Critics Consensus

Angels and Demons is a fast-paced thrill ride, and an improvement on the last Dan Brown adaptation, but the storyline too often wavers between implausible and ridiculous, and does not translate effectively to the big screen.

Angels and Demons is far more accessible than Da Vinci Code and far more pacy too. It doesn't want viewers to pause, and reflect.

All I can really say about it is this: if there is one movie you don't see this year, do make it this one.

B-

If 'the edge of your seat' is the place where you don't have to think, then Angels & Demons, I'm delighted and surprised to say, will take you there.

3/5

‘Angels And Demons’ does have a few ‘James Bond-how-could-you-possibly-manage-to-do-that?’ moments but overall works well. It leaves you constantly guessing (and more importantly actually caring) what happens next, is well written and beautifully captured

…an ersatz Indiana Jones without the wit, but with long stretches of cross-word puzzle wisdom and shonky history lessons, a National Treasure without the action…

Angels & Demons is a fun Robert Langdon adventure that stands apart from the novel in many meaningful ways. The story and motivations of its characters are altered significantly, serving to keep the film moving without distracting from the gripping adventure. These changes do shift the scope of the film, however. For those hoping to see the novel brought faithfully to the screen, there is bound to be some disappointment in the major alterations and loss of depth. Some of the subtler themes that add layers to the story are left behind. In some ways, this helps the film stand on its own, and overall I appreciate what Ron Howard was able to accomplish. The pacing is well executed and helps suspend disbelief when necessary. Skarsgård and Hanks are excellent in their roles, carrying some of the supporting characters through their scenes. If you’re looking for something fun for movie night and need to scratch that National Treasure itch, Angels & Demons delivers.

Es una película interesante, con una trama que atrapa desde el inicio. Toca temas polémicos de forma llamativa y es de esas historias que te mantienen atento en todo momento. Tiene varios giros interesantes, aunque algunos resultan algo predecibles.
