Effective for those who have yet to read the novel.

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2009)

I know there has been a lot complaint about the changes done in the movie; from the twist ending even to the storyline. But as a person who hasn't read the novel, I find the movie as a very effective thriller. The storyline is very complicated yet interesting. The suspense is intense. I love the twist ending. The acting, though not Oscar-worthy, is anything you might expect for a summer movie. The editing is done very well. And the special effect is marvelous. The movie itself is such an eye-candy (it's like a tourism video of Rome). And the movie seems to be like a visualization of a novel. Watching it feels like you're reading a book.
Angels & Demons is a sure movie for anyone who wants a bit of suspense, intensity and mystery and also for those who like thought-provoking stories.
Recommended.
