I had an adequate time watching Angels and Demons

Rating: 6/10 (25 May 2009)

In the interest of full disclosure, I fell asleep during some of the more talky scenes in the beginning but I awoke enough when the first chase came on. So with that said, this probably wasn't one of the most exciting movies I've seen this year though it did get better as the movie went on. Tom Hanks is fine reprising his role he previously did in The DaVinci Code though it's Ewan McGregor as a priest that was the most compelling part here. Ayelet Zurer as the leading lady was adequate here but she wasn't bad as adequate parts go. Ron Howard provides his own compelling direction to the fore though, like I said, it didn't completely jell for me. Still, it wasn't a bad time I spent with my friend who works at the theatre seeing this film it was playing especially since, once again, I got to watch for free...
