Went and saw this tonight and it was good, though *spoiler* the fact that they’d cast Ewan McGregor meant he was obviously the bad guy. I mean, Tom hanks was in it (the only role he ever plays is the good guy) and the usual story structure meant Ewan McGregor could only be playing the opposing role. Knowing this also meant I spent the entire film waiting for the plot point of when you officially find he’s el-bad-man-o.
I’m getting really good at ignoring the fact that Tom Hanks is in a film these days. I’ve been sick of seeing him for more than 10 years because he’s always playing the same role. I had to convince Oui to see Angels and Demons with me because my usual film buddy also despises Tom Hanks, just much more so. It’s good to have a friend who also thinks The Green Mile was absolute rubbish too (also a Tom hanks film – coincidence?).
