Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like Dan Brown and have read many of his novels. When it comes to Hollywood converting a good tale into a movie, many times these folks leave me flat and this is one of those times. While it holds true to most of the original story line, IMHO this adaption is modeled more after a "ride on the coat tails of an established franchise" rather than making a quality film. It is too bad that this series took the RFC [reach for the cash if you don't know what this abbreviation means] turn and I suspect that this may be the last of this series we will see. The actors try to do their best but behind their efforts you can feel the bean counters cutting here and trimming there to "maximize profits." Tom Hanks cannot be blamed for this; its just the typical and unfortunate road a successful series takes. Even the Star Trek series did this just to name one other [I can hear the flames now coming from die hard Trekkies of which I consider myself to be one]. So for casual entertainment, you could buy this providing that you do not expect too much more than just mindless entertainment. I did fall asleep so you may find it another movie from which insomniacs could recover. But to think that this film will win any respectable awards would be IMHO stretching it. Three stars is generous but I give the nod to the performers who at least *tried* to maintain their integrity.

This is the third film in the Robert Langdon series. You should know what the film will be like by now. However unlike the first two, thisnone doesn't focus so much on religion. Only Dante's Inferno which is the H word (BB won't let me say it). But even then it's only the image, not the idea. Some of the supporting cast is great and some are just...there. Tom Hanks is great as always, but the way the movie begins, it's hard to forge an emotional attachment with him. That may be due to the director's choice of wanting the audience to piece everything together with Langdon as the film goes along but it could have been done better since it's jarring and comes all of a sudden. The cinematography is great and the score for the most part is too. There are some pieces of music that seem too much. Overall you know what you're getting into if you decide to watch it. And at 2 hours long, it's the shortest of the three. But when you watch it, there are certain things that are introduced that are never brought up ever again which could have been cut out (especially a scene involving coffee). The movie slows down at times and it can get very boring and the plot seems too convoluted and crowded at times but as stated it isn't terrible or even bad. Just okay.

If you enjoyed Angels & Demons and The DaVinci Code you will probably enjoy Inferno. This is not the best of the Robert Langdon series. I tend to like most Ron Howard directed movies but, this one is not up to par with the rest. The two previous movies I enjoyed the adventure and the mystery. Inferno begins with what seems as though the world is against the Tom Hanks character with is a departure from Angels and DaVinci. This made Inferno not of the same type of movie. This uncomfortable beginning made for a very uncomfortable to watch movie and not what I expected. It was interesting to watch but ranks lower on my enjoyed scale.

I've enjoyed the Dan Brown films with Tom Hanks as symbologist Robert Langdon. I must admit, I was more a fan of the first two. They seemed more connected as far as a story line. I haven't read the book that "Inferno" was based on and found myself having a difficult time following the story - who's the good guy, who's the bad guy, what's the point of all this, what is Langdon's objective? It just seemed a bit confusing on the first watch. I will watch this again, though (probably multiple times) so perhaps the deeper story will reveal itself... I would recommend this, but with reservations and a little explanation as to why.

I'm a big fan of Dan Brown's work and the film adaptations of Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons were good, I think this one was a little lack-luster in terms of portraying much sense of mystery. Still a decent film that I enjoyed, but compared to the other films it didn't seem on par. The UHD presentation was quite good though. One of the better UHD presentations to date. Resolution and detail is appreciable and the HDR and WCG capabilities are well represented here.

Entertaining for fans of Dan Brown's series, but the weakest of the series. Had quite a number of clever twists and turns, that made this an admirable effort at interesting/suspenseful detective story, but did not feel as rewarding as previous efforts on the cultural/artistic backdrop of the story, which is after all the main trademark of Brown's stories. This was particularly true of rather brief use of the glorious historic and artistic settings of Venice and Istanbul. Thus, for what I was expecting of a Dan Brown story I was a bit disappointed.

What I mean by the title is that, in my opinion, out of the 3 movies that have been released so far this one is the 3rd best, aka last. The beginning felt rushed and made very little sense, and seemed a bit out of place, when compared to the rest of the franchise. After you get over the the first act the middle gets much better, only to be let down at the end, by an ending sequence that has way to many holes and gaps. Not a bad story, but I think they went in the wrong direction with the directing.

