Based on Dan Brown’s bestseller with the same title, Angels and Demons is certainly one of the best films I have ever watched. We can´t say that there were spectacular special effects, nor a brilliant performance of any of its actors, it’s true, we can’t… But, as a matter of fact, and despite our approval or disapproval to the principles of the Catholic Church , this film, along with The Da Vinci Code, criticized in an unseen way the Catholicism and its beliefs.
The Illuminati, a secret society with more than 200 years, the Conclave, the Camerlengo, that in the film is described as traitor in spite of being the Pope’s counselor and adviser… All these criticisms represent a fall from the inside of the Catholic Church and the shake of the principles that it defends.
The Vatican is aware of this and decided to censor it and, in spite of the many asks of the producers to record some scenes of the film there, they disapproved and denied that request.
The critics to the Church and the theme aroused my attention and made me forget the lack of a brilliant soundtrack or an awesome performance. From 1 to 10, it would be a 9. Watch it, it’s worth it.

Angels and Demons was, in fact, a blockbuster. There are films that will linger in our minds forever because of a performance, a special scene, the soundtrack, the special effects, a deep message... This film in particular has shaken and crticised some of the most important fundaments of Catholicism. It implied a new perspective and cinema is also this shift of perspective.
