Advantages: Such a deep and in depth film
Disadvantages: Characters could be developed

...Angels and Demons was released May this year, I watched the Da Vinci Code and therefore felt it a responsibility to watch Angels and Demons.

Some would say that it?s easy to direct a film that was a book, however I think its even harder, You have to make the film suspenseful, people who read the book might no the outcome of the film, but if you put enough thought into it you can still make the intrigued. Plot: The film begins with the setting of a scientific experiment at the CERN centre in Switzerland, were... Read review
