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.

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

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.

‘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

…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…

While better than The Da Vinci Code it does fall into the problems but with an ridiculous plot that doesn’t even need Robert Langdon

Un gran adaptación de la trepidante novela de Dan Brown que cuenta con grandes actuaciones y que cobra vida gracias a dos de las estrellas más famosas de Hollywood: Tom Hanks y Ewan McGregor. Con un ritmo trepidante esta película te lleva desde los caminos y misterios más conocidos de Roma como la Piazza Navonna hasta lugares no tan reconocidos como la capilla Chigi acompañados por la energética música de Hans Zimmer además de un sorprendente desenlace…

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Fast paced and gripping, excellent special effects and set designs, even though in the movie they admit that the current technology for the creation and containment of antimatter is far from attainable at the level required for the plot.

A very silly film that gets more and more unbelievable towards the end. Really…A huge explosion and a parachuting Pope? it honestly descends into complete farce… disappointing and complete nonsense. Drivel.
