Änglar och demoner Ratings & Reviews
- ርልዪረ7 februari 2025Angels and Demons is directed by Ron Howard and adapted to screenplay by David Koepp and Akiva Goldsman from the Dan Brown novel of the same name. It stars Tom Hanks, Ewan McGregor, Ayelet Zurer, Stellan Skarsgard, Pierfrancesco Favino, Nikolaj Lie Kaas and Armin Mueller-Stahl. Music is scored by Hans Zimmer and cinematography by Salvatore Totino. Symbologist Robert Langdon (Hanks) is summoned to Rome and asked by the Vatican to help when four cardinals are kidnapped. Upon examining a tape recording that announces that the cardinals will be killed one at a time hourly, Langdon places the crime at the door of the ancient Illuminati. It's a race against time to not only try and save the lives of the cardinals, but also to avert the detonation of an anti-matter bomb which will destroy Vatican City. In spite of The Da Vinci Code making gargantuan amounts of cash, there were many who actively hated the movie. Yet this follow up from Howard and his makers still enticed just under $500 million's worth of worldwide paying punters into see it. Ultimately it's a very different movie to Da Vinci, where that film was sombre and talky, and had a great religious hook that caused tremors in Christianity, Angels and Demons is a pacey race against time serial killer thriller. Albeit one that is still religion based and additionally topped up with some sci-fi gubbins. The ticking time bomb format works well as a cliff hanger and the narrative allows Langdon and his latest lady investigator, CERN scientist Vittoria Vettra (Zurer), scope for no-nonsense detective work. There's a good solid mystery story at the heart, one which doesn't veer to being over complicated, and the production value is of a very high standard. Casting is first class, with McGregor and Skarsgard complimenting the reliable, and thankfully new haircut sporting, Hanks. It's a little draggy in the mid-section, as history comes crashing into the mix and the makers feel the need to be cerebral, and the finale is bizarre if wholly appropriate, but herein lies the problem... If you can judge it on its own terms, not as a Dan Brown novel recreation and a link to bad memories of Da Vinci Code (not me, I liked it well enough actually)? Then it's a film of simple pleasures. If not then it kind of goes without saying that you probably already dislike the movie! 7.5/10
- Callum21 december 2025⭐⭐⭐ — Angels & Demons — Familiar symbols, familiar chase Living firmly in the shadow of The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons follows much the same blueprint: ancient secrets, iconic churches across Rome, ticking clocks, and one very specific man racing to piece it all together. If you enjoyed the first film, this will feel instantly recognisable — for better and for worse. The similarities are strong enough that it can feel like a remix rather than a reinvention. That said, the film does have its strengths. There are several exciting set pieces, the Rome locations are used effectively, and the science-versus-religion debate gives the story a grounding that felt especially relevant around its release in 2009–2010. The climax is genuinely strong, with a spectacular visual payoff and a twist that lands better than you might expect given the familiarity of the setup. Overall, this is a solid but unspectacular continuation. It’s worth watching if you want to complete the trilogy or enjoyed the tone and ideas of the first film, but it’s not essential viewing either. You won’t feel cheated by watching it — but you probably won’t feel like you’ve uncovered life’s great mysteries if you skip it. 🍷⛪ Pairing: A glass of red wine and a relaxed evening — engaging enough to hold your attention, but comfortable enough to watch without overthinking it.
- Richard17 oktober 2025This one’s a Vatican speed thriller with a Da Vinci Code hangover and just enough sci-fi spice to keep you hooked. Saw it in the cinema and honestly? It delivered. Not profound, not flawless, but it knew how to sprint. t’s a bit draggy in the middle, cue historical exposition dump, but the finale goes full bonkers in a way that’s oddly satisfying. Rewatched it and it holds up as a “rainy Sunday with stroopwafels” kind of film. Not sacred, not heretical, just a fun, fast paced romp through crypts, clues and Catholic chaos. Tag it “Popcorn Theology” and move on. Sometimes, that’s enough.
