November 29, 2009Good suspenseful thriller. At the end the Cardinals lines "'Religion is flawed because man is flawed.'' what a classic. . great story better than Da Vinci Code.

September 30, 2011fb729949618Once 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.

August 4, 2011It'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.

June 30, 2011This 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 favorite cha... read more

May 3, 2011This is actually a bit better than The Da Vinci Code and a much better adapted story. This takes a lot of liberties with the source material and makes it so much more believable and interesting. It takes away all the cheesy elements, including a flying Langdon and paraplegic prof... read more

April 17, 2011This prequel to the ealier film The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons is a fast-paced code cracking thriller that looks incredidbly beautiful, boasts some impressive visual effects, an fantastic score by Hans Zimmer, and a touching and perfect performance by Armin Mueller-Stahl as... read more

November 13, 2010"Religion is flawed because man is flawed."
As a book, 'Angels & Demons' came out before 'Da Vinci Code'. The huge success of the later one resulted in this film sequel. Nothing was rewritten per se, but the events of 'Da Vinci Code' are briefly mentioned. 'Da Vinci Code' had it... read more -

August 5, 2010Very good movie! Very well made and I actually like this one more than The Da Vinci Code for real! Nothing much to say, just that people create so many stories out of the air, seems like the religious version of National Treasure.
Despite his notorious relationship with the Ch... read more

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? Full Review

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? Full Review

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

Angels and Demons is an OK action film, but only the humorless will find it heretical -- or educational. Full Review

Kyle Smith, New York Post
Angels & Demons has some exciting sequences, a spectacular ending with a terrific twist and a grounding in the debate about science versus religion that could hardly be more timely. Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Angels and Demons is a truly handsome production, seamlessly mixing real locations with beautifully detailed sets. There are a few good performances here, and some thrills. Yet there's a flatness to t... Full Review

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

Christopher Orr, New Republic
[T]he film does not conclude with Langdon being elected Pope himself, but, watching the spiraling inanities of the last 20 minutes, one might be forgiven for thinking it would be the next logical step. Full Review
