Inferno - movie review

[Sam1]

For those of you who liked the DaVinci Code books, movies, or whatever... Don't waste your money on Inferno.  I won't ruin it with a spoiler, but here's an honest review:

A few edgy spots in the first hour of the movie, not as much into the puzzle stuff as the first movies.  Then BAM there was a plot twist, a major one out of nowhere that was supposed to be OMG WTF, but was instead.. Good lord that just ruined the entire movie kind of plot twist.

The best part of the movie was when I dozed off for 5 or 10 minutes in the theater.  Was a comfy chair.

Save your money.

Thanks for the review. I didn't have high hopes for it anyway. Brown's novels are so intricate and detailed it would take several weeks of a daily series to down the Inferno book justice.

However, since my wife is a Tom Hanks fan...I guess we will be going anyway.

On a related note, I hear Werner Herzog's Into the Inferno was great.

She will be disappointed.  His acting was on par with Keanu Reeves in the Matrix.  He's a great actor, but not a magician... Can only shine a turd so much.

Well...that certainly isn't good. But is that a fair comparison? After Keanu doesn't act...he just walks thru and snarls his lines, and shoots guns. lol

I could recommend The Towering Inferno. Nothing beats a 1970's disaster movie.

That was a good one! Did you know that the movie was actually based on 2 different books? The Tower, and The Inferno.

Parts of both books were combined for the movie production. I think I may still have the books. Both were good reads.
