I have been making the Ayalas richer by watching movies for three consecutive weekends. First was Wolverine, second was Star Trek and the third and latest is Angels and Demons. I did not expect much from the film since I am pretty sure that there would not be too much special effects to rival that of the other two flicks. What I was after was the adaptation of it from the best-selling novel with the same title.
Last Saturday after my dentist appointment and checking a condo, i went to Trinoma (as usual!) to watch the film. When i got there, i saw the insane crowd of people and the long lines so I decided to watch it the next day.
Overall, it was a so-so movie. It was almost similar to the book. Well, i read the book again just in time for the movie. There were some deviations from the novel. First, they did not establish that Victoria Vetra was the Leonardo's daughter. Second, Cardinal Baggia died in the novel, in the film he became Pope. Third, they did not reveal that the Camarlengo was the dead pope's son through an artificial insemination. Lastly, Cardinal Strauss was not elected Pope.
I liked the explosion of the antimatter scene. It satisfied my imagination from the book. Also, the assassin, played by Nikolaj Lie Kaas, looked really hot. Haha! I'm definitely loving him now. While watching it, it reminded me of The Amazing Race. Oh well, I think That was how it was supposed to be being all set to happen within a day.
At last, I already watched the three biggest films. I might check out Night at the Museum 2. It looks interesting.
