Angels & Demons, released in 2009, is a thriller film starring Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon and Ewan McGregor as Camerlengo Patrick McKenna. Upon its release, it received mixed reviews; critics praised its fast-paced plot and visuals but criticized it for lacking the suspense and depth of its predecessor, The Da Vinci Code. Audiences generally enjoyed the film's action sequences, though some found the storyline convoluted. Over time, the film's reputation has settled; while it hasn't achieved cult classic status, it is often viewed as an entertaining but somewhat dated thriller. Some fans appreciate it as an underrated gem within the Robert Langdon series, particularly for its restoration of a faster narrative pace compared to the first movie.
