Good suspense and loved seeing what the vatican city artists and the amazing work they did so long ago. I don't think it has an anti-catholic theme, the church has had a colorful past & its interesting. The bad guy is ruthless with no concern for human life and was very uncomfortable to watch. I thought it would bore my 14 year old son but he loved it, was exciting for him but would not recommend for any younger viewers

ANGELS AND DEMONS is a very satisfying movie. It is very suspenseful and interesting, and has some great action scenes as well. Acting is great too; Tom Hanks and Ewan McGregor satisfy, as always. However, no one under the age of 13 should be admitted into this film under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. While kids aged 14 and up should be fine with the material, it is very violent and several scenes could be very disturbing for kids and teens alike (I even found some scenes very intense). Countless people are shot, one is exploded, and four prominent plot characters are killed in graphic, intense ways (one is suffocated by soil shoved down his throat and the camera unflinchingly shows rats knawing on his body. The second's lungs are punctured and he suffocates, though we don't see anything but him gasping for air. The third and fourth are both burned alive, and while no gore is visible, the camera, once again, doesn't flich as it shows them writhing in pain and agony). There is one intense scene where a man is barely prevented from drowning, and another where two men are almost killed in an isolated room deprived of oxygen. Five people are branded with hot irons (one branding is onscreen the others are not). Blood is displayed in all of these deaths and injuries. However, there is no sex and very, very mild language (one use each of "d**n" and "h*ll".

There was a little too much drugs, but hey its just a movie.You can get it free at http://moourl.com/m05ae

Angels and Demons is a movie for the unbiased, and unoffended, because the major theme in this movie is the battle between religion and science. Ron Howard does a very good job directing this film, he uses color, and excellent lighting effects to show the mood of the scene. The cinematography is also very good with the lighting and angles to add mystery, and intensity to the scene. If you really enjoyed the book like myself, prepare to be disapointed. The screenwriters took out some characters, and changed parts of it to keep it under a 2 and a 1/2 hour run time, but i got really mad when they took out Leonardo Vetra, The BBC Reporters, the romance between Robert and Vittoria, and they changed the ending a bit, and they didn't fully explain why these events happened, and the whole thing about the pope's son. All in all this movie is entertaining, and well paced, but it will do little for the uninspired, and get the book lovers angry.

I have no problem with anti-Catholism, but I have a friend who does. She had heard that Angels and Demons didn't upset people of faith as much as The Da Vinci Code, but when we went to see it together, she was totally offended. The plot is about a Catholic priest that is plotting to kill several people and planning some large "miracles" that were really just set-ups, just to trick the world into believing in God and converting to Catholism. If you are a religious person, especially a devote Catholic, I do not suggest seeing this movie. It is in fact worse than The Da Vinci Code, because it is really happening in modern times, the stuggle between science and faith (in which faith is portrayed as having cheated in this movie), whereas the Royal Bloodline is just a myth.

I love the puzzles, art, history and science--but the violence is dramatically present. The casual loss of life is troubling and I definitely would not take my kids to see it. In fact, I'm not sure I would see it again. I'm 37, and I had bad dreams and won't be able to erase the images of casual graphic killing.

This movie is a load of crap dont waste you money. Read the book to see how poorly it was written. If it didnt have a message against the catholic church there whould never have been a budget for a movie.

Very violent this should be fine for children who can handle death.

Angels and Demons is the best church conspiracy film iv'e seen since the previous movie The Da Vinci Code. This movie takes place before the events of the movie " The Da Vinci Code". Angels and Demons is about Harvard Symbolgist Robert Langdon who tries to save Vatican City from an Anti-Matter Bomb under the city from the religous mafia group known as the IIlumati. This film is talky but it is a good conspiracy thriller. Their is a lot of violence such as the cult group branding religious cardinals, one of the cardinals setting himself on fire. Overall this film is awesome. If you love The Da Vinci Code you will love this film.

Violence is the only issue in this movie.

A great movie for evry1 to watch just a lil violence is all.

It is a good book!I dont know about movie It kind of soounds viloent though I'm still going to see it!

I LOVED the movie but you might wanna make sure you can handle disturbing images and violence before you see the movie. There was a little language but it wasn't a lot, the only words i herd were B word D it h**l but it was mild. There was a little bit of drug use but mild. There were good and bad role models. I think that the only positave message was that one of the missions in the movie seemed impossable to do but the worked together and completed the task.

I saw this movie since my mom dragged me along with her to see it in theaters. (she's a huge fan of The Da Vinci Code) It was an OK movie, I didn't find it scary or thrilling, but it wasn't exactly boring. I thought the Da Vinci Code was better. This movie was pretty violent by some peoples standards, mostly because of the weird ways the people were killed. I didn't find it THAT disturbing though. :/

This movie did not bore me in the slightest, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I read the book last year and the movie is nothing like the book. All together they removed about 5 or 6 characters from the book version. And also, I saw people taking 7-year-olds to see this, they didn't even flinch!

If you LOVED the book, like I did, you should hate the movie. They are almost complete opposites. Several ends don't get tied up in the movie, things that essential to the plotline don't happen, and prominent characters don't appear. Certain characters never learn terrible truths (which in the book lead them to rash decisions and even one to a tragic end) and it sends a very different message than the book. Also, in the movie, they make a reference to The Da Vinci Code, which most of the actors seem to think happened first. But in The Da Vinci Code, they make a reference to Angels and Demons. Something to understand is that Angels and Demons is in fact the PREQUEL to The Da Vinci Code, not the sequel. I am a big fan of Dan Brown and his novels, and The Da Vinci Code movie, but I was thoroughly dissappointed by this movie.

Make sure you can handle DISTURBING IMAGES BEFORE watching.

Okay.. So i went this weekend to see Angels & Demons. First off.. i haven't read the Da Vinci Code, but i have seen the movie. And i did enjoy it..alot. Now..i have read Angels & Demons and it is by far the best book i've ever read. Now even though the movie and book had their differences...they both still focused on the same plot. It is by far the best movie that has been made. It is full of conspiracies and deaths and ancient cults and religion and politics, and i love Tom Hanks and Ron Howard! When they work together the movie turns out to be a blockbuster! So this movie does have some disturbing deaths that will affect younger viewers.. such as.. When the ancient cult called the Illuminati kidnap four of the late Pope's cardinals, they publicly and brutally kill one every hour. Brutal such as branding each one of them on the chest with the five elements of science: Earth, Air, Fire, Water..and there is a secret fifth brand that i cannot tell you what it is. So, after they are branded..alive..they have their lungs cut open, eye balls cut out, dirt shoved down their throat, they are hung above massive fires, they are drowned, they are just brutally killed by the Illuminati who want to get THEIR revenge on the Catholics after in ancient time the Catholics kidnapped four Illuminati members and branded them with a cross and then executed them. But all in all, this is a movie worth seeing. Great special effects, acting, and set up by Ron Howard and Ton Hanks and their crew. Congratulations guys on this major blockbuster hit!!! :)

I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!
