Angels & Demons : The Review.

As I've mentioned earlier, I won the ticket from Luffy to watch Angels & Demons 2-days prior the grand screening. So, I went to watch it last night with Mr Tapa @ Cineleisure Damansara. Thanks Luffy, thanks Adverlets for the screening and for the Krispy Kreme's donuts.

So, here's the review. Not a full review, just a very brief one on how it goes. It will kills the thrills to whoever wanna watch it later, right?

I've read the book. Half. I don't wanna finish it because I don't wanna know the ending. And as usual, the book always better than the motion picture. I'm not saying that the movie is no good. But, I expect something more or less the book. Dan Brown is a really good writer. My imagination went wild with his writings. I can't put down the book when I start reading it. And FYI, he is also the author of The Da Vinci Code. I love the Da Vinci Code, both, motion and the book.

For those who have watched The Da Vinci Code, this Angels & Demons is said to be a prequel of the movie. The nature of the movie is more or like the same as the Da Vinci Code, where Professor Robert Langdon (played by Tom Hanks) solving the case guided by symbols and signs.

If in Da Vinci Code, they were focusing on searching the blood line of Jesus and Mariam using mostly Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings. In Angels & Demons, the symbols and signs were from Bernini's statues in Vatican's churches to save Vatican from destruction.

The 'treasure-hunt' like nature, with the deadline and all, made the movie very exciting to watch. The soundtracks quite cool too. I should sit in the middle. But the back seat was not bad too. My company and me kinda enjoying it. Not too hot, nor cold.

There was also dramas to add the gaps in the movie. Most dramas were about the selection of the new pope after the present been murdered. I like how they twist the ending. I didn't expect that. I thought the bad guy was someone else. Haha. I've conned!

Overall, it was historically entertaining. I'm not a fan of History subject in my school days. And I do hope Malaysian History can be teach with movie. It's kinda exciting to watch how 'this-and-that' became what we have now.

Now, I wish for Rome. I really wanna go to Rome.
