Do you remember all the buzz surrounding The Da Vinci Code? I remember reading the book and thinking, “that’s it?” I never understood why people got so worked-up over a work of fiction. For me, a novel doesn’t have a lot of impact on my personal faith. But back in the heady days of the book’s popularity I was in the minority.
Now here we are with Angels & Demons the “stunning sequel” and I find myself once again, nonplussed. I watched the last movie, mostly out of curiosity and was no more impressed with it than I was with the weak-kneed book that preceded it. I think I’ll save my $20 and skip the movie this time around.
In some ways it feels like people expected this movie to have the same buzz as DVC but from where I’m sitting, no one is talking about it. There have been some great debates raging about X-Men Origins: Wolverine

It’s like the two kids who hated each other in middle school passing each other in the halls of a high school. Everyone takes a collective breath to see what will happen only to find it’s high school now. Having matured another year, they simply pass on by without a word. Here’s hoping Angels & Demons just keeps walking. I’m ready for a real summer blockbuster.
Am I missing the allure of this series of films? Did you love The Da Vinci Code? Will you line-up to see Angels & Demons?
