educallejero What could you expect from a proffesional director like Ron Howard?He's a cliché. He knows how to direct any kind of scene, knows how to score those scenes, the rhythm the scenes require, everything. He's also soulless. He doesn't elevates anything. Granted. These books (Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons and Inferno) are hard to elevate because Dan Brown (I love him) writes very simplistic almost-direct-to-movie-script-like movies.But still, Ron Howard does this with other material too. In this case, he gets some visuals sueper right (R. Langdon's nightmares). But those are just a few.Other than that, this is a movie to turn your brain off and enjoy the ride, but not much more than that.

fgalbavy-87309 Wow, in over a decade, this is only the second review I've ever been compelled to write. What a waste of 2 hours! THE ENDING!! I'm tired of the fact that Hollywood thinks that movie watchers cannot handle any ending that isn't completely happy. The whole point of the book was so the reader slowly realises that we're not dealing with fanatical terrorists, but with someone who truly cares about the future of humanity and the earth. Even profesor Langdon realizes that maybe sterilizing half the population of the world however cruel, was probably the right choice in the end. Instead what we get is a typical Hollywood chase movie, with the evil fanatical terrorists getting their come-uppance, and the hero saving the day. If you have read the book and enjoyed it, stay away from this trash!

ro-amunds Sat down with no anticipations, just a bag of popcorn. I enjoyed both the movie and the popcorn.

krocheav Mr Howard, it's time to dump the Dan Brown, pulp nonsense 'don't-give- em-too-much-time-to-think-about-it' type storytelling and concentrate on making sense. This (ecological?) story is about as shallow as it gets and the casting, while some sure look good, are unsuited for their allotted tasks. But, while this mess left many audience members anxious for it to finish - it surprisingly did make money! Seems some people still like frenetic comic-book foolishness, so, I guess Mr Howard and Brown will keep churning it out for them. For die-hard action fans only.
