Hanks vs. Bond

Angels and Demons
Director:Ron Howard
Writer:Akiva Goldsman
Distributor: Sony / Columbia
Release Date: May 15, 2009

The beginning of a giant franchise – Christianity + Bond = Angels and Demons

Unlike Bond with his ultra-cool lethal designer gadgets, Tom Hanks is armed with unfathomable knowledge of weird mythological symbols. Bond has exotic, sensual, often dangerous Bond girls. Meet the dark-haired, educated, “I care about man-kind” Hanks girls. Bond movies feature crazy scientists and politicians. Here we have religious maniacs who enjoy nothing more than torturing themselves…

It’s a highly interesting hybrid -- Catholic people’s customized action-adventure thrillers. Sort of like the world fulfils old conservative Republicans’ need for babes by giving them Miss California.
