  Angels and Demons and Terminator: Salvation. Given Oluseyi's well-written critiques, I'll let him, if he chooses, to write those up. But I'll give a quick opinion piece on each.Angels and Demons: If you enjoyed the Da Vinci Code, you'll definitely enjoy this. Terminator: Salvation: Very disappointing. Given what came before it. It would have been better, IMO, if they started the storyline earlier in the resistance.   
  I'd like to see one for Transformers when it comes out, but that's probably a given due to its blockbusteryness.   ;  I saw Terminator Salvation yesterday. It's "meh." I should finish up a review sometime today, I guess. It's becoming harder to muster the drive to write reviews of films I felt were mediocre - it's why I never reviewed Wolverine: X-Men Origins. Maybe I'll roll the two into one, since I think they share similar flaws.As for Angels & Demons, I wasn't planning on seeing that (didn't see The DaVinci Code, don't like Dan Brown). Maybe you can persuade me otherwise?   ;Quote:Original post by OluseyiAs for Angels & Demons, I wasn't planning on seeing that (didn't see The DaVinci Code, don't like Dan Brown). Maybe you can persuade me otherwise?I saw Angels & Demons last Sunday evening and The DaVinci Code was on TV here the Sunday before that (which was the first time I'd seen it).I wouldn't get upset over missing The DaVinci Code as it was good for a bit, then dragged on too long and got boring.  However, I did enjoy Angels & Demons as it was a lot more action packed, shorter and had a more engaging storyline.YMMV I guess.;Quote:Original post by OluseyiAs for Angels & Demons, I wasn't planning on seeing that (didn't see The DaVinci Code, don't like Dan Brown). Maybe you can persuade me otherwise?Well, I found it to be severely lacking in entertainment value. The action manages to get your interest for 10 minute intervals before you have a WTF moment about the script. Sometimes it gets embarrassingly bad, the whole science-religion talk was rather silly and too in-your-face and they had that spooky choir music running for about half of the movie. Plus, though I'm not religious at all, if I were, especially catholic, I'd be rather pissed off about the idiocy spewed out about the church - at the end I was surprised they didn't anoint Tom Hanks as freaking Pope. All in all, a 3 out of 10.
