Critic Reviews

  • Jonathan F. Richards, Film.com

    Why are quality pros like Howard and Hanks involved in this enterprise? Do they need the money? Angels and Demons is sure to make plenty. But their artistic souls will do hard time in purgatory for it.

  • Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

    At one point Hanks can be glimpsed gasping for air, mid-endless-sentence. Has there ever been a flatter movie character played by a more innately likable star?

  • Ben Lyons, At the Movies

    This is not a good movie.

  • Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies

    We're left to wonder, who in the Vatican can really be trusted? And also, will Ron Howard continue to make movies about a character who comes alive on the page, but sputters on the big screen?

  • David Denby, New Yorker

    If these movies made any damned sense, the public response might be no more than a yawn.

  • Eric A


    Once again going against the grain for the sequel! I too thought this one was awesome. It kept going full steam and didn't lose pace from the first, I even thought it was better.

  • Alexander D


    It's not that bad of a movie (I can't say all that much, since I never read the source novel), but it can get boring in some parts.

  • Emily A


    This movie is pretty cool, but I can't say that I liked how it painted the Catholic church as the good guys. Apart from that, it's a really good time. I'm a huge fan of following geniuses follow secret signs and symbols and solve puzzles to get from here to there. My… More
