very good film, ignoring it was a book before. As are most books made into films, ppl generally say the book is better, as for tom hanks acting badly stfu

angels and demons sucks balls. I couldnt finish it is very slow paced and very boring. Repetetive and basically the same structure as the da vinci code

Angels & Demons came first though. I bet if you read them the other way round you would be saying the same about The Da Vinci Code!!

Yeah, wasn't there a mention of a crazy plane/helicoptor in Da Vinci Code?
That Robert Langden charactor fancies himself as a bit of a stud as well doesn't he!

Predictable, unremarkable and elementary.

Saw it last friday with Rob, thought the film was very good!
Paul Bettany and Ian Mckellen were great too

Really good I thought. Followed the book pretty well. There were a couple of things, but I think it was my interpretations of the book more than anything!
All the fuss that was made by the differant religous groups, everything they said teh ysaid were theories anyway!
Plus, I was quite impresssed with Tom Hanks' performance, one of the few films where he not reprising his role from Big!
And Audrey! oh Audrey!

Saw the film last night and thought it was neither hear nor there!
You can tell that its been rushed, it didn't build up any suspense like the book did but maybe thats because i'd read the book and knew what was going to happen!
Don't spoil a good book by going to see the film 
Like most others this is the only book i've read since I was at school!

i know what you mean it seemed as if they snapped between scenes too quickly and got to the point quicker than the book did, but i suppose it was to keep the viewer entertained and to keep the film length down, cos i thought 2 an half hours was about right, any longer an me arse would have gone numb and i'd a lost interest.

read da vinci code back in jan, seen film twice since friday, think its excellent! theres a lot of detail missed out from the book in the film, but to be fair, had they included it all would have been too long! readin angels and demons now, just getting into that. then have digital fortress and deception point to read
