Oh I'm definitely with you on that one. There's so much that you can put into a book that can't be fleshed out in a two hour movie.
The Da Vinci Code is a great example. They tried to cram a lot of it into Tom Hanks narrative. It doesn't work,the movie feels rushed. It did good numbers at the box office because of the hype surrounding the book even though it was crap.
Good enough to green light the prequel Angels & Demons which again I can't see being any good for the same reasons.
I didn't think the DVC was that great of a book in general.It was ok but the hype was bigger than the book. I did enjoy looking up the works of DaVinci to see Brown's implications rang true. It was interesting stuff but the churches indignation at Brown's plot felt like a bit of crying over spilt milk. Made him a lot of money though.:yes:
I enjoyed Angels & Demons more but I can't see the movie having the supernatural ending that the book had.
