Better than The DaVinci Code

Rating: 8/10 (13 June 2009)

Angels and Demons is the adaptation of the novel of the same name written by Dan Brown , the same person that wrote The DaVinci Code and as well as he DaVinci Code it is directed by Ron Howard and with Tom Hanks in the leading role. This one is way better the the previous one but it isn't that great to impress. Angels and Demons is a very well structure thriller with lots of action, adventure and suspense. It has a fast rhythm, a convincing and interesting story, although I think it has some holes that if you're not paying attention you will get bore very easy.The digital effects are extraordinary that in some way compensates the lack of story. The locations are excellent, maybe the best of the movie. Watching every street, every corner and every church of Vatican City is really impressive and interesting. The cast is really good. Tom Hanks repeating in the role of Robert Langdon, in this second movie he is more an action hero than a respectable scientist but still a very good performance. Ewan McGregor was excellent as Camerlengo McKenna, it was a very powerful performance and Ayelet Zurer was good but with very little presence. In conclusion, Angels and Demons is a decent thriller you will enjoy.
