Angels & Demons
Posted on by Mac Slocum
About 3/4 of the way through this movie I was thinking “this is so much better than ‘The Da Vinci Code’.”
That’s true. This movie is way more interesting than the “Da Vinci” dud.
But then “Angels & Demons” ran for 30 minutes longer and everything fell apart.
The story needed three kidnapped cardinals, not four. It needed five flaming / dilapidated / creepy churches. Not 10 (or however many there were).
A little restraint could have made this a tight two hours of frivolous and absurd fun. But when it kept lingering and lingering, you knew the twist was coming.
