Ron Howard and Tom Hanks have delivered another great movie together. Angels and Demons is long, but keeps you engaged every minute. While everything from the book couldn't fit into a 2 hour and 20 minute movie, it is generally consistent and captures the book's spirit and excitement. The great scenes of Rome are an added bonus .I doubt that it will be the critics's choice for Best Picture awards, but it certainly pleased the people in our packed theater -- some of whom applauded at the end.
