Two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks once again reprised his role as Robert Langdon in Angels & Demons. The biggest difference between this Angels & Demons and the New York Times best-selling book Angels & Demons is that the book is the prequel to Da Vinci Code whereas the movie is the sequel to The Da Vinci Code. Tom Hanks also once again reunited with Oscar-winning director Ron Howard.
One of the complaints of this movie is that once again the movie is just not as the same as the book itself. Therefore, if you like the book just like I do, try to avoid this movie, as it will greatly disapppoint you. Besides, this movie is just too fast or too rushy. It just runs from one scene then to another then to another without any full-stop. Another thing is that the way Robert Langdon solve those riddles or clues left by the Illuminati is even quicker than Batman or even Sherlock Holmes. This movie, Langdon is portrayed like a super human which did not make it believable for us.
Well, the supporting casts did not disappoint in terms of acting despite not giving enough understanding towards each of the characters. As I am a fan of Hans Zimmer, the score for this movie is just suitable for the fast-paced Angels & Demons. As usual, Hans do not disappoint in terms of music as he is one of the geniuses in music.
Overall, Angels & Demons is like a machine gun, the plot is just too speedy and audiences who cannot catch with the speedy plot would have to watch another time to understand this movie. Fans of action or adventure movie would be disappointed with this movie whereas fans of Angels & Demons or Dan Brown would be largely and highly disappointed with this movie.
