Critic Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle

Oct 27, 2016

It is a satisfying but thoroughly idiotic film, in which relationships make no sense, character motivations change on a dime, and Tom Hanks has weird hair. But brainless as it is, it’s artful. It is a well-made bit of silliness, a piece of construction optimally designed to maintain audience interest while garnering absolutely no one’s respect. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter Leslie Felperin

Although some of the film’s many twists are not that surprising, they’re satisfyingly delivered, and with a strong supporting cast ...plus striking dream imagery, this adds up to arguably the best in the franchise so far. Read full review

This latest film, which was made on about half the budget of either of its predecessors, is as close as the Langdon-Howard cycle has gotten to actually being fun. Read full review

The chase, chase, chase pace is tiring, not least because it’s not clear who many of these people are and what agendas they’re following. Mixed-up confusion is the result. Read full review

Tom Hanks takes his art down a peg with another paycheck performance as the dramatic cipher Robert Langdon in Inferno, Ron Howard’s mostly lame adaptation of Dan Brown’s wholly lame novel. Read full review

It’s not the worst of the trilogy, but this is less for fans of thrillers and more for people who are pining after last year’s holiday to Florence. Read full review

Take the Dan Brown out of a Dan Brown movie and all you’re left with is Tom Hanks jogging in mild irritation. Read full review

Great movie. Continues the excellent genre of thriller/history lesson that I've come to appreciate in this modernized trilogy. Lost of twists and turn, well acted, very happy with the movie.

Inferno was alot better than I expected it to be and I would say it holds up well to the other Dan Brown installments. It breaks no new ground, the plot is a bit dense and it bastardizes the book a bit but Tom Hanks and Felicity Jones did well as well as some of the other actors.

Very good film! Amazing story and characters but it was very little mysteries. There are an interesting plot coups in Inferno. I can praise the actor role of Tom Hanks. You might enjoy this film.

The first two in the series were good (7 or 8 ratings here), and while "The Da Vinci Code" was not received well by many due to its convoluted hard to follow plot, I had no problem since I had read the novel which was really a screenplay waiting to be made like no other book in memory.
ThisThe first two in the series were good (7 or 8 ratings here), and while "The Da Vinci Code" was not received well by many due to its convoluted hard to follow plot, I had no problem since I had read the novel which was really a screenplay waiting to be made like no other book in memory.
This time the plot is so convoluted and the action so fractured and non-linear it just about lost me from the start. I get the whole contrivance of starting with the lead's amnesia, but at a certain point they run the risk of losing the audience which I believe they did here. Needless to probably say, it goes down the typical over formulated Hollywood route in due time and turns one big boring through the motions cliché.

A couple details to point out: there is an African actor and an Indian actor both of whose English is so freaking incoherent that they need sub-titles or should have been over-dubbed! Diversity of casting is fine and the real world, but INTELLIGIBILITY in movies outweighs this bs always! It's surprising someone of Ron Howard's stature let this by. And all the handheld camera work ( just barely passes the subjective POV test) is not welcome. Please Ron, do not be tempted to try to stylize up and ride current "hip" trends which are detrimental to a film overall and ultimately will not fare well down the road and be looked at as dated someday.
Pretty colors and lights in shallow deprh of field shots that appear acquired with newer DSLR type sensor tech makes for "cool" looking visuals, but the audience for these level blockbusters will never ever be satisfied by those touches. Putting new smaller cameras on planes and vehicles for angles never before seen is fine (just about nothing is unseen at this point though, especially with this replication of GoPro tactics), but is about 1/100th the importance of story, structure, logic, pacing, and performance in these kinds of large endeavors. Hitchcock understood this and was a master of that balance.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. belongs in the series. I do believe the world is overpopulated and I've been saying it for ten years..but enough of that..i don't like the way they felt the need to change the lead female role from a 6 to 7 on the hotness scale. it just seems like a cheap shot...but i guess they are talking about overpopulation so what the hell...i own all three but i've watched this one the least by far… Expand

So many useless characters that don't do anything to an already messy plot, with more puzzles needed to be solved, inconsistency with dialogues and story telling, even Tom Hanks couldn't save this movie
