    a good visual from what i remember from the book, but none of the intrigue or drama
  • January 27, 2010
    It was like watching someone play Assassins Creed 2 but with no climbing, stealth kills, and flashbacks.

    It's even better than The Da Vinci Code, way better. A masterpiece. Director, Ron Howard has done it again, crafting a film that's even better than the first and one of his best films ever. An awesome, stylish, thrilling, well-crafted and exhilarating edge of your seat thriller....( read more) A first-class, fast-paced and sensational movie. An instant classic. It keeps your pulse-pounding with searing suspense and explosive action from start to finish. It delivers a twist at the end that will blow you away. A breathtaking and adrenaline-pumping thrill-ride. It has your heart-pounding on the excitement meter all the way. A tremendously entertaining and spectacular action-packed thriller. A real knockout with a top-notch all-star cast all delivering great performances. Tom Hanks is at his best, showing a more intense, compelling and exciting side to the character of Robert Langdon. Ewan McGregor is brilliant. Stellan Skarsgard is excellent. Ayelet Zurer is terrific.

    weirdly enough, another dan brown film that fares way better on paper than film, maybe because of his books' ludicrous and expository nature. give it a pass - even on DVD.
  • December 7, 2009
    I liked this one unlike the "prequel" I dont know if Da Vinci code is its prequel. Why I liked this was because there were not much spoilers to read before this Movie came out, the problem with Da Vinci Code, many people pre-reviewed the Movie and when I finally saw it, I though...( read more)t I was watching it for a second time.

    Cuando has visto saw, sabes cuando viene un Twist... y fue muy predecible, pero la historia en general es buena :D

    Angels and Demons actually surprised me and turned out to be a somewhat decent movie. I really did not like The Da Vinci Code at all, but I also had read the book for it, and it was a horrible translation to film. Angels and Demons on the other hand I did not read the book, which...( read more) is probably why I liked it.

    It's no award winning movie or anything, it definitely has it's flaws, but it has a lot of fun moments, and a couple decent twists in the mix. But if you read the book you may hate it, not sure how well it compares.
  • February 5, 2010
    A very entertaining experience with a nice twist in the end.
  • February 4, 2010
    Without a doubt, one of the best movies I've seen. Based on Dan Brown's book, Tom Hanks & Ron Howard team again.

Critic Reviews

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Ron Howard's follow-up to the stiff, stately 2006 The Da Vinci Code, might have been classy, entertaining junk -- if only it were entertaining. full review

May 15, 2009
Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times

Ron Howard directs a pell-mell script (David Koepp, Akiva Goldman) with more agility than he showed in Code. Though the story suffers intermittent daftness. full review

May 14, 2009
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Angels & Demons is better, though not by much, than 2006's Da Vinci Code. The story, however, is less interesting and even more far-fetched. full review

May 14, 2009
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Without pretensions to profundity, the movie can be enjoyed for the hell-raising hooey it is. full review

May 14, 2009
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

It's too lurid, too long. Too much is telegraphed. full review

May 14, 2009
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Angels & Demons, without being particularly good, is nonetheless far less hysterical than The Da Vinci Code. full review

May 14, 2009
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

This kind of film requires us to be very forgiving, and if we are, it promises to entertain. Angels & Demons succeeds. full review

May 13, 2009
Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com

The perfect summer entertainment, an exhilarating, heart-stopping thriller that doesn't let up for a minute. full review

May 13, 2009
Armond White, The New York Press

This overwrought chase/final-countdown movie is as banal as the genre comes. It's not a well-made action film; it's just expensively made. full review

May 11, 2009
David Edelstein, New York Magazine

The streets of Rome haven't run this red since the Inquisition. full review

    hon's movie 'angels and demons' was a great work although a little bit different what i read in the book.Vetra's daughter Vitoria was not around when her father was killed according to d book but in the movie she was the one who actually saw his dead body first.apart from such differences, it was a great work generally.

    there are something real in the film!but I think they want to cover the realiti of some other with the film!it shows many real thing,with actions,it's good but did the world know the spiritual value of this film?no!!

    If the 4th Cardinal had died, my $5 ticket was a waste, but haleluia it was totally worth it!

    I have to say the movie was good but too confusing, if I hadn't read the book i would have been lost! The book is way better. I didn't like that Vetra's father was excluded!obviously you cannot include everything in the movie if so it would have been a 4 hour movie!! but i also have to say that it would have been more interesting if they had deepen the Illuminati mystery and the simbols like the pyramid in the dollar bill.

    of course they will fuck it up like they did The Davinci Code...good book,intriguing and if they can keep true to it a movie to watch.

    I read Angels and Demons about 2 years ago.
    I gotta say, I loved it.
    I love Dan Brown's work. I've read all his books so far and still waiting for the new one to come out.
