My late review of this movie should tell you something about my level of interest in it. Angels & Demons is marginally better as movie than The Da Vinci Code; there are fewer scenes of Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) poring over old documents and explaining history. The plot is just as much of a mashup of anti-Catholic hysteria and historical speculation; this time around it involves the Church's relationship with the Illuminati, a secret society depicted as superrationalists fighting Rome's outsized spiritualism. Everyone from Ron Howard and Hanks on down looks bored with only the professionalism of Stellan Skarsgard (inscrutable Vatican cop) and Armin Mueller-Stahl (inscrutable Cardinal) preventing me from drifting off. Dan Brown's desire to let no Catholic go untainted is exposed in the last half-hour; the movie has about four endings which aren't worth the time it takes to describe them. Look for the scene where Ewan McGregor's parachute shows up- that's when things are about to get crazy.
