If any of you have seen the Da Vinci Code, then you will love this movie. Back in the starring role, Tom Hanks gives an unforgettable performance as Robert Langdon in this amazing blockbuster.

My girlfriend loved this film. Most notably because it's set in Rome (which is where she is from), and every five-minutes she exclaimed "I know that street!!!". She did, but the other cinema goers weren't as enthusiastic as her. I, on the other hand, thought it was 'okay'. Filled with excitement, much as 'The Da Vinci Code' was, it ...  Read the complete review

This was in interesting film. I enjoyed it very much. After seeing the trailer, it had me convinced that it was going to be good, after all that is what trailers are meant to do. If you enjoyed the 1st film The Da Vinci Code, then you are going to enjoy this one just as much. We see the return of Robert Langdon ( Tom Hanks) who is ...  Read the complete review

After reading the book, I was absolutely thrilled that it was being made into a film, same as The Da Vinci Code, although I was unsure of what to expect as the book was very long. Tom Hanks stars as the protagonist of the film again, following on from the Da Vinci Code. In this story, there is lots of different settings, ranging from ...  Read the complete review

This film is the sequal to the Da Vinci Code starring Tom Hanks. As with most films the book was better than the on screen version, but was still an enjoyable film. Tom Hanks plays Dr Langdon very well. What stands out about this film, as with the Da Vinci Code, is it's ability to question what you believed to be true. It covers quite a ...  Read the complete review

Angels and demons was a film that I had wanted to watch for a while, having been a great fan of the book, and the previous film The Da Vinci Code, I knew that this film would be both controversial yet at the same time very action packed and entertaining. Ron Howard is a great director he made the Da Vinci code live up to the book, and ...  Read the complete review

I went to the cinema to see Angels and Demons on its first night, with an open mind. I had heard mixed reviews about the follow up to The Da Vinci Code and not all of them were great. After picking up the book, and then putting it down again permanently, not too long after starting it, I thought I may have struggled a little to get into the film. ...  Read the complete review

Angels and Demons is the sequel, yet also the prequel (if that makes sense)-as it was based before The DaVinci Code, to the 2006 'hit' The DaVinci Code, both based on the novels of the same name by Dan Brown, and was released in 2009. It sees Tom Hanks reprise the role of Prof. Robert Langdon, an American symbologist -what ever that ...  Read the complete review

Well what can i say- Tom Hanks plays a brilliant lead role, serious and tense! Lots of people say that the films depicting the Dan Brown books are just not up to scratch compared with the books but i say you need to just take a book for a book and a film for a film. Keep your expectations low and approach the film with fresh eyes and senses. ...  Read the complete review

Anyone can contest, and a lot of people do, the quality of Dan Brown's oeuvre but one cannot argue with the number of copies his books sell. Angels and Demons is effectively a sequel to Robert Langdon's previous outing, The DaVinci Code, although this feels as though it will become an inevitable 'series'. As bad as The DaVinci Code was, it was ...  Read the complete review

This film is the prequel to Da Vinci Code. It is a lot darker and more graphic. Robert Langdon is asked to try and solve a series of clues left centuries ago by the illuminati to try and find the four kidnapped cardinals and the anti-matter which was stolen and threatened to blow up the whole of the Vatican. If you liked The Da Vinci Code then you ...  Read the complete review

When I moved to London five years ago, every tiresome person I met had a copy of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code in their hand. "It lifts the lid on the Catholic Church," they'd tell me, staring at my right ear, "Seriously, it explains so much." "Yeah?" I said dubiously. "Like ...  Read the complete review

I had read Da Vinci code and Angels and Demons before the movies came out. When they released The Da Vinci Code as a movie I said to anyone willing to pay the slightest bit of attention that Angels and Demons would make a MUCH better film. I loved every minute readin the book. As with any book based movie, it cannot give all the detail ...  Read the complete review

I was looking forward to seeing this film, despite all the damning reviews, as I really loved The Da Vinci Code (the film, haven't read the book) despite its flaws. Angels and Demons sees Professor Robert Langdon, played by Tom Hanks, called to the Vatican after the death of the Pope, to decipher clues relating to the kidnapping of the ...  Read the complete review

Dan Brown's books have become something of a phenomenon. Millions of copies have been sold and yet I managed to avoid reading any of his books. Even my Dad (who doesn't really do books) had read them. I don't know why I never read them because I read plenty of other Dan Brown type books, but they sat on my bookshelf collecting dust (they were ...  Read the complete review

As a stand alone film, this would have been better, however before going to the cinema to see Angels and Demons, i decided to read the book. The book is really very good, and i will write a review on it soon. To be honest i think much of the reason i felt let down by the film, was that for reasons of time (i assume) Ron howard decided to change ...  Read the complete review
