Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) works with a nuclear physicist to solve a murder and
prevent a terrorist act against the Vatican during one of the significant
events within the church.
Review: “Angels & Demons” open with a bang, as well as visual as sound.
Director Ron Howard sets the tone to the spectacle we are going to experience.
You are overwhelmed with tons of info, see grotesque images of the Vatican and
the laboratory of CERN. After that opening, we see Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon
for the first time in this film. He is called to the Vatican to help them with
the kidnapping of the four preferiti.
The movie has a quick
montage and it looks all so impressive. But there is also some room to breathe
and reflect. The search for the missing preferiti is exciting, but sometimes a
little bit predictable. But overall it’s a well-executed thriller that keeps
you on the edge at all times. I loved Tom Hanks in “The Da Vinci Code” but also
in “Angels & Demon” (okay, I love Tom Hanks in everything). Ewan McGregor
and Stellan Skarsgård are solid supporting actors.
Although I really enjoyed
“Angels & Demons”, I prefer “The Da Vinci Code”.