I enjoyed the pacing of the movie at just about two hours long and it stayed close to the book plot, but this just wasn't a strong film. My favorite character was actually Mr. Sims who seems to have a realization that his company was harboring a terrorist and decides to act. The main characters are too obvious in their actions, but maybe this is a defect in the novel that I don't remember because I read it so long ago. A movie to watch once but not again

Not the best but Hanks acting pulls the stlory through. Plot not as compelling due to a break from the church conspiracy theory. CorporAte subplots don't seem as unexpected as a religious historical on going conspiracy to hide the truth. On the other hand everyone knows Malthus' theory on expotentisl population expansion ser Omega Man and Soylent Green cheap movies staring Carlton Heston the previous most trusted actor because he plAyed Moses.

While INFERNO is entertaining, it seems to be straining as it moves along. The beginning drags as we see Hanks's Langdon in some kind of hazy illness and it takes a long time before we find out what's wrong. The twists and turns are not frequent and the movie seems to be an extended chase with some stops along the way. The A/V quality is top-notch and the extras are extensive and informative. I hope Ron Howard can return to his heyday soon.

This is a decent movie. I love the Robert Langdon series, so I knew that I would go see it when it came out. Part of my purchasing of the movie is so that I will have the set, but I really did enjoy the movie overall. Though, it wasn't as good as either of the first two and lacked a lot of the historical mystery and intrigue that the first two movies had in them. Still, I hope that Ron Howard gets to complete the series.

Great visuals, especially of places related to the story. As a fan of the Langdon series, I've noticed that they are progressively getting worse, maybe because the mystery and intrigue is no longer novel. In this case, replace Da Vinci with Dante and some of the same formula is used from the first movie but the ending is changed. All said, entertaining movie, high quality Blu Ray, great visuals and great cast.

I thought Inferno was good but it was not on the same level as The Da Vinci Code or Angels & Demons as far as portraying much sense of mystery. Still a decent film that I enjoyed, but compared to the other films it didn't seem to keep you on the edge of your seat.

The third in the sequel isn't that great. For the price of FREE it's well worth it. Felicity Jones is a plus to the experience. She was great in ROGUE ONE (buy that title if you haven't) What happened to The Lost Symbol?, that's what you get Ron Howard for skipping a book in the series. Not every Langdon movie has to be shot in Italy. If you buy it enjoy the cinematography and The beauty of Italy.

I only got this movie because it supposed to be in Auro 3-D sound. However it is not encoded in the 3-D audio like it reads on the website that shows which movies you can buy in this new format... we Americans want to be able to enjoy this format as well not just for the Europeans It's a pretty good time anyway

Bought this complete my collection of Dan Brown series. The movie was not that great as the first two were. The behind the scenes were very minimum and not interesting. I don't if this will stop Tom Hanks to another movie as Landon who knows. Hope the script will be better in the next movie.

An interesting turn for the series. I liked the movie, but it will never be as good as the original. It just didn't seem to capture you with the mystery and the puzzle solving as much as it did in the previous titles. I would recommend watching if you enjoyed the other two, but don't set expectations too high.

I read the book and liked it very much. I have also sen the other Dan Brown( Robert Langdon) films and liked them very much. However, this movie was hard to follow. The action was fast paced, but I was never able to grasp where this movie was trying to take me. And I remember the book. Perhaps that was My problem. Great book, mediocre movie.

Caution: This movie may give you mental whiplash. Too many time shifts in the story line challenges you to stay interested. Good actors struggle against a shotgun script. The good videography and intresting locations I found to be the best part of the movie. Definitely does not standup to the standard set by the first two but is an ok watch.

Cool but different than the previous two. Had the same type of mystery as Da Vinci Code and Angels Demons but the story telling with flashbacks was kind of annoying. Get it if you want to complete your set...other wise pass. Also if you read the book - you will not like this. If you haven't read the spoiler yet, I won't ruin it for you...
