Tarrador's "Netflix Movies 2009"

Saw this in the theater. I was a big fan of the DaVinci Code Book, and was less wowed by the movie. I considered Angels and Demons the book to be less enjoyable than DaVinci Code, but still figured they would work out all the missteps they made in the movie. They did not, but that doesn’t make it a bad movie. A bit slow and plodding, and only Ewan McGregor’s skill and charisma keeps you from figuring things out too early, although you are always suspicious. The movie (as did the book) takes place over the course of a few hours, making everything go at a frentic pace. Sometimes things just go too fast. Which sould make up for when it goes too slow. But it doesn’t. Still, in the world of thrillers and suspence that CGI-vision spectacles like Transformers and Terminator has left for us, it is nice to squeeze away from the teen crowd and watch a movie for adults.
