WTF! The "DaVinci Code" was a BAD movie...but here comes "Angels and Demons?"

[GTaudiophile]

Ron Howard, Tom Hanks, etc...

Angels & Demons Trailer (QT Required)

Oh, and here is the preview for the next Pixar movie: UP.

 

[Deeko]

I didn't think it was a bad movie. Just an overrated book.

 

[robphelan]

A&D was a superior book IMHO.

 

[sjwaste]

I liked the movie, didn't read the book. Heh.

 

[Baked]

Illuminati?

So the church is run by demons?

The pixar movie looks weak. Need to see more trailers.

 

[SN4p]

I liked A&D much better than Da Vinci Code. I have high hopes for this movie, as Da Vinci Code wasn't bad.

QuickTime = fail

 

[James3shin]

I'm down for UP!

Considering Dan Brown writes the same exact book every time, A&D was his best version of that book.

A Dan Brown book goes like this:

Step 1) Renowned expert in a field gets a wake up call to talk to some government service
Step 2) A love interest is introduced
Step 3) Some trusted figure betrays the main character
Step 4) Expert from step one solves the case, wins the love interest and strolls off into the sunset

The Da Vinci Code was better the first time around when it was called National Treasure. I was surprised that I actually liked National Treasure.

He is a good researcher of history but as a writer, his plot devices are atrocious.

hahahhaha. But ya, A&D is the best of Brown's formula. Damn, I read this book years ago, I guess I have to flip through again to remember the characters.

Looks pretty badass.

 

[waggy]

i couldnt finish the Davinci code. just a really bad book.

 

[AmpedSilence]

the Pixar movie looks interesting.

National Treasure was great mostly because of Nic Cage's suckage. I don't know what it is, but the more of his awful acting I see, the more I like his movies. I think I'm just starting to appreciate the fact that he's NOT trying to do an awesome job and just kind of does the same character in every movie. Sort of like how Christopher Walken put it to Conan O'Brien, "See, they have these things in parentheses before our lines in the script. Those are stage directions. I don't listen to those, I just say every line the same way."

 

[AmpedSilence]

Your A&D link is making my FF crash.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

It doesn't matter if The DaVinci Code was bad, it only matters if it made money. It did, oodles and oodles of money. I'm surprised it took them this long to do a sequel.

Technically it's a prequel.

That's an excellent observation that I agree with.
I think Nic Cage just plays a likable guy. I'm okay with it, and like most of his movies.

No.

He ripped off ONE (shitty/fallacious) non-fiction book. The authors even sued him.

QFT. I got a fourth of the way through and threw it away in disgust.

 

[Mo0o]

Angels and Demons will have more box office success since less people will have read it.

 

[Squisher]

I read the book and liked it. I can't remember now what it was, but one of the puzzle solutions was from so far out in left field it had me rereading the pages it was on like three times just to see if I missed something. I'm sure they'll fill the plot hole in the movie.

obviously, however something as awesome as QT (or Real) alternative shouldn't even be necessary
