What: Angels & Demons, movie starring Tom Hanks, book by Dan Brown. The book was a prequel to the Da Vinci Code, however the movies were released in reverse.
Why it's my one of my favorite things: The book is an outstanding read. I recommend the illustrated version so you can see the photos and symbols they are referring to while reading. The plot is well developed and provides the reader with a great action packed suspense story. Set in Vatican City the movie provides a glimpse into the Catholic church and the ceremonial process of electing a pope. This provides not only an interesting story, but a look back historically.
The movie stays true to the story in the book. Tom Hanks does an excellent job in the film. A very well made movie with all the bells and whistles.
Pros: Great action packed suspense story and very true to the book.
Cons: For people that are very religious it does show conspiracy in the church and can be offensive to those with strong religious beliefs.
How: Now out on DVD for your renting pleasure.
