An awesome film. Kids might get confused by all the talking, but teens should understand it.

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".

I rated it 17+ because Common Sense is right, it will bore kids and teens. It's boring with slow pacing and doesn't deserve to be called a thriller.

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

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.
