It Differs Somewhat From Novel, But It's Still Great!

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2009)

I did not know what to expect when I first saw this movie. I liked the Da Vinci Code which was close to the book. I read the book, Angels and Demons many times that I know the book word by word. I was first disappointed that the book and movie differ so much, then I realized that I liked the movie because of the intense scenes. Big fans of Dan Brown's novels will be disappointed.
Tom Hanks returns as the leading symbologist, Robert Langdon. Langdon is called to Vatican City to help the Swiss Guard uncover antimatter from the grounds beneath and to stop some evil dude from killing and branding four cardinals.
The acting and directing are pretty good. I always liked Tom Hanks and Ron Howard so their great performances were no surprise. I was pleasantly surprised at Ewan McGregor. The only movies I liked him in was Black Hawk Down and Star Wars.
This movie has plenty of action and intense scenes. These won't disappoint big fans of action. I liked the score of Hans Zimmer especially the solo violin solos. Overall, this was a great movie though not accurate to the book. I rate this movie 9/10.
