Angels and Demons - Movie Review

The latest Dan Brown adaptation had less controversy about it than The DaVinci Code but, oddly enough, Angels and Demons is the better of the two. While both were chock-ful of eye-candy scenery - aside from the preposterous plots - Angels and Demons had the more conventional, and thus, less convoluted, plot of running against time to stop the deaths of many. Sure, Hanks had little to do other than run from one location to the next and spout off plot points, and his co-star had even littler to do than listen to Hanks spout off, but so what? It was an enjoyable ride for the most part, with little to offend if you didn't take things seriously - and I didn't - and a perfectly good way to spend a beautiful summer day indoors.
