Angels and Demons. How could you go wrong with a movie with a name like that. It does sound so Gothic. It is steeped in history, which for art history fans makes watching it for that reason alone worth while. Direction is again by Ron Howard and the lead is Tom Hanks, like the last one. The second part of the DaVinci code is very exciting.
Tom Hanks is Robert Langdon again. It is funny how a religious expert manages to have so much excitement in his life. That's good writing for you. I would imagine most guys in that particular field would have to have the dust occasionally brushed off of them. And he also has the help of the brilliant and beautiful Vittoria Vetra. Together they try their darnedest to save the Vatican and a bunch of people from destruction.
This is an action packed, face paced movie packed full of intrigue and suspense. A mix of mystery and suspense coupled with crime and action sequences make this film a bit more entertaining then its predecessor The Davinci Code.
If you were a fan of the book like me you were probably annoyed by them cutting out parts of the book when they made it. We know it's necessary, they can't put everything in there for times sake. It is still a bit of a drag, but that is what you have to accept if you want to see an awesome book turn into an incredible movie. And it was really good. It did the book justice and even stayed very close to the whole line of the tale. It also gave you some needed closure from the first movie.
I loved Tom Hanks in this film. He looked good and was so great in the character. I get tired of always seeing those actors that look perpetually 20 something. The whole cast was totally believable. All those Catholic big wigs really seemed for real. You have to love Ewan McGregor. He looked good and he was so nice to watch in this role. I would give Angels and Demons two thumbs up.
The
Angels and Demons DVD makes a great movie out of an interesting tale. You get action, intrigue, and Tom Hanks in the
Angels and Demons DVD. What a deal!
