Angels & Demons

"Perhaps dan brown had taken into account the outrage the first film caused" Unlikely as he wrote Angels & Demons before writing The Da Vinci Code and certainly years before 'the first film'

When this film finished i turned to my friend and i said "i feel like i have just watched tom hanks walking around old dusty buildings for 2 hours..." and i had. Well, to be fair he also sped from one church to next in a modest hatchback to intesnse orchestral music. They almost tricked me for a second...they almost tricked me into thinking i was excited. This film is a testament to how much a brilliant music score can do to make up for inadequacy. This film was Hans Zimmer with an unfortunate doody on top. I actually fell asleep in this film. I missed one of the curches...as i gather he went into the church and there was dust there. I woke up just in time to be massively offended by the ending. Let me emphasise that this film is NOT in any way shape or form anti religious. It had certainly gained converts for the catholic church. For some reason, which i cannopt figure out, the last half hour seemed to be an exercise in how far Ron Howard could get his head into the pope's arse. I sat open mouthed as he kneeled down and thrusted his head into the pope's arse. And then to my horror he squeezed in up to the shoulders, and by the end he was inside the pope's arse up to his waist. The film gave the following message: Scientists are becoming a bit rash with their dangerous experiments and they don't really know what they're dealing with. The church is a little old fashioned by its intentions are good. And finally, the ultimate insult, the old "religion and science are two sides of the same coin" trick. Die. DIE. Literally die right now ron howard. You have a responsibility to the audience not to be shit. There are young impressionable people watching this film and your taking a shit in their little minds. STOP SHITTING IN THE MINDS OF OUR CHILDREN RON HOWARD. STOP. Words cannot describe how terrible this film is. The Da Vinci Code was an acceptable film. It still licked christianity's ass but it was alright (largely thanks to Hans Zimmer, who i love more than my mother) I fail to see how at any stage they thought this would be good. Everything is wrong with it. Its boring. Its badly written. And worst of all, it is a whore. Actually, wait, thats an insult to whores, who quite frankly provide a valuable service. This film is a very poor whore who draws everyone in by pretending to be outrageous and contreversial and turns out to be an utter dissapointment with a fantastic soundtrack.

I found angels and demons to be some what of an anti climax, after watching the da vinci code i expected a lot more. As usual Tom Hanks gave a sterling performance to make the production a little more palatable, but what Tom made up for with talent the script took away with a blase unbeleivable account of the catholic church. Perhaps dan brown had taken into account the outrage the first film caused, but what unfolded was almost an interpretation of the catholic church. I did enjoy the film despite the short comings and found it entertaining, but dont think this film will win any oscars. A three star, a four star being very genourous. Look out for loose ends which dont tie up!

Tom Hanks is outstanding as usual; The story keeps you in suspense from start to end; clever twist how science meets religion, even though both are clearly exaggerated beyond realism it makes for a great story line and good entertainment. I have to admit what captured me most was the location. It makes you feel like you are walking through the streets of Rome yourself.

Do not listen to the reviews...this film is absolutely fabulous. If you've read the book first and understand what's going on, then I'm sure you're going to enjoy it. Dan Brown is a genius, and this film, though it goes off on a tangent from the book sometimes, truly shows that genius. Fab cast. 5*

hi larsa dont be put off i nearly made that error

I want to watch the film but the stars just makes me not want to watch it........should i still go?

A brilliant film that leaves you feeling like it was well worth the money. Ron Howard gets better each time he directs now, perhaps another Spielberg!

Great Movie, not quite with the book the whole way, but the important parts are there. Its nice that they kept the faults of the church in the movie as they were in the book, because religion is evil and should be exposed as such.

i went to see this with my mate and her bf and i must admit i am a big fan i loved reading and watching DaVinci code but i was besotted by this film it was incredable and deffo worth the money i loved it so much i keep going to the pictures to watch it. The twist was imence. However i was debating on reading the book be4 i went to see the film but i chose not to as i wanted to get the big ''whooaa'' from the film and a bigger ''whooaa'' from the book
