I don't think the Da Vinci Code lent itself to being a movie, and as such I don't think it did the book justice, at all. However I think that Angels and Demons, despite the strong similarity I felt between the books, might be more suited to the big screen seeing as it's more action-oriented. Or maybe I just read it faster, I don't know.
 The problem with turning books like the Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons into films, is that I felt I got a lot of the enjoyment out of the learning (I couldn't think of a better word, sorry ) and plot revelations, and you just can't fit that into a 2 hour film. It is a bit like trying to fit Season 1 of Lost into a film. You could do it, as the plot isn't that complicated to be fair, but it's so much more than just pure plot.That said, I felt the Da Vinci Code movie was 'OK'. Quote:

Yeah I agree with you pretty much all over the court there Him. And I realize Angels and Demons (the book) was set before The Da Vinci Code, but I wouldn't be surprised if they set the film after the book (I can't really imagine it affecting anything..)

Ewan McGregor has also been cast I'm led to believe... at least that's what BBC news said

Incidentally, I like Tom Hanks, but he's so far off what I imagined Langdon to look like it's not funny. Quote:

A&D was a better book imo than DVC, so I can't wait to see what the film version of it looks like! But there is always that greater risk of dissapointment when one of your favourite books gets adapted for the big screen, but I thought DVC was a pretty decent film (apart from some pretty laughable scenes and plot points that didn't need to be changed), so I'm not too worried for A&D.

I agree with Ki on this A+D was the far superior book, but for some reason DVC gets all the credit. I am looking forward to this very much
 .And I dont know why, but I expected them to cast someone better looking than Tom Hanks to play Langdon. That said, I thought he did the role justice (when has Hanks not done a role justice???). |
