I only read The Da Vinci Code, but I saw both movies. I thought the book Da Vinci Code was a good thriller and page turner, but pretty thin when it came to characters, though the same can be said for most thriller novels. The movie Da Vinci Code I didn't like quite as much as the book. I thought Tom Hanks and Ian McKellan couldn't get past the fact that their characters where really thin. But I felt the film did alright with the presenting the book's themes, though it allowed that to take the focus away from the mystery/thriller aspect.

Angels and Demons I didn't read the book but I liked the movie a lot more than Da Vinci. This is probably because I hadn't read the book, or at least I think so. Because I hadn't I had no clue who did what, I didn't know what would happen next, so that allowed me to get into it more. I thought Tom Hanks did a much better job with this one. It felt more like thriller and didn't allow it's themes to over-ride that. Though the climax was over the top, the resolution of the plot I liked in the end. Overall I liked Angels and Demons more than The Da Vinci Code. It had more of an Indiana Jones feel to it, and worked much better.
