Inferno (2016)

Best movie ever!

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Movie Review: "Inferno" (2016)As much as I wished for a December 2015 major event movie release starring Tom Hanks as reprising character of Robert Langdon for the third time, intently introduced by author Dan Brown in his spectacular novel "The Da Vinci Code", firstly published in April 2003, when Academy-Award-winning Hollywood director Ron Howard, at age 61, can not build juvenile accelerated thriller scene toward a 100-Minute-Cut necessary for a wide-audience release in favor for this Multi-Million-Dollar original source optioned material by Hollywood major studio Columbia Pictures, acting as Sony Picture affiliate, to rebound former successes with two already released Dan Brown novel adaptations "The Da Vinci Code" (2006) and "Angels & Demons" (2009) also directed by Ron Howard, which at least had the advantage to expose a major story-telling twists in the final thirty minutes into visual major league extravaganza at "Vatican City" as out-of-the-ordinary showdown location, when "Inferno" just fails to amaze and fades; too much of mimicked as staged-felt "Istanbul" water reservoir interiors final moments where Dan Brown's page-turner fourth novel of a "Robert Langdon" adventure, released in May 2013, just put an random Sunday afternoon read into satisfaction. This picture, as cut off his hundred-million-dollar production budget, has emotionally-undermined supporting characters, especially with almost no dramatic peak existing essential nemesis character of Bertrand Zobrist, performed by behind-indentifiable nevertheless utmost capable actor Ben Foster, when actress Felicity Jones as Robert Langdon sidekick just keep face and French actor Omar Sy, already neglected in another major Hollywood production "Jurassic World" (2015) concerning screen-time as Irrfan Khan, recouping some thrilling moments of the fairly-written novel as character of Harry Sims, operating a major world-wide operating company as CEO to put then in the movie version "no-present" character of "Zobrist" under pressure for an awaited-viral video release as Tom Hanks' keeps professional face with a franchise near its conclusion, if there were not the hard-boiled presumingly "R-rated" fright-night, out-of-the-dark, close-to character-death experiences as major "Washington D.C." located, third novel-storyline of "The Lost Symbol" to bring some vibe back to a somehow declining-in-popularity leading character of recent Hollywood history.

This movie was pretty bad. Badly directed and scripted. Tom hanks is so terrible that you honestly do not care what happens to Robert Langdon. They seriously need to recast this character.

This is my first review here and I made my account especially for it. I am big fan of the Dan Brown and to me Inferno is his best book. Mostly because of the problem that it tries to tackle (overpopulation) and the incredible twist that it serves you at the end. So I sat to this film with lot of optimism. Unfortunately makers decided that they will completely change the ending and make it retardedly shallow. I seriously can't understand why did they do that. In my opinion - it ruined the whole experience and the big question/problem of the overpopulation and how to deal with it. If you liked the book - don't watch the film. You will proly just get angry like me. 1/10. If you didn't read the book - you can watch it if you have no other choices - I give it 5/10 then.

I read Dan Brown's book Inferno two weeks ago and, according to me, this movie is a completely different story than that from the book, nothing matches the book besides the actual foundation story. There are so many differences between the book and the movie. If I was Dan Brown, I would never have allowed the movie to bear his books name.
