Angels and Demons gets my personal vote and Summer Movie Favorite. I had read Dan Brown's book Angels and Demons a few years ago, with the same passion that I read Divinci Code.
The movie follows the book very closely in the search for the sect that called themselves the Illuminati from ancient Roman times. They have mysteriously reappeared within the Vatican just at the time following the Pope's death, and while the Conclave selecting the new Pope has been locked in.
The supposed Illuminati have taken four pope candidates from within the Vatican and is threatening to kill and mutilate one pope at 8:00p.m. and one pope each hour until Midnight when a mysterious cannister of antimatter stolen from a Swiss Lab will be released upon the City - destroying the Vatican and Rome in payback for the horror unleashed by the Catholic Church upon the Illuminati centuries before.
Catholic Church - interesting history about the Catholic Church, Rome, Vatican, ancient art, ancient icons and relics.
Ron Howard/Tom Hanks - Link to film trailer
Sets, scenes and special effects - not to mention can't breathe scenes
Question:

I give this movie a ***** stars.
