“Angels & Demons” Movie Review

“Angels and Demons” Plot Summary

Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon works to solve a murder and prevent a terrorist act against the Vatican.

Entertaining, smart and great acted.

This is one of that movies that created a previous expectation on how is it going to be, thanks to Dan Brown’s best seller that gave life to this piece… But don’t be fooled.

For all those people who say ‘hey, it’s missing this… in the book, blah, blah’ please stay in literature only and stop comparing the movies with the books, because it’s obvious that the screenwriters modified a lot the original material for turning it into a movie.

Directing, from Ron Howard, is magnificent, I dare to say, one of his finest works to the date. Music by Hans Zimmer is just perfect as always and photography goes with the flow along it.

But, one of the strongest forts of this movie is the acting. Mr. McGregor’s acting is impressing in this movie, and if I give the movie a nine that easily could have been a seven because of many script factor (nothing about comparing to the book, really) it is because of him. He is so inside the character that I had different feelings towards him during the movie all of them really deep. As always, McGregor’s acting turns a good movie into a great one.

Go watch this film… It’s worth it.

And stop comparing books to movies, please.

    “The Peacemaker” Movie Review

    “The Peacemaker” Plot Summary

    A US Army colonel and a civilian woman supervising him must track down stolen Russian nuclear weapons before they’re used by terrorists. add synopsis

    Great first film from Dreamworks

    This films plot feels like it could be from a rejected Bond script; corrupt Russian general steals nuclear weapons in a spectacular train robbery and our heroes travel around the world trying to stop him delivering them with little or no help from anybody outside their own agency apart from one Russian who dies fairly early on. Don’t let that put you off though as the story, while somewhat cliche is exciting

    The opening sequence where a train full of commandos pulls along side a train carrying nuclear warheads on their way for disposal and transfer most of them from one train to the other was exciting. When they detonate one of the bombs to hide their crime from the Russian authorities the detonation gets the attention of the US. At first it is thought that it is a terrorist attack but soon they realise it was just cover for a robbery. In charge of the US investigation is newly promoted Dr. Julia Kelly assisted by Lt. Col. Devoe, played ably by Nicole Kidman and George Clooney

    What follows is a thrilling adventure as they first go to Vienna to meet up with an old friend of Devoe’s and follow up a lead about a Russian general who officially died on the train but had apparently phoned his girl friend afterwards. When Devoe’s friend is gunned down they flee in his car and what follows is a fairly spectacular sequence where the assailants pursue Devoe and Kelly but end up dead in a Vienna square

    Now our heroes know where the bad guys are going and what vehicle they are in the move to intercept it, the only problem is the bad guys are still in Russia and Devoe and his choppers don’t have permission from the Russians to cross the border. Of course he crosses anyway and is able to retrieve all but one of the weapons. This weapon eludes them and finds its way to the hands of a Bosnian who intends to detonate it in New York

    Like all such thrillers it lacks believability if one thinks too much about it but that doesn’t matter as it is such an exciting story with good heroes and villains. Talking of villains it was nice to see that the main villain wasn’t really a bad man, but a good man broken by the effects of war. It was also nice to see a film where there is no romantic involvement between the leading lady and the leading man. I’d definitely recommend this to fans of spy thrillers in the Bond mould.
