Brilliant Watch, Disappointing End!
A Customer from SW London,

Like the Da Vinci Code, this instalment of Dan Brown's next saga following the adventures of Robert Langdon, was just as good as the original although the end left me disappointed. I haven't read Dan Brown's books so I am not interested in comparing how truthful the movie was to the book. I have learnt that movies do not always have to be like the book.In reality a movie has it's limitations and in writing a book the limitations are removed. As a movie, it certainly kept the viewer interested from beginning to end. I had hoped that the end would leave the viewer with more questions marks regarding the Illuminati instead, all the loose ends were carefully sorted and answered just in time for the credit roll,which was quite frankly a let down.Brown's ideal to marry the church and science in a peaceful pact in the end was what I call a sloppy, lazy ending. Being an ex-catholic and knowing full well that the Catholic Church have tried for so many years to surpress any opposing thoughts to the Church's doctrine I was hoping this aspect would be explored more fully instead of being conveniently labelled as 'flawed men doing God's work'. Nevertheless still a good watch, I just wish more challenging movies on the subject matter were made.
