Tom Hanks reprises his role as Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon in “Angels and Demons,” the much-anticipated sequel to the international blockbuster, The Da Vinci Code(2006), This would be another Dan Brown (author) film adaptation, although the novel Angels & Demons was published and takes place before the novel The Da Vinci Code.When Langdon discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati—the most powerful underground organization in history—he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the secret organization's most despised enemy: the Catholic Church. Embarking on a nonstop, action-packed hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon follows a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that mark the Vatican's only hope for survival.
If you enjoyed the DaVinci Code, then you will undoubtedly enjoy this movie as well. The same twists and turns are reflected in Angels and Demons as well. One slight difference is the fact that this one was just slightly at a faster pace, which kid of helped it out considering the movie is two hours long. What viewers may also want to realize is that the movie is obviously fictitious, however there is still enough real history to make it seem very believable. And when it all boils down that is what matters, the entertaining piece not whether its a real story. If that is the case no one would go to the movies.
"Howard is excellent in depicting the simplicity of complexity and complex issues."
