I got exactly what I wanted

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2011)

Well, I really enjoyed this film. But, I will start with the bad things. So, I thought the screenplay was mediocre. And because of this fact, it was obvious who the bad guy/villain was.
For me, a very important thing in movies or movie series, is the time line. So Angels & Demons by Dan Brown was written in 2000, while The Da Vinci Code in 2003. So, and I also think Brown stated this, The Da Vinci Code is Angels & Demons's sequel. But speaking for the films, The Da Vinci Code was adapted for the screen in 2006 and 3 years later in 2009 this movie that I am reviewing now. At first I thought they made a prequel, but I read somewhere that they changed the time line from the books, so they actually made Angels & Demons, the sequel for The Da Vinci Code. It is a little confusing.
So related to this, if it is actually a prequel, then I must say that Tom Hanks actually looks older. So unless the makeup artist was an idiot it is indeed a sequel.
I know most people said that it is better than the first film because the first one was kind of boring and the action was mainly composed of Tom Hanks talking. I disagree. The first film kept me entertained the whole time. And, like this one, it was a 2 and a half hours movie. I think both films are great and you should probably have them in your "movie archive".
What was my opinion, more concrete, relating to the dilemma on which of the films was better? I think they both are up there on the same rank, as my ratings say.
