On Saturday I went to the movies for a mates birthday to see Angels and Demons. This may contain some spoilers for those who haven't read the book or seen the movie. What happened to the Diamond? (See Picture)
Did they just decide it was too confusing to be put into the movie? So they replaced it with the two keys? The diamond is meant to be the fifth brand and it's a big part of the story. Obviously the film makers didn't think so.
Not to mention they changed so much from the book. They had barely any character development like in the book. So much was changed from the book which is kind of disappointing for me. I held the book much higher than Da Vinci Codes book but in the case of movies, the Da Vinci Code is better.
But I still just cannot get my head around the diamond. What was the point of taking it out? It played a major role in the book only to be replaced by two crossing keys that have nothing to do with the Illuminati portrayed in the book. As a stand alone movie without reading the book or watching Da Vinci Code its a good movie. However to people who loved the book and the Da Vinci Code movie, don't get your hopes up. I really thought this one would be better than The Da Vinci Code purely because the book was better. I guess I was wrong.
However I still recomend this movie to anyone. It certainly isn't a bomb out. Just a disappointment.
