Angels & Demons

Was in Malacca during the weekend. A former port, with some good food and an entertaining shopping mall.

Caught this one. It moves along at a brisker pace than Da Vinci Code that it is not as thought-provoking. After the quite interesting premise, the way it wraps up is also pretty dim-witted and hollow. And I can see from a mile away the main villain.

It's nothing more than National Treasure with religion and ancient sculptures. Quite pathetic also that they only saved one quarter of the detainees.

Tom Hanks doesn't do much in the way of acting chops. The heroine is superfluous.

Nice with the itinerary of the Vatican and Rome, though. And Ewan MacGregor is one of my fave actors, though a bit underused here.

Passable. 4.5 out of 10 stars.
