‘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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 29, 2024

…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…

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 29, 2024

Angels & Demons makes a better thriller than its predecessor

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 5, 2023

Angels & Demons gets in, has a lot of fun with its concept, moves along at a rattling pace, and gets out before you've had the chance to notice just how awful it really is.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 14, 2022

Once again, the biggest misstep is in the conclusion, this time suffering from even worse pacing and outrageous implausibility - instead of just a generally disagreeable idea.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 28, 2020

Langdon is a role that Hanks could easily play in his sleep and, to his credit, he doesn't do so.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 2, 2020

[U]nsurprisingly, [Angels & Demons] treads much the same path as its predecessor; it's very long, very melodramatic and very middle-of-the-road.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 31, 2019

The even-trashier sequel to The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons is another mirthless Catholic scavenger hunt from director Ron Howard and author Dan Brown.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 27, 2019

Just another farfetched potboiler, making less and less sense as it hits increasingly predictable plot twists.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 6, 2019

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 1, 2019

...the wacky action finale ruins the whole zoning-out experience, plus it pushes the film to a punishing two-and-a-half hours. Damn! Sometimes it seems like they can't even make good crap anymore.

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.

...results in a much more attractive movie than the previous... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 15, 2018

Hanks's Langdon still barely draws breath without waffling the same expository gobbledegook that made The Da Vinci Code such a plodding experience, but this time he does more than just walk and talk - he spouts and sprints!

| Feb 27, 2017

Angels & Demons is housewife-targeted holiday read nonsense, given a Hollywood spit 'n' shine and go-faster stripes by a once-burned, twice-shy director desperate to make amends.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 29, 2012

In many respects, Angels & Demons is a pretty straightforward terrorist-hostage film.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 11, 2012

If The Da Vinci Code was characterized by people sitting at tables and talking, then this sequel-set film of the prequel book is characterized by people walking briskly and talking.
