Inferno (2016)

Don't listen to the negative reviews

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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.

I expected much more thrill from the double-crossings and intrigues that define Dan Brown's novels, but that isn't here. The secret corridors, passages, and doors of Florence are regrettably shot like a travelogue, and not as sources of suspense. Even the hellacious flashbacks--portrayed darkly in the novel--were uninspired. Sidse Babett Knudsen--andTom Hanks' haircut--saves the movie from being forgettable.

NOT my fave movie, and the ending was not my fave either, but I read the book first... What do we know about the world? We live and die with a span of 75 plus minus years (excluding illnesses). Are we over populated? Yes, according to experts. Can the planet feed us all? Yes to a certain point. But the point at the end of the day is, how do we control over population? I have no children. I lost a set of twins at 11 weeks after a rough trip through ivf. Sad story, sport version: My better half suffered through a rough patch of sterilisation due to illness as a teen. Sad, but let's move on in the dull storyline (boy meets girl, girl meets boy, boy can't have kids. We adopt and we have grandkids now and we have cats). Someone has probably had an unwanted (what a word, and it can be multiplied) child that has a need to be adopted in order to "fill the need" of an adult with no kids (Two please. We now have 3 healthy grandkids. None of them look like us, but love is all around us.) The concept of overpopulation and the solution of sterilisation is neither the question nor the answer. It's a tonic about control and a possible solution. We humans have relative control, let's face it. For instance, I am the youngest of 14 born and 9 alive kids from the same father (I am thankfully the last and only from his wife nr. 3. The other 2 wifes are dead ). Seriously, what is wrong with the world? So what is needed here? Biblically speaking, there were only 2 people when Genesis 1:28 "Be fruitful and many. Fill the Earth and subdue it" was said out loud. Therefore, the movies agenda is both interesting and scary at the same time. What if you couldn't? Alas, it's a movie like any other, with a hint of, "I wouldn't like that" but if you've watched Alien, Elm street or Misery, would you like that thought. in your mind? (Those movies scored high)

Mr Howard, it's time to dump the Dan Brown, pulp nonsense 'don't-give- em-too-much-time-to-think-about-it' type storytelling and concentrate on making sense. This (ecological?) story is about as shallow as it gets and the casting, while some sure look good, are unsuited for their allotted tasks. But, while this mess left many audience members anxious for it to finish - it surprisingly did make money! Seems some people still like frenetic comic-book foolishness, so, I guess Mr Howard and Brown will keep churning it out for them. For die-hard action fans only.
