Tom Hanks is an awesome actor in dozens of fine movies, but in the de Vinci Code & now Angels and Demons delivers a flat performance. The main character, Langdon, is a academic with a lust for knowledge, an insaciable curiousity and a critic of the church to the core with evidence that few have bothered to gather. Angels & Demons describes this man in stiff dialouge in the first few scenes- but the directing & acting transforms the story into a very drawn out murder mystery with splashes of over-the-top action. More imaginative directing and a passionate lead actor would have made this movie explode.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Too Long

Heath Ledger's creepy performance as Joker was the best part of this movie- a great character actor, Ledger portrayed an inner dark side unlike any previous Batman villian had achieved. One has to wonder if Heath's shocking end after shooting this movie is in any way connected to the mood he brought onto the screen. The rest of the movie was highly predictable, repetitive/redundant scenes and dialouge and ideas already covered in the previous movie- Batman Returns. The acting lacked passion(with exception of Ledger)- it was surprisingly flat. The continued 'teaser' endings where truely tiring. The set-up for the sequel-the marriage of two-face and joker- could have happened earlier and 30 minutes could have been cut off the movie without loosing any dramatic effect.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
