There's a virus - maybe already released, maybe in him - that can kill half the population of the world.
They access Google one time because somehow neither of them managed to memorize Dante's entire book, but every other obscure detail they knew.īut the biggest problem with this movie is trying to understand exactly what is going on.

At least in the Da Vinci Code they had to occasionally ask someone or look something up, but no, he has been studying and no longer needs help. And despite being drugged and suffering from a head wound, Langdon still knows everything about both, including whether the levels are out of order or if there are tiny little differences between one version and another. His and Botticelli's, who painted Dante's levels of hell, or the Inferno (ah yes, the title of this masterpiece). But here, we're given a doctor who coincidentally (or not) seems to know everything about Dante, the person whose clues they are trying to solve. And amazingly enough, he's always paired up with a beautiful woman, who despite being a doctor or nuclear scientist, somehow seems to know just as much about whatever art clues he is following to solve whatever mystery is afoot.Īnd that formula, as unbelievable as it is, usually works. Beyond his fictional profession of being a "symbologist," he's apparently an expert in European art and history because there's nothing this guy doesn't know. He's witty, sardonic, and knowledgeable about everything to the point of being that annoying kid in the class who knows the answer to everything. That really must be it because at the end of the movie you will find yourself caring very little about any of the characters, including professor Langdon (Tom Hanks) who is usually a very likable and interesting character. Maybe it's because it's so bad that you really don't care. But as is, I have watched it three times and I still can't tell you what really happened. Maybe if I had, the movie would have made some sense. Although, I have to admit that this is one I hadn't read. And as cheesy as they may be, Dan Brown's books are very entertaining. Seriously, how do you mix those up and get such a horrible movie? I've been a fan of Tom Hanks movies forever, especially when Ron Howard is the director. This movie had everything going for it: Tom Hanks, Ron Howard, and Dan Brown. If you like Dan Brown and Tom Hanks, you will still like this movie. By the way, many of the characters seem to be able to teleport from one locale to another, too. The clues are so obtuse, in fact, that no one could follow them, unless he wrote the screenplay. Other associates are deliberately not told where the virus bomb is, and instead are given an obtuse starting clue that might lead them to the bomb (if they are very smart, and dispose the services of the hero's expertise), where their mission would be to ensure that no one prevents it from blowing up. Some know exactly where the bomb is but are content to wait there and be infected when it blows up. But instead of just releasing the virus he puts it in an aerosol bomb somewhere, with a countdown timer. A genius wants to cull the world's population by half in order to save both the planet and humanity itself. The starting premise is fine, stock thriller fodder. This is a visually stunning movie with lots of great chase and fight sequences, set in some very lovely cities.īut the storyline just has too many unbelievable elements and non-sequiturs, and the clues are so labored, that after a few minutes all that's left are the visuals. Although the film ending was appropriate and satisfying, I liked the book ending better.Ī fun 2-hour movie experience when you need a fast diversion.
A fun movie to watch multiple times, the storyline emphasizes more the drama than surprises, thereby making the movie more focused and enjoyable. Tom Hanks' performance was well done, while not upstaging the presentations by the other actors, something that made the movie more believable. Although there are some variations from the book, obviously for time and visual media format, other than some minor revisions at the end, both movie and book are nearly the same. Loved the on-location filming that added to the drama's experience and the characters in the movie. This standalone film sequel has no relationship to the prior two films, other than the author, Ron Howard, and Tom Hanks, which is a good thing, making the order viewed unimportant. The shortest of the Robert Langdon movie adaptations of Dan Brown's book, which was the longest of the most famous trilogy volumes.
