Writers: Dan Brown, David Koepp, Akiva Goldsman The two become both suspects and detectives searching for not only the murderer but also the stunning secret of the ages he was charged to protect.

"Angels & Demons" - Tom Hanks reprises his role from the 2006 film 'The Da Vinci Code' as Harvard symbologist and religious expert Robert Langdon, who works alongside the beautiful Vittoria (Ayelet Zurer) to unravel the clues behind a priest's murder and prevent a terrorist act against the Vatican by resurgents of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati, the most powerful underground organisation in history. Screenshots from The Da Vinci Code Blu-ray Read the book before seeing this average movie, you'll be glad you did.Angels & Demons / The Da Vinci Code / Inferno (2006-2016) With the film adaptation, Ron Howard doesn't seem like he wants to take risk with changing a few things and really letting loose and making a movie that stands out as a fine thriller. Angel & Demons is fun, but the book is better as it leaves constantly guessing and thrilled right up to the end. Overall it plays out like a mindless thriller that should have been truly something special. The problem I have with the film is that, though it's very close to the source material, there simply isn't any soul to the film. The best thing about the film is that they're fairly well adapted, but the performances just aren't as great as they should be, and the material could have been better in terms of the script. I wasn't totally let down by this one, but there is just so many aspects that could have been improved upon. This movie is simply a case of the book is far better than the film, and it lacks despite the fact that it delivers some entertainment value. Ron Howard used to make great films, but nowadays he seems fairly hit and miss=.Although Angels & Demons is a good film, it leaves a lot of room for improvement.
If you loved the book, you may like this one, but you'll also think it is lacking in terms of effective directing.
Acting wise, the cast do what they can with the so-so material and Tom Hanks doesn't really shine here, and he has performed in far better films than this. Ron Howard's film version is much like his previous outing and it is a flawed, but nonetheless is entertaining for what it is. Angels & Demons was a great book, exciting, pulse pounding and truly unique. Now I preferred the book of course, and I was curious to see how this one would look on-screen. Follow-Up to the Da Vinci Code is an average adaptation of a very good book.
