Nice rhythm

Rating: 7/10 (15 August 2009)

This movie flows nicely and has a good rhythm to it. Which makes it slightly better than the "Da Vinci Code", if you like your movies to be simple and/or straightforward. Whereas Da Vinci was more complex and therefor not entirely satisfying for the mainstream audience it was targeting, this one knows exactly what it wants.
I haven't read the books, the movies are based on, but as it appears the movies took some liberties. Angels and Demons as a book is a "prequel" to the Da Vinci Code, but here it is played out as a (sort of) Sequel. Tom Hanks reprises his role and the hunt begins early on. The pace picks on and it never really slows down, which is good, because then you would start thinking and you would see many flaws ... As it is, the movie is solid in what it tries to achieve.
