I loved the Angels & Demons
book by Dan Brown, so I wanted to see if this movie was just as good. This is one instance, where I can honestly admit to being pleasantly surprised!!! Not only was it a decent movie, but due to runtime, it was actually an improvement, as it removed a lot of the bloat that the novel suffered from. In this movie, our hero, Robert Langdon, played by Tom Hanks and whom we became familiar with in The Da Vinci Code
, is called upon by the Vatican to help find the kidnapped Perferitti. Do I really need to add that it all ties into an ancient scientific sect called the Illuminati and he discovers a conspiract? Nah, didn't think so!
I'll stop there, but just allow me to say that there are some twists and turns, so the ending will probably surprise you!
Since I'm not a fan of the religious overtones and think both the movie and book would have done just as well with less of them, I rated this movie a 7.0.
BEST MOVIE LINE: Robert Langdon (to prominent leaders of the Vatican): Oh geez! You guys don't even read your own history do you?
