This film is based on the ungood book by Dan Brown. As the book is written in a style that is not good I thought I would write my review about this bad film & its badness in the same style Mr Brown does his books when he writes his books. In short the silly film is not a good film, as the silly film is boring and dull and is not a good film. Even a competent director as Ron Howard can't make the silly film unsilly, as its based on the poorly written book which resulted in the film being ungood.

Tom Hanks runs around and explains the plot to his female sidekick. Haven't I seen this film before? Actually, it's not Hanks' fault, Dan Brown is just stupid and Ron Howard really needs to try harder. The plot & plot twists are dumb and predictable and the characters are all great big stereotypes. I'd predict this to be the dumbest film of 2009 if I didn't know Transformers 2 is coming out. Better than Da Vinci Code the same way a kick in the shin is better than in the balls.

Tom Hanks knows a lot about a lot of old shit. Everyone else is hesitant to believe. Ewan McGregor is a hero. But not really. I don't care. Just kill some damn Catholics or something. Or not. Whatever.

Kind of like Frank Llyod Wright designing a port a potty, it may look good but its still just a place to shit. The mythology stuff can be interesting, but the plot is entirely predictable and Robert Langdon remains the most boring, characterless hero of all time. Actually I take that back, there is no way Ron Howard can be compared to Frank Lloyd Wright.

I imagined it would be hard to fit all the stuff from the novel into a movie but they did an acceptable job. The plot is nothing that will blow your mind and at times it can be predictable and quite convenient for the main characters to figure out a clue. Fortunately, the fast-paced plot keeps you from noticing too much and they wisely left out the terribly forced romantic angle from the book as well. Some good looking scenery and a strong performance by McGregor make this worth at least a watch

National Treasure and Seven have a love child. Once you overcome the unbelievability of some of the plot turns and some special Ron Howard touches that add that sugary, hollywood, chris columbus-esque vibe to the film you get a pretty decent thriller. I enjoyed, it's a nice, middle of the road summer blockbuster. Not as good as Star Trek.

Last 40 minutes r briskly entertaining, unlike the first 80. There's also a great scene where Hanks tries 2 save a cardinal from forced drowning that actually thrills & has u on the edge of ur seat, so y's the rest so unrelentingly dull? Like the entirety of the 1st film, this 1 rushes thru far 2 many riddles that completely forego the "Oh, yeah, that's right!" moments in its audience any good riddle provides, unless they majored in Vatican Arcana. Surely the novels provide more colorful detail.

Combination of good and weak areas (on a couple of occasions, absurd--e.g. what the crowd didn't do at the end) but fairly good entertainment overall. Pretty good recruitment film for the Catholic Church, and as with the first one, there's no way to find out how accurate the portrayal of many of the facts concerning the Vatican are. Ewan McGregor a high point.

Ewan McGregor was a positive but as far as the rest of the movie went, not so much. Plays like a religious "National Treasure" but all the same is just as ridiculous. Despite the story also being ridiculous, it was too busy falling down its own plot holes to notice.

Solid entertainment. I enjoy this franchise, I don't care about the whiners who can't. Just because Hanks and Howard are involved doesn't mean it has to be the best thing since sliced bread. A dark, suspenseful thriller. I expect no more, thus I am rewarded.

I'll definitely admit that this is better than The Da Vinci Code but honestly that's not a tall bar to surpass. By the end of this film you'll be completely motion sick of the camera CONSTANTLY rotating around something to setup what feels like every single scene. However, Ewan McGregor really shines in this, for the majority of the movie at least. In the end this is a missable film unless you loved the first, and really you shouldn't because it wasn't very good either.

Leagues above the Da Vinci Code in many functions, Angels and Demons is indubitably the paramount over its far inconsistent and contradictory predecessor. Tom Hanks has a superior acting role though a bit exaggerated and Ewan McGregor truly shines above the other deliquents. But as usual, you can't find any remotely accurate facts concerning the idea, a staggering flaw in the novels as well. Oh well, Someone will get it right eventually.

I knew it was going to be bad, I really knew it, and I just couldn't keep myself from watching the train wreck. It's even worse than The DaVinci Code. Wooden acting, *even* by Ewan (he should've just run like hell from this stinker!), preposterous plot (I *hate* it when authors/writers/directors/creators treat us the readers/spectators as idiots!), the whole nine yards of awful.

Having read the book and marked it as Dan Brown's best novel, I was really curious about this movie. I saw the extended version. Even it was 2 and a half hours, lots of details were missing, some of the characters that I really liked in the book were cut out, there were some changes which made the movie dull. Not a bad movie, better than the Da Vinci Code, but I'm disappointed.

Decent movie. Better than Da Vinci Code. Story is stupid and very hard to belief but in a way you still want to know how it ends. Has some stupid parts , but was fun to watch and see a driven Tom Hanks playing Robert Langdon. And a bit predicatble aswel but because of the high speed of the movie it won't bother you. Really Really loved the musical score by Hans Zimmer. He really deserves the credit for it , makes it a better movie !

Improvement of action from Da Vinci Code is a lot. Haven't read the book, but the story does not give much new for the idea. Even religion is a fight for a power. I hated the needlessly extented ending which was evident from the start. And a constant run, church per an hour. I do not want to make a sightseen like that in Vatican.

