There are both good things and bad things about this movie, but one of the improvements over the first film is that the "ticking clock" aspect of the storyline keeps the action moving. Other characters that Langdon interacts with include Father Patrick McKenna (Ewan McGregor), who is basically in charge of things at the Vatican in the absence of a Pope Cardinal Strauss (Armin Mueller-Stahl), who is overseeing the conclave for the election of a new Pope and Swiss Guard Commander Richter (Stellan Skarsgård), who is head of security at the Vatican. Upon arriving at the Vatican, Langdon teams up with Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer), one of the scientists who had been working on the God particle and knows all about its dangers. Then, at midnight, they plan to detonate the anti-matter, which will destroy Vatican City and level much of Rome. A device containing anti-matter (aka the "God particle") has been stolen as well, and the kidnappers – who claim to be a modern-day version of the Illuminati, an ancient secret society with grievances against the Catholic Church – say they will kill one Cardinal every hour beginning at 8pm. This time out, Langdon (Tom Hanks) is called to The Vatican in Rome where the Pope has recently died and the top four Cardinals expected to be in the running to be the next Pope have been kidnapped.

But other than a few references to Langdon's 'history' with the Catholic Church by a few of the characters, one doesn't need to be familiar with The Da Vinci Code to understand or enjoy 'Angels & Demons', although obviously it's encouraged – just to have a sense of Robert Langdon as a character going into this sequel.
Thankfully, both stories are fairly self-contained, so when it came time to make this movie, Ron Howard wisely opted to turn it into a sequel instead of going the prequel route. As many of you already know, Dan Brown's 'Angels & Demons' actually came before 'The Da Vinci Code' and was the first book to introduce the world to the character of Robert Langdon.
