Amazon.co.uk Review

If the devil is in the details, there's a lot of wicked fun in Angels & Demons, the sequel (originally a prequel) to The Da Vinci Code. Director Ron Howard delivers edge-of-your-pew thrills all over the Vatican, the City of Rome, and the deepest, dankest catacombs. Tom Hanks is dependably watchable in his reprised role as Professor Robert Langdon, summoned urgently to Rome on a matter of utmost urgency--which happens to coincide with the death of the Pope, meaning the Vatican is teeming with cardinals and Rome is teeming with the faithful. A religious offshoot group, calling themselves the Illuminati, which protested the Catholic Church's prosecution of scientists 400 years ago, has resurfaced and is making extreme, and gruesome, terrorist demands.

The film zooms around the city, as Langdon follows clues embedded in art, architecture, and the very bone structure of the Vatican. The cast is terrific, including Ewan McGregor, who is memorable as a young protégé of the late pontiff, and who seems to challenge the common wisdom of the Conclave just by being 40 years younger than his fellows when he lectures for church reform. Stellan Skarsgard is excellent as a gruff commander of the Swiss Guard, who may or may not have thrown in with the Illuminati. But the real star of the film is Rome, and its High Church gorgeousness, with lush cinematography by Salvatore Totino, who renders the real sky above the Vatican, in a cataclysmic event, with the detail and majesty of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. --A.T. Hurley, Amazon.com

Synopsis

ANGELS AND DEMONS re-teams director Ron Howard and star Tom Hanks for the sequel to their international blockbuster adaptation of Dan Brown's novel THE DA VINCI CODE. Although the book Angels and Demons was written before the novel THE DA VINCI CODE, the movie transpires after the events of the earlier movie. Hanks stars as Professor Robert Langdon, the most respected symbologist in the United States, who uses his knowledge in order to decode a symbol on the skin of a murder victim. The clues put him on the trail of an international conspiracy involving the Catholic Church. Ewan McGregor and Ayelet Zurer also star in the Sony Pictures production.

5.0 out of 5 stars Angels & Demons, 17 May 2009
Well, I have been looking forward to seeing this film since I saw the trailer when I was at the cinema back in October 08' getting ready to watch the James Bond film - Quantum of Solace. The trailer for Angels & Demons looked so great I went out and read the book which was also excellent.
The point I'm trying to make is that there isnt a bad thing about this film. OK, it was a biut farfetched but then you are watching a film based on a novel by Dan Brown. What do you excpect? Unlike The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons has managed not to upset anybody (so far), because it doent reach quite such a raw nerve as its predecessor but has still delivred a fast-paced action packed thrill ride that will boost the tourism in Rome ten-fold.
Tom Hanks reprises his role as Professor Langdon, an American symbologist who is called to Vatican City after a terrorist threat is made. He is greeted by Ewan McGregor, the chamberlain of the recently deceased Pope, who is stuck with a chilling ultimatum. Evacuate the Vatican and break Conclave whilst breaking one of the strictest Catholic traditions or risk the church and everyone inside being blown in an apocolyptic explosion by a bomb that has been born out of the very centre of Scietific Research. Enter Ayelet Zurer, an Italian scientist who helped develop the bomb and understands the true danger that they are all in.
I could go on and on about the plot to this film for hours because so much happens in the 2 and a half hours that you are sitting in the cinema for. The story takes place over one day which means that things happen a lot faster than in The Da Vinci Code.
Ron Howard really has done a great job with this film. he has managed to stick to the book without making the film feel like it was based on one. I hope that the Howard/Hanks/McGregor partneships carries on because on screen the two actors had a real chemistry and with the direction of Mr Howard, they could make some cracking films. Stellan Skarsgard is good in his role as the head if the Swiss Guard who's deep religious beliefs are not impressed with Langdon's views on Science and Christianity.
The film was big budget so was excpected to be good and has definately not let us down. This is easily one of the biggest films of 2009 and I hope that Ron Howard and Tom Hanks make the 3rd Dan Brown Novel "The Lost Symbol" that is about freemasonry in Washington DC that is set to be on genral sale in September 09'.
100% worth a watch. The breathless chase through Rome and the clever action is enough to keep everyone entertained throughout the whole 2 and a half hourse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, went to see it twice in the same weekend., 12 Aug 2009
By Ms. Claire Finlayson (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I absolutely loved this film, Tom Hanks is superb and actually has some brilliant one-liners. I would definitely recommend it, it's fast paced, keeps you guessing and the end is utterly surprising (unless of course, you've done your homework and read the book, I'm backward, I watch the film then read the book). It does have it's flaws I must say, but for entertainment value, thriller suspense and overall enjoyment I would rate it 5 stars, and definitely the best film I've seen all year of it's kind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, fast-paced and intriguing thriller :), 29 July 2009
By K. NOEL (Britain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have not read any of the books or seen the first film and was not expecting to enjoy this film. However, it was gripping from the start and, although a little convoluted, perfectly understandable and easy to follow if you give it your full attention. The acting was superb (particularly Ewan McGregor and Tom Hanks), the sets were fantastic and the story was fast-paced and kept me guessing till the end. I thought it was brilliant. 100% recommended :o)
