I agree with most of what Colin McEnroe wrote about Angels & Demons (and I'm stealing his title):
It's tough to miss the influence of Jack Bauer on the second entry in the Dan Brown franchise. There's a digital clock ticking down and a fast-paced series of events playing out on an otherwise momentous day. I kept thinking about how useful Chloe O'Brien would have been to Robert "He's a Symbolologist Who Doesn't Play By the Rules" Langdon. "Chloe! Pull up the schematics for the Basilica Mozzarella Profunda. Now!"
McEnroe highlights the film's problems, but I don't think Angels & Demons was a total waste of time. It's a fun ride, even if completely implausible.
