Angels and Demons

The film is a much better representation than its predecessor.Angels and Demons portrayed a true suspenseful film with history as its backbone.Director Ron Howard brought a good balance between the book and Hollywood magic.What I like about the film is its 24 style time line.It all happens in a day.The movie is full of surprises(For those who haven't read the book) action and effects.The only downside in the effects department is you can clearly or somewhat see the Sistine Chapel location is clearly computer generated.Tom Hanks still does a good job as Robert Langdon minus the Mohawk hair style.The film is harmless in relation to the Vatican's ban on the film.it can be clearly seen as a man-made story.Howard does a great job in showing the "Vatican" or should I say a studio lot in the US, seem realistic.Another thing i liked about the movie is its score.The score definitely brought another level of life and in some instances fear and suspense to the movie.For fans of the book,don't expect too much since this is an adaptation therefore there may be some changes.For newbies,sit down, and enjoy the mystery of Angels and Demons.I give it a 7.5 out of 10.
