Wow thanks for the reivew, I may have to see it now. I did read the books after all.

Yeah...It is very entertaining, and even though its Two Hours, it flies by like a bullet.

lol I always rank my movies on how many times I look at my watch during the show. Ive got crazy ADD so it can be quite often. Bad movies 5+ checks Good movies 2 or less checks.

is this a movie that an athiest would enjoy?

What im trying to say is would this by the kind of movie that an athiest would feel uncomfortable watching? Im thinking about giving this a watch but if its nothing but a bunch of people  trying to warp christianity around to fit in with modern times im going to have to give it a pass.

How does it stack against the book? I loved the book (by the way, some of you may simply know of that as Illuminati). I watched Da Vinci without reading the book and while it obviously doesn't compare to Angels & Demons as a story and plot, it's nowhere near as bad as I thought just by hearing opinions... But since I've read the Angels & Demons book I may be more critical of the movie so who knows.... I'll watch it next year or something anyway. And yeah, watch it you atheists... It's a mystery story, not religious... Lol. Why would it make anyone uncomfortable anyway? Do Christians get uncomfortable watching 7 years in Tibet? Lol. Silly :)

No more discomfort than seeing a priest on the way to work... I'm not Catholic, it was still cool to read all that stuff.. The Vatican is certainly an interesting concept and setting whether you have their beliefs or not... As for the "enemy" meh, there's fanatics in every belief, it doesn't describe the average person just because they may share some similar beliefs. The movie has nothing to be uncomfortable about no matter your belief, imo. Er, I mean the book, I haven't watched the movie. Lol.

So you agree he wouldn't be uncomfortable and recommend he watches it... But on the other hand I'm stupid for thinking there's nothing to be uncomfortable about in it. Mind blown. Also, fuck you, there's no reason to call people idiots out of nowhere. It doesn't make you look smart.

Angels and Demons is not as confrontational as the Da Vinci Code, and it is a much better story. It's a thriller, while Da Vinci Code is a mystery that doesn't really feel like anything's at stake.

I want to see this movie as I loved The Davinci Code, Angels and Demons looks really good.Tom Hanks needs to get his act together and do another action movie,that will break his trend.

Sounds good. Thanks for the review. Can anyone tell me if it is necessary story wise to watch the first one before watching this?

I thought it was mediocre.

I had read The Da Vinci Code and it was alright.  It read more like a tourist guide than an actual story.  I wanted to read Angels and Demons, but I was always afraid that it would end up being the same way:  talking more about the locations and the history than the actual story at hand.  Granted, in order to tell the story in any fashion in DVC, Brown HAD to get into all the history of stuff.

I'm always curious what the sample size is for people on the internet that qualifies as "most people" and where they acquire said information.

@OP: Thanks for the review.  Sounds interesting even though I didn't see The Da Vinci Code, so I can't relate.

I enjoyed it at a lot. It was a very entertaining film that was better than the first and the bits it changed from the book, were acceptable.

*BOOK/MOVIE SPOILER WARNING*

For instance, in the book the relationship between Vittoria and the professor/priest and CERN was much more involved. You came to learn that they were actually more like father/daughter than just work partners. They didn't really touch on this in the movie at all. While I noticed at the beginning, because there were no attempts to exploit that later in the film it worked. Second of all, Vittoria was captured in the book by the person executing the cardinals. That whole part was left out in the movie. While it may seem big, it worked in the movie and cut down on screen time that would of made the movie too long. Third, if I remember correctly Langdon had a fight in the water at where the 4th Cardinal was with the executer. It made sense to skip that out.

Overall I enjoyed it and if you are looking for an entaining movie I would say one should go as see this. Though I will still argue that they could have picked a better Langdon than Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks is a fabulous actor but he doesn't really fit the role of Langdon to me. I always thought of Langdon as a bit more agile and a younger professor. That being said, Ewan McGregor did a fantastic job and plays his role just great. Believeable till the end. If you haven't read the book or its been a long time and thus you may forget the ending a little bit, Ewan acted his character greatly.

I've only read the Davinci code, Would I still enjoy this movie?
