Part 3 in the Dan Brown/ Robert Langdon 'books to films' see's Hanks return in another Ron Howard directed film, this time it's "Inferno" that gets the treatment. The female co-pilot in this film, as each story has had one, is Felicity Jones as Sienna Brooks. Waking up in a 'hospital' with 'amnesia' Langdon has to solve the mystery of his lost memory while working on the mystery of solving a modified version of Dante's "Inferno", which will help them uncover a global terrorist plot created by billionaire Bertrand Zobrist (Ben Foster). Having no memory makes it difficult for Langdon to know what lead him here, what's happened and what coffee is called. Twists and turns, high adrenaline, book-smart sleuthing, with a little more paranoia than before. This film really had a lot of potential, more so than the other films - it's darker, has potentially bigger fatality risks for humanity and it has a lot of unexpected twists. Unfortunately I found this to be the weaker of the three films pumped out so far. Dialogue and reasoning was occasionally stupid. Intentions and motives were sign posted. The bad guy is really the good guy and the good guy is really the bad guy - a staple for these Dan Brown films. It's all been done and is a bit tired. The main change was that the riddles and clues weren't marked out as obviously for the audience, in fact they were glossed over pretty quickly as if they didn't really matter - if you've watched the film, think back - what was Dante's map of hell there to point out - most people probably won't remember without it taxing their thoughts for some time. This was a theme - rather than look at the puzzles it was more a case of being a chase film. What happened to the end of the film too? Avid book readers will know that this is not how the book ended - it looks like director and producers wanted their own version of the end to make the film fall in line with Hollywood - nothing gets answered or resolved - the issue of overpopulation, which is a central theme to the movie, is still there at the end. It hasn't been looked at, hasn't been solved - it's all as it was when the film started. A little let down, 5 out of 10. Not awful, but definitely not great either. I don't think there will be many more of these now - this trilogy seems to have gotten worse in all aspects, from directions to cast delivery, from scenery on view, to performances, from story telling to plot twists.
This is the worst I've ever seen. If you read the book , try not to watch this movie. 1.the characters are nothing as described in the book, many as well not even in the movie! Where the hell are they? 2.what the fuuuuuuu just happened to the ending?????? Why changing it so much!!! The ending has nothing to do with what the writer described in the book, why did the hell they changes it and made it too easy and not even fun? 3.WORST THIS I'VE EVER SEEN! STOP DESTROYING THE PEOPLE'S FAVORITE BOOKS JUST TO GET THE DAMN MONEY! 4. So many scenes are not even close to the book. This is just some poor production , and bad acting, everyone seems to be just want to finish the damn movie.
Just very disapointing that it deviated from the book this far. The book had a very strong ending, whereas the ending of the movie basicl sucked in my opinion. Sometimes happy endings are NOT the right choice.
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.
