Inferno

Mr E

Latest Robert Langdon movie from author Dan Brown, starring Tom Hanks and Felicity Jones.

I don't think the book was particularly memorable (apart from the climax). Should be watchable at least.

Full trailer (judging by the massive reaction to the teaser above, the anticipation is reaching fever pitch!)

The trailer gives away most of the plot. When will they ever learn?

If you liked the book don't bother with the movie. . Infuriating differences.

I keep seeing the same clip on line.

"They've developed a plague"
"I can find it"
"Look there's a clue"

I was writing better stuff than that in English homework 40 years ago. What was Hanks thinking of, does he owe someone a lot of money or what?

Sounds like a good un.

Decent if the differences to the book don't annoying you. The other half hadn't read the book and thought the movie was ok. I read the book so freaking hate it.

I expect he's contractually tied to it after making the first one.

Also, someone showed up at his house with a truck full of money.

Was fairly meh.

Hanks was good, as always.. But the supporting cast couldn't do squat with the piss poor dialogue they were given.

Went to see it on Saturday.

I found they dragged out the first half of the movie with confusion and the second half made you forget what happened in the first half.

There was no Flow to it.

the DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons were much better.

Outlaw Pete

Walked out after an hour.

I liked the aspect of story with regards to over population and dilemma referenced but the rest of the story was too repetitive and not nearly as engaging.

Agent Coulson

The premise and moral dilemma of the story is a very intriguing it's just a petty such a hack as Brown wrote a by the number chase story using it.

I think "Dan Brown" is a millstone around its neck. Would people have been so harsh if it wasn't Dan Brown?

Saw it tonight and quite liked it. It's not as bad as the critics are making out.

Having said that, they changed the ending to the book, where if I remember correctly

the virus was released a few days earlier, sterilising half of the population instead of killing it, and Sienna wasn't really bad in the end

. That would have been far more interesting than the "Hollywood" ending that we got.

I've read the book, I now see "hollywood ending" so I'm out.

I actually found the book to be decent and the ending was refreshing.

Disappointing, but not surprising. I suspected they'd do as much as soon as I read the book
