Terrible movie, completely moved away from the depth of the storyline of the book, new beginning + new end = terrible movie
May 26, 2009
Dumb and boring.

Decent pace & story, although personally I would of liked more depth in the telling of the story. You can always tell where these church/christian movies go .... MAN, in any century, is bent on power and control,. using religion for his own purposes.

this movie sucks, dont waste your money

Love the movie. We thought it was better than Da Vinci Code, however, we could have waited to see it on DVD.
May 24, 2009
This movie makes no attempt whatever to be credible. Ron Howard and Tom Hanks must have totally lost their critical faculties. Always go for the money. Too bad.

IT IS THE KIND OF MOVIES MAKES YOU THINK +VELY!!!
May 24, 2009
Simply a great movie.....can only recommend it.
May 24, 2009
Great book. Great movie. If you read, and liked the book, I'm sure you will like the movie.
May 24, 2009
awesome movie i thought it was number 1 and i thought it was better than the da vinci code
May 24, 2009
Anti-Christian? WHO THE HELL CARES! This flick was good, honestly entertaining and doesn't deserve the bad stigma the first flick cast upon the sequel. Worth seeing.
May 24, 2009
Kind of slow moving and boring. Too much time spent in Vatican archives trying to translate documents. Music too was overdone--religious music didn't seem to blend well with police cars racing around Rome.
May 24, 2009
movie was good, apart from the necessity to deviate from the book, but entertaining as 'hell' ( no need to be sarcastic about the religious aspect of it; they never said it was based on a true story, and besides, weren't movies made to be entertaining, I wander?!) ...now: the music was FANTASTIC, the scenery splendid and the special effects up to standards... I recommend it

I've never read the book but I thought it was really good! My husband read the book and he liked the book a little more because of the detailed explanations but he still enjoyed the movie!
May 23, 2009
AMAZING!

I absolutely love Dan Brown and his novels and I would have to say Angels and Demons was by far my favorite book by him. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for this movie. I accept the fact that a books' story line must be changed to make a better movie but i feel as if some important parts were taken out that added to the strength of the story line. Overall I thought the plot was weak and choppy. The movie lacked depth and interesting. The acting was mediocre. Overall I would suggest for you to not bother seeing the movie and just stay home and read the book. I guarantee you will enjoy it more.

Hard to understand why people consider this an anti-Catholic movie. It seemed to me that in the end the Vatican is totally vindicated and a new pope goes forward to save the world from mad scientists.
May 23, 2009
Awesome!
May 23, 2009
Tom Hanks was awesome, as always.... plot lagged a little, I appreciated the Special Effects
May 23, 2009
Not to bad. Would have preferred to wait until it was out on DVD but not a waste of money seeing it in the theatre either. Hanks does a great job in this and in my opinion this one was far more appealing than the first with its cheezy ending. Closer to the book and well supported.
May 22, 2009
Was this movie for real? I would compare this movie to the worst 1960's Batman episode. Total waste of my time and money
May 22, 2009
This movie is anti-Christian. Don't waste your hard earned money on this pointless film. Watch something that is worth watching.
May 22, 2009
Truly a movie for the complacent and unthinking lovers of divine revelation.
May 22, 2009
I was disappointed with this movie, maybe because I loved the book, and so much of it was altered
May 21, 2009
If you liked the DaVinci Code you'll like this as well. Of course most movies are never even close to as good as the book but its still a decent movie
May 21, 2009
Of course the book would be more detailed. They always are. There's only so much you can do in a movie, but what was done was done well. And as a Catholic, I find it quite entertaining and fascinating. I believe that Science and God are just "both sides of the same coin". Too bad that the Camerlengo was misguided in his reasoning, because he got it half right. It was a great action movie, based on a wonderfully gripping tale by Dan Brown. At least we can talk about our religion unlike Muslims can do with Islam. I think that makes Christianity much more interesting, because at least there's discussion - which often leads to new answers - something I applaud Dan Brown for tackling in such a FU

People get away with making dumb movies like this? It's a parody of itself! I've read Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons--the man has no abiding literary talent at all--he can string a plot together but the language is always bland from beginning to end. So, how do you make a good movie from a badly written book?
May 21, 2009
I was worried because of the reviews and the length of the movie....no problem though as I can't remember the last time a movie kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I loved it and definitely think you shouldn't listen to those who are so negative about it..GO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF..
May 21, 2009
Religion, not science, will save the world? They've got to be kidding. Wish I could give this movie a 0 rating (or less).
May 21, 2009
boring - don't waste your money
May 21, 2009
For the person who said "True to the book!"... we can't read sarcasm
May 20, 2009
book is better, much more detailed
May 20, 2009
The only unadulterated and honest line in the movie is when Tom Hanks describes the Vatican's treatment of Classical sculpture as an act of "vandalism." Like the book, the movie script is badly written. Dan Brown likes to toy with heresy but lacks the courage to see it through.
May 20, 2009
very average show.
May 20, 2009
Meh.
May 20, 2009
I was glad I almost forgot about the book cause the movie helped me remember how fast paced the book was. Still, the book was better because it was more descriptive because the movie was little difficult to swallow. But all in all way to go Hanks and Howard and everyone else involved to bring it to life.
May 19, 2009
Very disappointing - the movie strayed too far from the book, with some characters dropped entirely and story lines totally changed. Too slow moving - kept looking at my watch to see when the misery would be over! Read the book but wait for the movie to come out on DVD.
May 19, 2009
LOVED the book! Read it in 3 days.....even having to read thae last 3 pages on the way to the movie....BUT it wasn't the same story! They forgot important chracters, and had to give their "stuff" over to other characters.....yes - the movie was fun and I did enjoy it, but the book is so much better!
May 19, 2009
Having read the book (multiple times), understanding the difficulty of creating a movie based on a book, and the trials of filming on location in Roma - KUDOS to Ron Howard. He did an excellent job as did the actors. Bravo, bravo. A must see and own movie.
May 19, 2009
WOW!
May 19, 2009
True to the book!
May 19, 2009
one word... GARBAGE.
May 19, 2009
OMG....It was fantastic...A MUST SEE MOVIE!!!
May 19, 2009
It's MUCH BETTER than Da Vinci Code. Worth seeing in the theater. I was on the edge of my seat for several times. I still can't see Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon, but oh well. Ewan McGregor was great. The scenes in St Peters were amazing. 4 stars :)
May 18, 2009
Definately the worst movie I've seen this year, and possibly one of the worst movies ever made. O stars/5 stars, even though the min I can give it is 1. Nothing happens in this movie.
May 18, 2009
I have spoken to a number of people about this movie. I get mixed reviews. I went and saw Angels & Demons tonight. It is a MUST WATCH. Its a very well done movie, the book is still better than the movie, this however is always the case since your image of the characters and the scenerey is as you imagine it rather than the directors vision. All in all its a fantastic movie with a very unique plot. It is worth the money!
May 18, 2009
Brilliant. Best movie EVER.
May 18, 2009
Very well done. Somewhat different from the book but what movie isn't. Certainly deserves 4+ stars in my opinion!
May 18, 2009
Worth the watch, don't pay attention to those whom complained about the movie. Differs from the book, but what movie doesn't.
May 18, 2009
Well that would go on the worse movies i ever saw list . What was the friggin point of it all STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
