Famous symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) follows a trail of clues tied to Dante, the great medieval poet. When Langdon wakes up in an Italian hospital with amnesia, he teams up with Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones), a doctor he hopes will help him recover his memories. Together, they race across Europe and against the clock to stop a madman (Ben Foster) from unleashing a virus that could wipe out half of the world's population.

Critics Consensus

Senselessly frantic and altogether shallow, Inferno sends the Robert Langdon trilogy spiraling to a convoluted new low.

The real plague: The pervasive sexism that creeps into every aspect of this plot.

Inferno is better than The Da Vinci Code or Angels & Demons, but both of those films set the bar reprehensibly low.

2/4

The arrival of Inferno, Howard's treatment of the fourth novel in Brown's series, feels marked by the underwhelming previous efforts and a decided sense of obligation toward maintaining an unwanted franchise.

1.5/4

As a character, Langdon has even less dimensions than the more animated sleuths Carmen Sandiego and Dora the Explorer, and it's sad seeing Hanks wasting his talents in such a gossamery role.

Overstuffed with clues, just not thrills.

I can’t even read a book, or have a blog as a teenage girl without being stalked and used a muse. For this film by the way. I’m not catholic, I’m not Muslim. This film is a nightmare of conversion therapy and used as an excuse to justify poisoning lesbians to damage their sexual health and sterilize them so they can’t have children. Hence the whole virus plot. A revolting piece of "cinema". It’s about hpv. It’s about punishing lesbians just like MidSommar which is about the same thing and the same people. Ron Howard even looks like Ari Aster.

I tolerated 13 minutes. This is completely over the top. I assume there was an army of special effects workers serving a ridiculous story.

Perhaps it’s because I haven’t read the book, but I felt a little puzzled during Inferno. With The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, I had read the novels, so I knew the backstory and felt like I understood why things were happening. Watching this movie felt like being on a historical roller coaster where I was quickly rushed from one plot point to another without any real explanation. Sure, there were some suspenseful moments, but the story didn’t seem to have the depth or cleverness that the others did. It’s not that surprising that Inferno is the most-forgotten film in the Robert Langdon trilogy.

Not the best movie of the triology, but the photography, the soundtrack and Felicity Jones' performance are very impactful. I'm really gonna miss Tom Hanks playing Robert Langdon... thanks for the memories, Sir.

Before seeing this, I thought that Tom Hanks had never made a bad film. This is truly dreadful but, to be fair, the book on which it's based is worse.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
