5.18 After watching, the middle distance is in the standard (including spoilers, be careful)

I watched it at the Royal Cinema on the edge of New York Times Square on 5.18. The ticket cost $12.5, the popcorn was $4, and the attendance rate was about 90%. The popularity is worse than I expected. After all, it is a new film that premiered on 5.15. Moreover, it is estimated that most of them have never read the original work, because when they appeared on the stage, many people still heard that the waiter was a gangster. The

script of the movie is really free to play, and many plots in the original work have been deleted. To give a few examples:

1. Originally, Dad Victoria was killed and then branded with light. In the film, he became a researcher of Euronuclear, and the branding was not mentioned.
2. Then there was no fragment of the murderer revealing the news to the media, and the symmetry word was almost taken in one stroke.
3 I don’t know if it was due to the pressure of the Vatican Holy See in reality. The last cardinal in the movie was not drowned but was rescued by Langdon and finally became the new pope;
4. It is estimated that it was due to the pressure of the Vatican Holy See. In the movie, there is no accusation of the servants of the deceased pope for enjoying the blessings of science. It is just an understatement that the pope is poisoned to create a crisis and strengthen people's beliefs (and there is no narrative about the relationship between the servants and the pope)
. CERN Kohler, but rather the commander of the Swiss Guard, if not say it was Luanqiang killed;
6. black Fiends died decent, not as original as to be in Victoria to join hands with Langdon to kill, but rather the When he ran away from the housekeeper, his mouth was blown out by a car explosion;
7.The death portrayal of the housekeeper in the original book is very divine. In the movie, the housekeeper is completely desperate and burns himself, completely losing his beauty;
8.The original book shows Langdon and the housekeeper. We boarded the helicopter together, but in the movie it was the servant driving the helicopter and Langdon was standing in the square and watching the sky foolishly.
9. In the end, Langdon and Victoria didn't have any love sparks, and the feeling of a movie came down to me. There is no heroine in this film, and there is at most one supporting actress;

After all, the movie has only a limited time to interpret the story. The interesting religious knowledge in the original book is reduced to a flash of Professor Langdon for a few minutes or even a few seconds in the movie. It is disappointing. There is no very clear and detailed line of reasoning. The movie did not show the religious connotation to the audience. This is not as good as the Da Vinci Code. After reading the latter, you will find some interesting knowledge points, but the traces of the former commercial film are relatively heavy and belong to the category of lunch. The sequel.

Some plots of the original work have been forgotten. If you are so familiar with the original work, you will definitely find that watching this movie is a very interesting "look for the difference", so I suggest not to go to the cinema with the mentality of reviewing the original work. Because you will see another completely different "angel and devil", the best way: forget the original, hold a bunch of popcorn, and watch it as a new movie, then you won't complain like me.

Ps: The scene of the antimatter explosion is very dazzling, but the special effect is still very NB
