I read angels and demons on my flight to Australia when I moved there in 2004. It was a great book and was a lot more interesting than The Da Vinci Code in my opinion. The movie follows the book pretty closely and had some great actors in it to push the story along.
The difference for me, though its been a while since I read the book, is that I don’t remember the killer that’s doing the work for the Illuminati, being such a bad ass like he’s shown in the movie. This actually helps the movie quite a bit, but his part wasn’t as big in the book.
I really don’t have many complaints, overall is a good story, though I think as a book it works better than a movie just because of the subject matter and the back story that the movie doesn’t have the time to really dive into. The film is pretty similar to the previous Da Vinci code and tells the story well.
Overall I give it 3 out of 5 stars. It’s a good entertaining movie, but doesn’t do anything unique in its story telling to make it stand out. Recommended but not necessarily a must see. This movie didn’t excite me all that much, which is why this review is so short 
Not much in cheese factor here, just a pretty serious thriller.
