No Angels or Demons could make me watch it again!

Rating: 3/10 (30 May 2009)

"Angels and Demons" by Ron Howard is a very bland movie. Tom Hanks is okay as Robert Langdon, but even he can't save a very confusing and uninteresting story and script. The script seems to cater to the dumbest common denominator. You cannot follow the story in an intelligent way, it's too messy and chaotic. I have not read the book, so I assume it's just the movie. It preaches to us that science and religion can coexist happily. That in itself could be an interesting idea, but the way it's done is as if the filmmakers are talking down to us, the audience like we're idiots.
Although I've seen a lot worse movies, they probably didn't cost as much to make. The visuals are okay, and there are even some inspired action scenes, but in the end it's all forgettable. By the time you get to the big twist that Camerlengo is the bad guy, you don't believe the film anymore. That's too bad. The best part about the movie is the assassin who is believable and scary person.
