i have neither read any of the book nor see the first movie so after receive pass to a preview show and i have no expectation . angel and demon be a muddled and convoluted film lack direction or any believability . there be very little character development and i never find myself care about the plight of the protagonist while the reverse be true and i be more interested in see how the antagonist would succeed a the first half of the film be almost exclusively focus on why the illuminati be who they be . the film jump from location to location with little explanation or reason and expect the viewer to believe that everybody in the movie be an ally when they first meet . any analytical mind will realize this be highly improbable . the climax be extremely cliché and leave you ask what happen and wonder why nobody consider some of these point and it feel very tack on and unnecessary . the actor be not particularly believable in their role and mostly because i find it difficult to believe that scientist and professor and and men of the church would act in the manner that they do without regard to the consequence of their action . event that happen be not plausible in the slightest and the pace of the movie be questionable with the character jump around while on a tight schedule and i have to question how the protagonist manage to get from location to location on time and every time . the most pleasing part of the film be the cinematography and i find it a beautiful film to watch but it be such a mess and that i find it would not be worth pay to view in theatre .
