''Religion is flawed because man is flawed.'' Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon works to solve a murder and prevent a terrorist act against the Vatican. Tom Hanks: Robert Langdon Ron Howard's sequel to The Da Vinci Code has a battle between religion and science. Controversy from it's predecessor, is sadly extinct, Angels and Demons is more of a thriller than an actual historical revelation of mythological proportions. This is a heavy dose of shadowy secret groups, and a villain interested in serving his own paradoxical ways to the Church. So Angels & Demons begins with our protagonist being called upon by the Vatican for help, because this time, the Pope has died. The four candidates for new pope kidnapped, and bizaare anti-matter planted somewhere in the city which is ...Read more

Enkelit ja Demonit oli, jos mahdollista, vielä Da Vinci -koodiakin surkeampi. Tom Hanks oli suurin piirtein yhtä yllätyksekäs ja ilmeikäs kuin villalapanen.

Kun kirja perustui pitkälti yksityiskohtiin ja niiden perusteella ratkaisun löytämiseen, oli elokuvaversiossa (osittain ymmärrettävästi, kylläkin) vedetty mutkia suoriksi. Kun kirjakaan ei ollut mikään elämää suurempi teos, niin ei liene ihme elokuvaversion seuraavan samaa linjaa. Jostain syystä kuitenkin odotin parempaa.

"Our church is at war. We are under attack from an old enemy. The Illuminati. They have struck us from within and threatening us all with destruction from their new god Science." Three years after the screen adaptation of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code stormed the box office and became one of the decade's most profitable movies, the inevitable sequel Angels & Demons (also based on a novel by Brown) steps up to bat. Brown's Angels & Demons novel was written as a visceral and concise action-thriller, directly contrasting the more famous but ponderous Da Vinci Code. With the filmmakers able to infuse this Angels & Demons adaptation with suspense, thrills and a larger scale, the novel was certainly a more Hollywood-friendly property. It seems the filmmakers have also learned a number of less...Read more

Great movie. As good as the first part, The DaVinci Code. Tom Hanks is a great actor and this role suits him perfectly. The movie has everything: mystery, drama, action. Is as good as it can get. I loved it.

I was thoroughly disappointed with the Da Vinci Code that I wasn't sure if I wanted to see Angels & Demons. But see it I did and I actually had a good time. The writers have made a wise move in setting Angels & Demons soon after the events of The Da Vinci Code. Here, Robert Langdon's expertise as a symbologist is needed to solve a series of murders and prevent a terrorist plot on the Vatican City. The changes made from book to screen make for a tighter, faster-paced movie except for Langdon's tendency to over-explain things which makes it drag at times. I felt the first five minutes of the film could have done with just a touch of exposition because I was bit confused. However, once Langdon reaches Rome and race against the clock begins, I was riveted to the screen. Rome is marvel...Read more
