Critics Consensus

Angels and Demons is a fast-paced thrill ride, and an improvement on the last Dan Brown adaptation, but the storyline too often wavers between implausible and ridiculous, and does not translate effectively to the big screen.

Angels and Demons is far more accessible than Da Vinci Code and far more pacy too. It doesn't want viewers to pause, and reflect.

All I can really say about it is this: if there is one movie you don't see this year, do make it this one.

If 'the edge of your seat' is the place where you don't have to think, then Angels & Demons, I'm delighted and surprised to say, will take you there.

‘Angels And Demons’ does have a few ‘James Bond-how-could-you-possibly-manage-to-do-that?’ moments but overall works well. It leaves you constantly guessing (and more importantly actually caring) what happens next, is well written and beautifully captured

…an ersatz Indiana Jones without the wit, but with long stretches of cross-word puzzle wisdom and shonky history lessons, a National Treasure without the action…

Don't understand why the ratings are so low. It's a nice movie with suspense & drama. Definitely worth watching.

Not quite as the Da Vinci Code but this one I also like it a lot. All the procedures in the Catholic Church are so interesting, the level of suspense is amazing and the performance of Hanks and McGregor were also great.

Quite a bit different from the book, but better than doing the dishes

If you like historical mistry thriller then you should watch this. Inspite of bad or average comments you should see this movie. I can promise you won't regret.

Not quiete the zest of the first (felt like a church hop more than logical and clever clues). But has tension and twists.

I understand the creative liberty often taken by movies doing book adaptations, but the changes made in this film.led to a cascade of interventions that made the movie such a detour and let down from the amazingness that is the book. It is like if I explained the coolest scenes of the book to someone who then decided to make a film without asking how these plot points connect in the slightest and also, for some reason, refused to do basic research on CERN and religous art history. This movie was made by jocks that wanted to just see things on fire or explode... which don't get me wrong, I did too. The imagery and descriptions in the book were something I wanted to see on the big screen. But this felt like a collection of action shots for a trailer over a well planned out movie.
