What to Know

Critics Consensus

Angels and Demons is a fast-paced thrill ride, and an improvement on the last Dan Brown adaptation, but the storyline too often wavers between implausible and ridiculous, and does not translate effectively to the big screen.

Namrata Joshi Outlook Angels and Demons is far more accessible than Da Vinci Code and far more pacy too. It doesn't want viewers to pause, and reflect. Rated: 2/4 Feb 1, 2019 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator All I can really say about it is this: if there is one movie you don't see this year, do make it this one. Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Hank Sartin Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment ‘Angels And Demons’ does have a few ‘James Bond-how-could-you-possibly-manage-to-do-that?’ moments but overall works well. It leaves you constantly guessing (and more importantly actually caring) what happens next, is well written and beautifully captured Rated: 3/5 Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …an ersatz Indiana Jones without the wit, but with long stretches of cross-word puzzle wisdom and shonky history lessons, a National Treasure without the action… Rated: 2/5 Aug 29, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Angels & Demons makes a better thriller than its predecessor Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Andrea T Probably one of the worst movies ever made. Takes over 2 hrs to watch and does not get any better. Tom Hanks has all of the answers to saving the hostages but he dawdles around and acts like a pouty baby instead of saving the people. Many people die because of Tom Hanks - if he had a weapon for starters maybe he could have actually been semi successful. He is a supposed genius and he is working with the Swiss Guard and a scientist from CERN but all them combined cannot save 4 people - even with a riddle and time to search. Ridiculous!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Jason Loves W Fast paced and so thrilling movie. It was not a bad movie. It's good mystery thriller with excellent cast. Tom Hanks once again as professor Robert Langdon. He was great in this movie. I love both of The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Anirudh S Everything the last movie did well, this one did better, and improved on the negative aspects of the first one. It was a constant thrill-ride from beginning to end, music is great, as Hans Zimmer always is, has a certain charm to it that doesn't go away with time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Jelisije J A massive improvement over the first film because it never lets up because the protagonist are on a timer to rescue for cardinals from certain deaths from the illuminati. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Hargie M a gripping tale of suspense and mystery that explores the age-old conflict between science and religion. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Sherlock K A must watch film about religion, but the film needs a better twist. The final dead does not make sense Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
