The screenplay of Dan Brown's Angels & Demons inexplicably misses out large chunks of what is an easy-to-read novel. I always try to separate film and novel versions of the same story and judge them as different entities, but I couldn't hide how unimpressed I was with the film. I think the disappointment was mainly due to the truncation of half of the novel as mentioned above, but also due to the large amounts of unnecessary dialogue making what was a fast paced novel trudge and wade its way along.
