. . .
There wasn't a single plot twist, and even the element of betrayal in the film was known from the start.
So we've gone from "This film sucks; its not original enough!" to "This film sucks; there areb't enough plot twists!".

I love it how you referenced Angels and Demons, since Dan Brown is the logical conclusion of your "Moar plot twists!" argument.
Angels and Demons - as with every single one of Brown's novels - uses plot twists in lieu of, well, plot.

Story =/= Plot Twists.
