Angels & Demons
Has anyone seen this film as of yet? If so is it any good? Debating if i should go see it..The first film was good, but we all know that most sequels have a history of becoming a bag of sh@te....

Yeah I enjoyed it. A bit better-paced than the Da Vinci Code and it avoids some of the more ridiculous elements of the book.

I liked it - it's good if you can suspend disbelief at the silly things, like a university symbologist fighting crime.
Give Leon a kick and tell him to get to work!

It is a source of ceaseless amazement to me how people take exception to elements stated in a work of fiction!
The great authors went to extreme lengths to substantiate their stories with in depth research of the subject of their novels, or short stories! I've never heard anyone take exception to Eco's assertions in "The Name of the Rose", or "Foucault’s Pendulum". In arguably his greatest short story Nathanial Hawthorne used the entire first page to explaining how "Rapacinni's Daughter" was translated from a fictitious French Author! Poe so thoroughly researched his subjects that he was very comfortable expressing his stories as fact. S.A.C. Doyle wrote Holmes as if it was real detective work. Dan Brown is just following in a tradition that is time tested, but more importantly most effective!May the forza be with you

what debate between church and science?
the book is fiction, and a good one, but nothing else, or what's next? Harry Potter is actually a true story?Fan of Timo Glock and proud of it! :champion: 3 podiums, new start as a Virgin :p
