Angels & Demons & Duds

.
Wonderful images of Rome and Vatican City. Sweeping aerial shots of St. Peter's Square. Stunning panoramas of classic paintings, statuary, and architecture.

A 150 million dollar travel log.

The scenes of the cardinals conducting conclave feel as authentic as a coffee commercial made for Folgers, and the depiction of the Swiss Guard, and scenes inside the Vatican also feel lacking in verisimilitude. This turkey has the typical idiot plot, and if the dialogue can be muted on the DVD that would be tremendous. Directed by Ron Howard. My ass.
