Finally the prequel movie (or sequel book) to Angels & Demons has come up on the way. I know it's almost cliche these days, but I'm a fan of Robert Langdon and his adventures, as well as his token female adventure partner. Actually, I like Sophie the most of the two of them.
So here we are on the hunt for DaVinci's clues across Europe, uncovering deep and dark Christian secrets, and blowing the lid of the life of Christ. Interesting to think how much of this is true - which many speculated when the book first hit shelves, but that's long since died down. Now, most people just enjoy it for the adventure and the mystery of it all.
Some argue that the movie's too long. Maybe it is. But with book to movie adaptations, there's no pleasing everyone. Overall, I think this captures the tone of the book, which is the part we all like, which makes this a good adaptation in my opinion.
