* On Your Own? And what happened with the Angels and Demons?

angeles_and_demons Hello my dear readers, in Yesterday we had the opportunity to go to the cinema to see Angels and Demons, so as long as a good "Critical" I am I bring you my most sincere opinion. Here is a brief synopsis of the book:

Synopsis

Robert Langdon discovers evidence of a recurrence of an old secret brotherhood called the Illuminati, the most powerful organization secret history, which in turn also faces a threat that makes it dangerous to life: the Catholic Church. When Langdon learns that the Illuminati conspired against church trying to detonate an antimatter bomb, he goes to Rome, where he joins forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and enigmatic Italian scientist.

They embark on a journey without a break along one day, full of action through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals and even the heart of the most secretive vault on earth. Langdon and Vetra will follow clues to 400 years old that mark the Vatican as the only hope of survival.

The team behind the worldwide phenomenon The Da Vinci Code sample for very expected Angels and Demons, based on the bestselling novel by Dan Brown. Tom Hanks reprises his role as Harvard religious expert Robert Langdon, who once again finds that forces with ancient roots are willing to stop at nothing, even murder, to advance their goals. Ron Howard again directs the film, which is produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and John Calley. The screenplay is by David Koepp and Akiva Goldsman.

Opinion

angels & demons Before starting this review I want everyone to keep in mind that not even two months ago me for the second time I read this book so that the story is pretty fresh in my head. Another important thing is that the three books I've read Dan Brown's book in particular was what I liked most and one of my favorites so if you dream something unjust I ask you to forgive me but I can not help it.

If I say that the movie was my total degreasing think they lie because I found something amusing and the truth is that race is a constant and is almost impossible to get bored

However the same adaptation of the book to the movie was the part that do not fit me very personally to some degree the film lost the essence of the book.

Below I detail a list I found on Wikipedia the differences between the book and the movie EYE SPOILERS:

  • In the book, Robert Langdon is called by the CERN , while the film is called by the Vatican
  • In the book, the scientist who died in CERN is the father of Vittoria Vetra, the film is a companion research.
  • In the film the director of CERN is removed as one of the protagonists.
  • In the book, the Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca is called, and the movie, Patrick McKenna.
  • In the novel, the commander of the Swiss Guard is Olivetti, being in the film Richter.
  • In the film, Olivetti is an inspector.
  • The Camerlengo is raised only in the helicopter to, in the novel also raises Robert Langdon.
  • In the film it is implied that the Pope is the adoptive father of Chamberlain, in the novel is the real father.
  • The Camerlengo commits suicide by burning to be trapped in the novel to discover that the Pope is her father.
  • Cardinal responsible for guiding the conclave, in the novel called Mortati, called Strauss.
  • The film is a sequel (ie pass the events after the story of the DaVinci Code).
  • And finally, the last mark in the book is the Diamond the Illuminati, which is composed by the words of the 4 elements. In the movie, are crossed keys.

The difference that bothers me is that the movie was TOTALLY obvious relationship between Langdon and Vittoria to believe it or not in the book plays an important and far end in the movie yet is no sign of it.

Tom Hanks's performance was good, although to date I do not think he should play the role of Robert but that does not mean they do not do well, she Ayalet Zurer was a surprise to me since physically the actress's physical description does not match that of Vittoria by the book but with dignity incarnate actress Vittoria.

Visually speaking, the film is impressive in conveying to the Vatican City and the truth is that pains many in the small details and a scene that left me impressed the explosion was spectacular.

The end point children is that by comparing the book with the movie I think was very poorly adapted but if we do not take this into account is a good movie and the truth is that you will leave vastly entertaining.

hope to have more review soon!

xoxo,

Keysha