I was really shocked when I watched this.. The Da Vinci Code was a disaster, but this one is really good! Now I belief Hanks as Robert Langdon. I really love all the little details and the cameramovements. The scenes are exciting, but maybe at times a bit too fast. I have only one huge remark: what the hell happenned with Maximilian Kohler? One of the most intruiging persons of the book is simply missing in the film... What a pitty

spends far too much time explaining what the hell they're talking about every time they make a referance to history or religion--which is quite often. apart from the obligatory ten second back story every three minutes it fills the remainder with exciting suspense and some quite interesting action.

While the novel was an interesting fictional adventure that delves into the ideas of science and religion both being right, the movie just kindof glosses over that part to get to the meat of the thriller. What ends up on screen is basically a grim "National Treasure" which fails because "National Treasure" is at least suppose to be fun.

Not a lot better than the first, but at least it's less ponderous -- certainly Langdon's exposi-thons are less grating here, thanks to the ticking time bomb element of the plot (literally a ticking time bomb). There still really isn't anything to Langdon himself, but never mind. The movie's "Die Hard: With a Vengeance" by way of Dan Brown. If that sounds like something you'd want to see, I can't imagine you'd be disappointed, but I won't exactly set up a statue pointing to the theater.

I have not read the book, but this movie was similar to the Da Vinci Code. Not sure if the movie is the true representation of the book. The movie is extremely predictable never kept you on the edge. The only reason I saw this movie in a stretch was because it was freezing outside. Its a movie that one can pass. The only reason I gave it higher score than what I should was for the visuals of the Vatican.

I was a little disappointed as there's something missing from A and D which was there in The Da Vinci Code. Perhaps its because the film isn't so faithful to the book or just because everything is such at an unnesscarily pace it's just ridiculous. Asides that, it's you're average pop-corn film that paces the time. I did enjoy it though, just not as much as I thought I would. Highlight of the film is Ewen McGregor....watch out for him!

As a reader of the book: I felt the movie was an improvement on the book. It made the film feel a bit more epic, plus it removed a few idiocies in the original story, unfortunately it didn't get them all. So where I'd rate the book "Entertaining," I'd rate the movie "Enjoyable."

Tries hard to stay interesting but ultimately the plot ends up being convoluted for the twist's sake. There aren't really any puzzles, which you'd expect from a movie about a symbologist chasing illuminati. Really all he does is look for angel statues pointing in certain directions. Yawn.

I can't comment on the adaptation of the one because I haven't read the book, but it was an alright film. Tom Hanks is fine, but they don't exactly make his character very interesting. His female counterpart in this one was dull too. Ewan McGregor was better, I guess. I liked the elements of symbolism and the dark side of religion. The story was just all a bit too formulaic and pretty predictable.

Angels & Demons is for those of you who liked the puzzle solving in The Da Vinci Code, but otherwise thought the story required too much thought. This one is easy to follow, requires almost no explanation, but also isn't as interesting to me because of that. It's a film where characters go from locale to locale with little more purpose than "the stature pointed that way." But it's tightly paced and kind of exciting, even if it needed more depth to its plot and characters.

Angels & Demons is a straight-forward suspense movie just like the Da Vinci Code. I really like the smart, Indiana Jones type character. Tom Hanks and Ewan McGregor do a good job in this movie as the main characters and the rest of the cast is pretty well casted. The guy who played the main villain did a really good job too. My second time watching the movie allowed me to watch it without thinking about the twists and turns and focus on how the movie set up those twists and turns.

Deliriously entertaining mystery thriller potboiler makes considerable stylistic changes to put itself streets ahead of the disappointing DA VINCI - including investing the whole enterprise with a delightful tongue in cheek tone, and for the most part ditching the over reverent style. While it does slow down in the last 20 minutes for its fairly predictable climax, it overall succeeds in being an excellent boys own adventure with tons of fun (if imbued with questionable logic).

More action than the first one overall, but a lot of silliness and ridiculous parts, a lot barely hanging by a thread of sense.

Fuck it, I'll say it, Dan Brown is a good author. Not the highest quality literature, but they are fun and cleverly conceived. And even the bullshit conspiracy stuff is enough to peak an interest so that you may actually look up the Illuminati or anti-matter. This movie did a poor job of peaking any interest in anything, including itself.

Being a sequel I was worried that I wouldn't quite get this film as I hadn't seen the first. Not so, it supports itself and has it's own self contained plot. The best thing is, it's clever, it works, a film about thinking but then not always winning. The location work is excellent capturing the necessary details. Ewan McGregor's character is perhaps overly misleading but a satisfying twist to the tale.

To be perfectly honest I can't remember the original that well. All I know is that both The DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons are kind of harmless low-brow conspiracy/mystery popcorn experiences.

"Angels and Demons" ups the ante where "The Da Vinci Code" is concerned, and for that reason alone, this sequel feels more entertaining than it has any right to be. Tom Hanks and Ron Howard still deliver that "roll-your-eyes at every-clue-and-find" vibe that apparently made the National Treasure films so popular. At least this film has moments of excitement, tension, and suspense in light of its goofy plot, whereas "Da Vinci" had a goofy plot, but was duller than a doorknob.

Actually manages to be pretty engaging at times, something the first movie never was, but there are some moments that are genuinely bereft of any sort of tension (Vatican Library when airlocked, anyone) and then they end in such a way that they beg to be punctuated by some tenuous and nervous audience laughter. It's an odd choice and a mistake a movie you know is going to be mediocre can't afford to make. Ayelet Zurer, on the other hand, is a fucking pleasure to look at. I'd totally pee in her.
