Angels & Demons was published before Da Vinci Code, so it is actually a prequel, yet in the movie they refer to the circumstances of the Da Vinci Code as if it were a prequel. That implies,
Angels & Demons, the book – Prequel
Angels & Demons, the movie – Sequel.
With all due respect to Mr. Dan Brown, I’ve always found his work overrated, especially when it comes to movies. In both the movies Tom Hanks was projected as the essence of story, which is the fact, but honestly the story falls flat on me, so even he fails to make it up for it.
Anyway, coming back to Angels & Demons, let’s put it this way, if you enjoyed National Treasure and get fascinated with Catholic history, then watch this one. Don’t raise your hopes. Ewan McGregor and Tom Hanks have done usual work, yes usual, being a veteran.
I would have given the movie a little better rating and credit, had it got me riveted to my seat, which it didn’t.
Rating: 2.5/5
Year: 2009
