James Bond goes to Church



The name is Langdon, Robert Langdon.

"Angels and Demons" came out today. Ron Howards follow up to the DaVinci Code based on another Dan Brown Book.  This book was actually written first, but in the movie it is switched.
I read both books (listened), and in a point of full disclosure, I like the movies better because the books are extremely long, preachy and rewrites the history of the world, art, religion, and science in a new more fascinating way.  Old Dan and Ron are great at stirring up the religious world.  They don't disappoint this time either.  Tom Hanks is back as Robert L who is a noted expert from Harvard who spends his whole life looking at symbols to find the real truth.  But in every movie he acts like when he get to the location (say the Vatican) he acts like he had no clue these signs would be there.  he has 4 hours to figure out something that he has studied for 10 years without a clue.  Well, just remember Bond.  It is good action

Just wait till the fall when Dan Brown's new Robert Langdon story come out.  Dan is writing about the Masons.  You think the Catholics are mad!

Any way I give it **1/2 stars (still too preachy and history changing for me)

It goes good with Milk Duds though.
