Listen, I don't care. These movies have always been stupid and I've always enjoyed them in spite of myself. Maybe it's because Ron Howard has actual directorial talent, maybe it's because I wish Tom Hanks was my uncle, maybe it's because Dan Brown's ideas are fascinating in an empty-headed way. Howard relies primarily on editing chicanery here, often to the film's detriment, and the ending is a little too cleanly resolved, but meh! I enjoyed it overall.

The Hanks/Howard road trip to scenic Europe now pitstops in Florence, Venice and Istanbul, in yet another impressively inept marriage between cultural sightseeing and third grade mystery shenanigans. On the plus side it's more streamlined this time around but a late game twist undermine any attempt at logic in the plot. Irrfan Khan seems to be enjoying himself though, so good for him.

Holy shit, Ron Howard, what happened?! I've watched Willow a hundred times, but Ron just laid a complete, complete goose egg here. This is not just bad, it's one of the very worst wide theatrical release films of THIS ENTIRE DECADE. This is top to bottom incompetent filmmaking. Utterly godawful on every level. Swap Tom Hanks out for fucking Sean Patrick Flannery or something and there's nothing that would indicate this isn't a straight-to-DVD movie. AND NOT EVEN A DECENT STRAIGHT-TO-DVD MOVIE

Mindbogglingly stupid. And yet, for some reason, instead of hating it, I found myself pitying everyone involved. Except for Irrfan Khan whose delivery was simply abysmal.

It's a ride. It makes little sense when examined, but goes so fast that it doesn't give you time to reflect as it moves from one moment to the next. I've seen this kind of thing done much better, but I've also seen it done much worse. Enjoyable and disposable.

Pretty damn grim at some points, both to its detriment (Langdon's hellish and nausea-inducing opening nightmare sequence was a poor choice to have at the beginning of the film) and to its benefit (the unflinching camera during the plot's moments of violence helped highlight the high stakes-see the two falls to death). The rest of it is a mixed bag as well: the clue-hopping remains fun but cheesy, the third-act character twists feel arbitrary but keep you engaged until the suspenseful climax.

The first half is pretty good. Especially the rather exiting chase/hunt through The Palazzo Vecchio. But overall it's pretty standard stuff. It gets weaker as it goes along before losing itself in a labyrinth of boring flashbacks and characters explaining everything they do.

I love movies where characters find clues and chase after them to solve historical puzzles by using their knowledge of history. Zimmer's soundtrack is beautiful and all the locations look incredible and make you wonder about all the beautiful and mysterious things that humankind has built. But the movie is shallow and just gets ripped apart by its attempt to do everything and being an action movie with mysteries. Just boring and ultimately fails to build up the suspense it promised to deliver.

What a waste. I have seen all of this before and Inferno does not bring anything new to the table. At all. It is one big fast-paced action sequence and the beginning is confusing. Hanks does well as usual, but even he can't salvage this one. 37/100.

Not only is Inferno a terrible film, but it's also quite possibly one of the dumbest movies of the decade, and an insult to any talent that Dan Brown holds.

It's easy to see why Dan Brown's popular: he excels at keeping audiences guessing & crafting plenty of (maybe 2 many) reversals & plot twists. What's surprising is that there's so much of an audience for his innumerable asides & tangents into the history & arcana of Western European art. So while the last 30 mins provides some sorta satisfying reveals & a thrilling climax, everything that comes before is a string of riddles w/ answers that r best mulled over on the page or in a lecture hall

I liked The Da Vinci Code (2006), and, to a lesser extent, Angels & Demons (2009), but the whole thing is getting kinda tired now. Ron Howard does a fine job directing, but the script is simply convoluted and boring. The dialogue was often pretty bad, not sounding like a normal human being at all. Tom Hanks is okay, but his character is so thin. I didn't think Felicity Jones was very good. I still want them to do The Lost Symbol, but only because I like things to be complete.

This is bad. Painfully obvious 'twist' from the moment the seed is first planted. And for a series that's largely dependent on it's protagonist being the smartest guy in the room, nerfing his cognitive abilities for most of the movie doesn't leave you left with much.

