Star Trek and Angels & Demons - Reviews

We went to see two movies this week. The first was Start Trek. I grew up watching the original series, and I thought this was a great movie! The characters were all there, and James T. Kirk was as reckless as ever. In this movie, he wasn't always the victor in the fights he got into--which made him more believable in my opinion. His lack of discipline wouldn't likely get him far in peacetime. Fortunately for him they were at war.

The second movie was Angels & Demons. This movie was painful to watch, as it became so long, drawn out and predictable. Tom Hanks' character figured out all of the clues at the last minute and had to convince reluctant Vatican police to help him get to the next one. Director Ron Howard should be forced to watch this movie for six months, non-stop--since it seemed like it took that long for this movie to finally get over with.
