Movie Review Summary

So, you’ll probably have seen the Da Vinci Code already. That film was a let down compared to the book. I hadn’t read Angels & Demons the novel for a few years so it wasn’t fresh in my mind. I did see other reviews of Angels & Demons giving it a poor rating though so I was expecting more of Da Vinci than anything else. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. I think the plot for Angels & Demons holds the suspense better and against the glorious setting of Rome and Vatican City the film is delightful to watch. Tom Hanks for me was never first choice for Robert Langdon, in this film though he does feel more at home in the role. Ewan McGregor plays his part beautiful and the role of the female sidekick this time goes to Ayelet Zurer who is somewhat stilted in the role given the limited nature of the character from the novel.
