Miscellaneous Movie Musings

It was definitely better than The Da Vinci code, but that is a low bar.

The ultimate conclusion was too obvious but didn't really matter. And, the justification given at the end for what was happening made no sense in that it did nothing to deal with that which was claimed as the cause.

But it had better energy and tempo than the first and it was a very nice replay (in locations) of our week in Rome last October. Hardly a location that we weren't standing in just months ago (though most of those locations were actually sets since no permission was given to film in church-owned facilities. Must be a daunting task for a set-building team to be told "Sistine Chapel, please."
