Leave your thoughts about Angels & Demons.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis kind of film requires us to be very forgiving, and if we are, it promises to entertain. Angels & Demons succeeds. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerAn OK action film, but only the humorless will find it heretical – or educational. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungPlucking the same violent, occult strings as "Da Vinci" while avoiding its leadenness, Angels keeps the action coming for the best part of 139 minutes. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe new movie is an opulent-bordering-on-hysterical mass of chitchat and chase scenes. |
| TimeRichard CorlissAs transparent as this device is, Angels has elemental satisfactions in its blend of movie genre that could appeal to wide segments of the audience. |
| Chicago ReaderAndrea GronvallThe movie includes some tony philosophizing about the conflict between science and faith, but it's mostly a beat-the-clock chase through Rome (nicely evoked in Salvatore Totino's lush cinematography). |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversThe movie can be enjoyed for the hell-raising hooey it is. |
| New York PostKyle SmithIt's got enough going on to sustain five blockbuster thrillers. That is its blessing and its curse. |
| PremierePatrick ParkerThere are so many facts presented that many of them feel forced and trivial. We were also a little disappointed with the twist ending. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyA far sight nimbler than its plodding predecessor, where the Holy Grail turns out to be a Holy Girl. The sequel is a little like CSI: Vatican City. |
