Tom Hanks returns with a better haircut in this sequel to The Da Vinci Code.
But is he really the star of the show this time…?
First things first: Tom Hanks has a better hairstyle here than he sported inThe Da Vinci Code.
Over and done, now we can talk about the movie…
Angels & Demonsis a spectacular race-against-time thriller.
And then theres the midnight deadline when the antimatter might go off…
The mind boggles at the complexity of the logistics for this production.
Luckily, it paid off and it looks amazing.
The character-development leaves the viewer wanting to know more.
The relationship between Langdon and scientist Vittoria Vetra is particularly disappointing.
She feels marginal to the plot, relegated to supporting-character rather than sidekick.
The rest of the supporting cast are great and do a good job in setting a truly international scene.
Any movie with Armin Mueller-Stahl, Stellan Skarsgard and Hanks is going to be an enjoyable yarn.
Angels & Demons opens in the UK on Thursday
