Angels and Demons and Agnostic Harvard Symbologists, Oh My!

Jun 08, 2009 11:08

Okay, I finally saw Angels and Demons, the sequel to The DaVinci Code, in which Symbology Professor Robert Langton (Tom Hanks) is once again called upon to solve a problem for the Vatican using clues that were literally under their noses the whole time, but that they couldn't do anything with because they'd forgotten 90% of their own organizational ( Read more... )

It was a silly movie. I felt like the trailers were better than the actual flick. I kept laughing at things, and I don't think they were meant to be funny. Like when RL finally manages to break open the wall of the vault, and two minutes later, the air comes back on. Like every time RL goes into this special amazing vault, he destroys something.

The suspension of disbelief just didn't work well enough for me to enjoy the movie. WHY is a super-model scientist helping on this symbology chase? WHY is one guy able to kidnap, brand and execute four guys in public places all by his lone self?

It was a silly movie. I expected more!

I kind of expected it to be silly, and was rolling my eyes at exactly HOW MUCH silliness I was getting, and then was pleasantly surprised at the sudden plot-twist that miraculously made it a little less silly. But yeah, all in all it was still pretty damn silly. I was both laughing at it, and thinking "Damn, they could have done better with this!"

I don't know if you got my response to your response in my journal. My journal or my email or both are going haywire. Your post came through several times in email but not in my LJ. The same thing happened with my friend Jo. I locked the post until the emails stop.

At any rate, thank you for your thoughts. (((HUGS)))

No, I didn't get your response before you had to take the post down. Hope LJ manages to sober itself up.

I am glad that I sent you a message to your LJ then. The total tally was 73 emails from that post including 2 missing. Yours is showing up as a blank placeholder as is one from my friend Jo.

At any rate, the deluge seems to have stopped. Back to my regularly scheduled LJ Posting.

Whee! Ow!
