Critics Consensus

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

Anne Cohen Refinery29 The real plague: The pervasive sexism that creeps into every aspect of this plot. Jun 28, 2017 Full Review Jordan Hoffman Vanity Fair When you want to put down Sky Mall for a few minutes, Inferno will be right there, on the back of the seat in front of you. Dec 12, 2016 Full Review Christopher Orr The Atlantic Inferno is better than The Da Vinci Code or Angels & Demons, but both of those films set the bar reprehensibly low. Nov 14, 2016 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 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. Rated: 2/4 Apr 9, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 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. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 18, 2021 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Overstuffed with clues, just not thrills. Rated: 2/5 Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Korra N Somehow the worst of the Robert Langdon films, Inferno is poorly written and somehow fails to adapt even a fairly compelling ending from the source material, making this "thriller" a waste of time. At least Hans Zimmer's score is decent. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Zachary L I don’t understand the hate yes it could have been much better but I think it is is solid movie that I would watch again Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Karl E I originally wanted to rewatch this because there is no way this book could have produced such a horrible movie. Thankfully I came across an interview Ron Howard gave where he admitted he dumbed the movie down to make it MORE Hollywood and to help people understand it better. All because he couldn’t imagine an ending that wasn’t cookie cutter fight scene climax. Ron Howards are the problem with Hollywood. Don’t be a Ron. UPDATE I have rewatched this and have determined that Ron probably just skimmed the cliff notes. This is the type of crap book report teachers hate from kids who opt for cliff notes instead of actually reading the book. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Danish K Although I really wanted to, I did not feel a connection with any of the characters so I couldn't get invested. Also, the sense of danger and urgency felt contrived and uninspired. I found it difficult to believe that a middle-aged civilian could run circles around highly trained agencies. Overall, I get the sense that the team was contractually obligated to make the sequel so they churned one out. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Viriane L I enjoyed it but what really pissed me off was the girl running away with heels like girlie couldn't just take off her shoes to walk up there what a waste of time Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Blu B Worst One. The editing and pacing are terrible. The core story is simple enough but it just completely forgets about it in the middle and throws tons of unneeded subplots, convuluted segways, farfetched plot twists, and so many unneeded blurry flashback scenes. The flashback scenes feel so unneeded and really become a distraction and the biggest issue in the first half. It also gets very fast in editing at times out of nowhere and throws things off as well. Once that dies down it straight up doesn't make sense at all for 45 minutes and just is so complex and convuluted I can't tell you what is happening and than it gets really jumpy as well. Any tension which wasn't much it had from the first half just evaporates completely. The plot gets so ridiculous it's insane. At least there isn't any church bashing or preaching in this one but you get a crazy nonsensical plot in place. The music is boring, over the top, and overused but ok overall. And the cinematography/acting aren't that good. This one arguably has the least amount of plot expose but it still has a lot and there isn't much character in this because of how convuluted the story is. The shaky cam at times during fights is a bit much and the lighting isn't great. The settings really are very forgettable also arguably the least memorable of the franchise. Hanks is the best thing in this but even he's just ok. A disappointing end to a subpar trilogy overall. Skip This. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
