    Storyline

    Edit
    Following the murder of a physicist, Father Silvano Bentivoglio, a symbolist, Robert Langdon, and a scientist, Vittoria Vetra, are on an adventure involving a secret brotherhood, the Illuminati. Clues lead them all around the Vatican, including the four altars of science, Earth, Air, Fire and Water. An assassin, working for the Illuminati, has captured four cardinals, and murders each, painfully. Robert and Vittoria also are searching for a new very destructive weapon that could kill millions. —XXDustfingerXX

    • Trivia
      During filming in Rome, the crew and equipment were blocking the passage of a bridal party on its way to the church for a wedding. Upon discovering this situation, Tom Hanks personally escorted the party through the filming area and rallied the crew to remove the obstacles in the way. After the bride was delivered to the church (on time), her grateful family invited Hanks and director Ron Howard to stay for the wedding ceremony. Unfortunately, Hanks and Howard's busy filming schedule prevented them from accepting the offer.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 5 mins) When Langdon is in the Vatican library, he passes the book he is reading over to Chartrand and asks him to look for any reference to fire. Chartrand glances at the book and mentions the word "seraphim". Directly above this is a far stronger reference to fire, "di fuoco", which actually is Italian for fire.
    • Quotes

      Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: Christianity's most sacred codices are in that archive. Given your recent... entanglement with the Church, there is a question I'd like to ask you first here in-in the office of His Holiness.

      [Walks towards Robert Langdon]

      Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: Do you believe in God, sir?

      Robert Langdon: [pause] Father, I simply believe that religion...

      Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: I did not ask if you believe what man says about God. I asked if you believe in God.

      Robert Langdon: [pause] I'm an academic. My mind tells me I will never... understand God.

      Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: And your heart?

      Robert Langdon: [pause] Tells me I'm not meant to. Faith is a gift... that I have yet to receive.

      Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: [pauses to consider his words] Be delicate with our treasures.

    • Crazy credits
      At the very beginning, when the Columbia girl is standing holding aloft the torch, it flickers like the anti-matter.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK version has been cut in four scenes to attain a more lucrative 12A rating. The BBFC suggested to the filmmakers that sight of blood splattering onto a character's face, sight of a character screaming in pain as he burns, sight of a wound being injected and sight of a character self-immolating and burning should all be reduced, in order to avoid a 15 rating.

    Why are People Bashing this Movie?
    I go to the movies to be entertained. I was very entertained by the first film in this series: The DaVinci Code. It had plenty of twists and turns throughout to keep me very interested. Angels and Demons is no different. If you enjoyed the DaVinci Code, then you will undoubtedly enjoy this movie as well. Angels and Demons is made pretty much with the exact same style as the previous film, but faster paced, which I liked. Ron Howard kept me glued to my seat for the full two hours without boring me one bit.

    What I really liked about this movie was that even though it is obviously fictitious, they leave enough real history to make it seem very believable. If there is one thing that I didn't like about this movie, it is that the plot itself is very unbelievable (don't want to give any spoilers). But hey, it's a movie. I was entertained throughout the whole thing and was very satisfied with what I saw.
