This review is from the perspective of someone who hasn't read the book but still knows his/her movies.

The movie's start is very confusing at first, where Robert Langdon has some visions but they don't really seem necessary and so it takes quite some time to establish the plot. It lacks the inclusion of Renaissance artists' work or a history lesson here or there, they are there, with the main focus on Dante, however it's still not as much as compared to the previous 2 movies, which just made them so much more interesting.

There a couple of plot twists in the movie but nothing that might throw you off your seat or make the movie more interesting.

Hans Zimmer's background score felt under par compared to the beautiful scores and themes he has given for The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons and countless other movies.

Another thing that I felt lacking was a final turn in the end, like a final nail in the coffin, like the previous 2 movies had.

Overall, I don't know about Dan Brown's novel, but the writing of the script was not up to the mark.

I enjoyed the Inferno film for the most part as I'm very fond of Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon. One of the main reasons that I like these books so much is because they provide such a wealth of background historical information so they're a prefect blend of education and entertainment.

While it was obviously impractical to include an involved literary discussion of Dante's Inferno in the film, it's a shame that it was barely touched on at all as to me, it was one of the most interesting aspects of the entire story. Like many, I was also surprised and disappointed by the changed ending. The book's solution was challenging but elegant; the film…clunky and predictable.

Pity.

What can I say, I was really bored with this movie. There was some aspect of the previous two films in this franchise that I liked. But this had almost nothing going for it, despite the trippy imagery. It just lacked the substance, and clever depth that the previous two films had. This one just appeared like they made it just for the sake of turning the book into a movie. Everything seemed so generic, narrow and boring. This time around it's the same old same old with the character Robert Langdon is once again played by Tom Hanks. This time around another female accommodates him, she is a doctor this time around. While Robert Langdon deals with a cliché case of amnesia. They just seemed like they were on vacation most of the time, instead of it having a rushing, thrilling feel to it. It seemed like the duo was running around solving boring puzzles just for the fun of it. The main leads are once again on the run and a lot of chase scenes ensues which quickly gets boring. With the hitwoman and the feds constantly after them. That is what sums up this movie with the leads just running around, getting chased solving boring puzzles for about an hour and a half way through. Then the last 30 minutes follows the generic pattern, that you as a viewer have seen way too many times in previous other movies. With the good guys trying to dismantle something that is about to go off. I will just say to go rewatch "Kingsman: The Secret Service" again. Sure it doesn't take itself seriously as much as this but at least it's way more entertaining.

4.5/10
