Angels & Demons
The story of Langdon's brush with a shadowy secret society, the Illuminati, and his frantic quest for the world's most powerful energy source, in the company of a beautiful Italian physicist whose father, a brilliant physicist, has been murdered.
The first adaptation of Dan Brown's complex series, The Da Vinci Code just sucked, but made enough to greenlight the next of his books. Is Angels And Demons an improvement from the last? Slightly.
There are some elements from the last movie that were removed and a few new were introduced. Tom Hanks is still dependable as the intelligent but clean symbolist, while we're introduced to new range of cast that share a time of shifty eyes. My opinion is that this mystery is much bigger and interesting than the last. Yet the main villain can be find out right in the middle of the movie and when you'll find about the motive and scheme, it becomes unbelievable and convoluted. You'll be questioning "Really? This one person thought of all of this?". It is a fun ride that will kind of make you feel smarter, but it feels like it'll insult your intelligence by the end.
2 and a half out of 5 stars
