Dumb movie. The ending was hilariously stupid. Tom Hanks and that hair deserve to be thrown away. I could care less about this complex piece of dung. No angels could save this disaster of a movie.

Angels & Demons is pure hell to watch.
A very poor adaption of a good book. The plot holes are painfully prevalent, and Tom Hanks can't save the terrible script he is handed. The movie has artificial suspense leaving viewers without a careAngels & Demons is pure hell to watch.
A very poor adaption of a good book. The plot holes are painfully prevalent, and Tom Hanks can't save the terrible script he is handed. The movie has artificial suspense leaving viewers without a care for whats going on. By the ending you will have no idea why or how any of the prior events happened, and for that reason the film fails.… Expand

The usual pseudo-esoteric, babbling thriller Umberto Eco made fun of in his Foucault's Pendulum. A professor making wild guesses and constantly running somewhere, because that's how you do research, a structure stolen from the movie SevenThe usual pseudo-esoteric, babbling thriller Umberto Eco made fun of in his Foucault's Pendulum. A professor making wild guesses and constantly running somewhere, because that's how you do research, a structure stolen from the movie Seven together with the unnecessary and disgusting naturalism, failed attempts to convince the audience that the Church is in fact hip and cool, also not enough kung fu.

Also, one female physicist playing the role of Dr. Watson chosen purely for her looks, and Galileo writing secret messages in modern American English. I hope you did not have to pay to see this.… Expand

This was a film for people who have had a lobotomy or decided to check their brains in at the door. The plot is absolutely ridiculous. There's no character development at all.

There's no character development at all. As a matter of fact there's no dialogue or sexual tension between the two lead characters. There are more plot holes than in swiss cheese. Unless one believes that the lowest man on the totempole can manipulate the books, the archive chambers, the Pope, all the Cardinals, the head of the Swiss Guard, and an assassin. And Rambo can also, kill, maim, and torture. And if that isn't enough they want you to belive he can time events down to the nano second. Want more? Can't any of us have the ability to fly awaiting helicopters, parachute like a storm trooper, set car bombs, but somehow overlook the basic Big Brother camera that was watching his every move. But of course no one but Tom Hanks after two hours and twenty minutes of agony is smart enough to figure it out. At least Italy looked nice when there wasn't explosions and murders galore. It was laughable without any suspense whatsoever. Ridiculous is an understatment. Believe me the Catholic Church has nothing to worry about!… Expand

Awful awful movie... Terrible dialogue, you could almost say before they did what was gonna come out of their mouths. Woeful casting, ewan mc gregor should be ashamed for being involved in such a load of crap (money aside). Totally Awful awful movie...

Awful shoot em up bloody murder mystery set against the backdrop of the Vatican in Rome. Mindless senseless brutality with Tom Hanks running around Rome like a chicken without a head.

Not the worst movie I've personally come across... but close! I really felt like I was watching a 150 million dollar joke.
A lot of the acting and scenes feels really unconvincing and borderline ridiculous, a lot of the lines made me cringe.Not the worst movie I've personally come across... but close! I really felt like I was watching a 150 million dollar joke.

That Ending! If it wasn't bad enough when I saw this ending I wanted to upchuck. Forgotten the minute you leave the theater. It has to be a total embarrassment for Tom Hanks to have this on his resume. Just awful!

After seeing this movie, it left only one mystery unsolved....how do I get my money back! A lame movie and a definite contender for a golden rassie for worst film and or worst director.
