Inferno — For the fans of the series only — 6*/10

  • Overall: This third installment is the least interesting chapter (read my review of the first one here and the second one here). Director Ron Howard can do much better.
  • Who is it for? Those who really need to see more of The Da Vinci Code world.
  • Synopsis & informationhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt3062096/
  • Known actors: Tom Hanks, Felicity Jones, Omar Sy, Irrfan Khan and Ben Foster.
  • Setting: History rich Europe.
  • Style: Intrigue, with some suspense and a bit of action.
  • Pacing: Awkward.
  • Story: There is an intrigue which is interesting, some action, but what made the original so good, the historical background and the puzzles, just isn't really good.
  • Ending: Mostly action based, which is weird for the type of flick.
  • Dialogs: Interesting. Well made.
  • Characters: Not that interesting or well built. It is the movie's biggest weakness.
  • Acting: Beside Tom Hanks, the rest of the cast is adequate, but not more.
  • Visuals: Nice.
  • Special Effects: Adequate.
  • Afterthoughts: I wasn't expecting much and I didn't get much. I had been disappointed by the second chapter and unfortunately this latest one isn't better, it's a notch down. Still, it is entertaining and I was happy to see Langdon once again. I'm just glad I didn't pay the full price.
