Angels and Demons DVD-More Exciting Than The First

Angels and Demons. How could you go wrong with a movie with a name like that. It does sound so Gothic. It is steeped in history, which for art history fans makes watching it for that reason alone worth while. Direction is again by Ron Howard and the lead is Tom Hanks, like the last one. The second part of the DaVinci code is very exciting.

Robert Langdon, The same character that Tom Hanks played in the last movie, is going full speed again. For a Harvard religious expert, his life is certainly exciting. I guess he must be used to it since his recent escapades in the previous movie. He and Vittoria Vetra, hello hot scientist, take on the Illuminati. It turns into some high speed action.

This is an action packed, face paced movie packed full of intrigue and suspense. A mix of mystery and suspense coupled with crime and action sequences make this film a bit more entertaining then its predecessor The Davinci Code.

Now as with any book to screen adaptation, there are some things that were taken from the overall story line that were more clearly documented and gone into in depth in the book, however they managed to stick to the story line and were very careful to only cut out parts that were not relevant to the overall outcome of the film. There were a few things that left you hanging in the movie that did gain more clarity in the book, but overall this was an excellent on screen adaptation of the Dan Brown novel and an excellent continuation to The Davinci Code.

I loved Tom Hanks in this film. He looked good and was so great in the character. I get tired of always seeing those actors that look perpetually 20 something. The whole cast was totally believable. All those Catholic big wigs really seemed for real. You have to love Ewan McGregor. He looked good and he was so nice to watch in this role. I would give Angels and Demons two thumbs up.

The Angels and Demons DVD makes a great movie out of an fascinating tale. You get suspense, intrigue, and Tom Hanks in the Angels and Demons DVD. What a bargain!
