopes for Angels and Demons. I came away satisfied but disappointed. It was a good movie considering but it was also extremely far-fetched at the same time. I did not read the book so I cannot comment on the closeness of the plot lines. My understanding is that they weren't even close, though. I do almost always enjoy watching Tom Hanks he is very versitile. I think he was probably the saving grace to the film. Ron Howard did a wonderful job directing the film, but it did not live up to the expectations.
