Well I just came back from watching this movie with my Dad, and I must say it was damn good. Now I was a fan of the Da Vinci Code and though sadly I have not yet read the books, both movies have wanted me to read them. Now people hated (or some I should say) the Da Vinci Code. I guess it was boring, but it intrigued me with all the history and symbolism and all that good stuff. Of course I am into that so to someone who doesn't like that, well I guess that is why it is boring. Angels and Demons though is a little easier on that. What I mean is, is that Angels and Demons is much faster paced and not as technical per say. It is a good thriller with a lot of religious stuff, but it is all really good and makes you wonder about things. Basically the movie is about the Church VS. Science and technology.
I could go into details like so many people do with acting or script or whatever, but why bother. Tom Hanks is good as always and the dialogue was like any other movie to me. It was good and very informative. The story was good, close to the book I assume. I honestly can't wait for another one, that will be a while though because the third book doesn't come out until September.
So should you see this movie? Well if you liked the context of the Da Vinci Code, then yes you should. If you like a good thriller/mystery, then yes you should. If you expect a lot of action, then this is not the movie for you. There is only one slow part, otherwise though it really did keep my attention and I really didn't know who the "bad guy" was until the very end, unlike most movies when you can usually figure it out.
So should you see this movie in theaters or rent it? Well if you have the money, see it in theaters. If you wait for video, the movie will still be good, but it is just more exciting on the big screen. If you are waiting for Terminator, well put it this way. 10 bucks for a 1 and a half hour movie, or 10 bucks for a 2 hours and 20 minute movie.
Of course some people like shorter films, but if you want your moneys worth see Angels and Demons. Terminator will be good, but if you want a really good story and if you want your moneys worth, see it.

Despite the negative reviews the movie has been getting I'll still probably see it (some people I know are really hyped about it). Though I was surprised that it took #1 at the box office and beat Star Trek.
I read the books, never saw either of the movies. The books read like Hollywood movies.
One particular note that bothered me in the books. The book has the CERN director claiming they invented the net, and some bullshit about how it wasn't invented in America. CERN did a lot of the world toward the WORLD WIDE WEB, not the internet itself, which was an American military invention. The WWW includes stuff like HTML and websites, some people think that's all the net is.

Angels and Demons is well worth your time and money. Its an enjoyable, entertaining movie.
Either way its sad the movie critic and game critic business has such a big following in the way that if they say it, most people will believe it without having their own opinions.
