Our own Movie Critic Sleazy P saw Angels and Demons over the weekend. How was it? Was it better than Di Vinci Code? Angels and Demons was a better book, so you'd think the movie would be better than the last craptastic movie featuring Tom Hanks with crazy-long hair. So what did the Body think?
Well, ultimately the book was freaking awesome and I was bound to be disappointed... not only did they leave out a whole crap load of elements in the beginning... they changed story elements... Mrs Sleazy said "probably for brevity."
I don't care about stinking brevity, I care about you leaving out important parts of the story. I care about changing the freaking ending. I care about stuff being left out.
How come when JRR Tolkien writes a book and it is moviefied they don't leave out ANYTHING... Dan Freaking BROWN should be incensed. Is it better than the Di Vinci Code... Well yeah.. because the story is better. It is probably a good movie on its own merits as a movie for people who had not read the book. If you have read the book...obviously the tour of Rome and the Vatican is still very cool visually... but I don't see how you cannot be disappointed by what they did to the original story.
