ANGELS AND DEMONS (Theatrical Release USA 2009)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì

Angels and Demons—better than its prequel—provides a uniform and uncomplicated storyline. Tom Hanks reprises his role as Professor Robert Langdon. Director Ron Howard did terrific directing work. The casting department left nothing out by choosing Ewan McGregor, Stellan Skarsgard, and Rance Howard as part of the cast. This is an overall good watch. Highly imaginative.