Famous symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) follows a trail of clues tied to Dante, the great medieval poet. When Langdon wakes up in an Italian hospital with amnesia, he teams up with Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones), a doctor he hopes will help him recover his memories. Together, they race across Europe and against the clock to stop a madman (Ben Foster) from unleashing a virus that could wipe out half of the world's population.

Inferno is without a doubt the worst in the Langdon trilogy. It's not a good movie for the most part. Frantic in editing instead of pace. Large scale in idea instead of tone. Tom Hanks does what he can and it may encourage some to check out the far superior book.

Worse than the one before, which was also worse than the one before. It's like this time they could barely even be bothered with codes and stuff. Some family-friendly escape room on easy mode. The final scene wasted a cool-looking setting with abysmally boring action.

Not that much different from the previous films. The same mediocrity caries through the film. Of course the major change at the end from the book is very, VERY disappointing. I had found it very refreshing in the book but the film, of course had to be a positive ending with the most unnecessary action scenes at the end with bombs and shit.. so stupid..

Dan Brown's books read like films with added exposition dumps, and I enjoyed Howard's first two adaptations, flawed as they may be. Simply put, Infero is a let down. The film begins with overtures of a zombie/ horror film which is quickly abandoned in favour of chases and action sequences. Howard may have caputured a sense of urgency, but forgot to include characters that have any depth and a plot that has intrigue at it's heart. The ending is unsatisfying as is the film that preceded it.

The premise is pretty cool, a villain intent on doing a terrible thing through pure rational reasoning. Certainly better than your "try to take over the world" villain. Some points of the book are changed for the better - eg the reveal of the traitor, but 2 are for the worse (The Sinskey & Provost plot lines) They did a great job of bringing the book to life visually but Felicity Jones & Sidse Babbett Knudson lack intensity given whats at stake, practically phoning their performances in.

Would've been good if they stick to the book's plot. No Hollywood movie tone or mood excuse here. You can't just pluck any stories strictly into those, this is your chance to be, if not received well, at least not forgettable.

The movie is gripping till the end. However, all the blood and terrible scenes doesn't make sense when you complete the movie. Seems, Tom Hank has worked in the movie just for the sake of it. Falls in the trap of novel based bad movies.

Another sequel Hollywood released this year after the long break. Looks like even ideas for sequels are drying out in creative minds of Hollywood. It plays a lot like Jason Bourne type of globe-trotting action movie, and pseudo-historical mysteries are pushed to the background. The clue-solving is often ridiculous ('cracks some obscure historical reference for direction', oh yea, the dude who made the clue also works there). Poor sequel to poor movie series.

Bless Tom Hanks and Ron Howard for putting their energy into making these movies, but it's time to stop. Calling the plot "preposterous" almost feels too kind - it's contrived, convenient, and silly. The problem isn't the direction and acting; it all comes down to this story, which doesn't hold up. Enjoy the sightseeing tour, but forget about trying to make sense of the plot - either in the moment or afterward. Inferno isn't worthless as a movie, but it is as a thriller.

Likably silly Dan Brown hokum benefits from both Hanks and Howard's effortless professionalism on both sides of the camera; it's pleasing to see the fun they are now having with this material after the deadly earnestness of Part 1. Episodic storyline is really just a Bond-ian excuse to send Hanks running through a variety of exotic locales and people, but it's so entertaining (if a bit long) that it's hard to say you don't get your money's worth.

Disclaimer - I had read the book before I watched the movie. The movie is just like the book - extremely fast-paced, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The puzzle solving that takes pages of reading is done with in seconds in the movie due to the 2 hour runtime. This might not be to everyone's liking. The first half stays true to the book but the second half takes a major diversion. The book's end was not everyone's cup of tea and the same goes for the movie too. I liked both though.

Entertaining in that standard blockbuster way.... while falling short like most blockbusters of 2016 did. I had the handicap of not seeing The Da Vinci Code (2006) or Angels & Demons (2009), so I had a few holes to fill, but overall it's pretty strait forward stuff in the usual international sight seeing style of action films we have today.
