Loved the rug Tom Hanks had on during the first movie, was so sad when it was tamed down for the second.

 

[cj_iwakura]

No Audrey Tautou, no sale.
(Yes I know the man has a different woman every book, but he's not a player in the films.)

 

[andythinkpad]

Sony has the worst franchises.

 

[scoobs]

Inferno, aka Tom Hanks' Payday. Looks absolutely dreadful.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Isn't she the protagonist in the new Star Wars movie,Rogue One?

Yeah, Felicity Jones. She was also in the Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything a couple of years ago.

Well that's a creepy first post to say about the movie.

I don't think it's creepy to say she's beautiful...?

His sidekicks keep getting younger with each movie.

Well, he certainly has a type - just like Tom Cruise in the Mission: Impossible movies.

 

[The Jackdog]

There's also The Lost Symbol which the production company decided to skip for some reason.

idk why they skipped but i can tell you it was super boring

 

[Banderdash]

I've been saying it for about a decade now, but Tom Hanks is a total miscast for these films.
They should've gone with Gabriel Byrne.

 

[Alpende]

I'll see this eventually, not gonna see it in theaters that's for sure. This is probably a fun movie to watch at home.

 

[Joni]

When are they bringing back the daughter of Jesus?

 

[Jarnet87]

The good news is that with each movie in the series Tom's hair looks less ridiculous.

 

[Nameless]

So are we at the point where Hanks is a mentor/father figure to the hot female lead instead of the love interest?

 

[Jeffolation]

The good news is that with each movie in the series Tom's hair looks less ridiculous.

Harumph.

 

[entremet]

His sidekicks keep getting younger with each movie.

Gotta love Hollywood!

 

[Sanjuro]

Gotta love Hollywood!

Maisie Williams is next.

 

[Kinyou]

Maisie Williams is next.

We have to go younger. What about a baby?

 

[Ray Wonder]

Well that's a creepy first post to say about the movie.

I think a creepy post would be like I wanna stiff that pretty girl yum

Noticing that someone is gorgeous doesn't sound creepy to me. Especially when talking about a movie

 

[Rafy]

I am going to see it tomorrow with my sister. We both liked the book but I am not expecting a masterpiece when it comes to the movie. I am mostly going to pick up my student discount card that I ordered a while ago. This is one of the few theaters here that shows movies in English on release day so I'll need it for Doctor Strange.

Maybe I'll leave a short review in this thread after I come back from the theater.

 

[Sanjuro]

We have to go younger. What about a baby?

Three Babies and a Big THanks.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Uh.. The Da Vinci Code is good.

Dan Brown is an atrocious author.

The movies are dumb but kinda entertaining.

 

[entremet]

Well that's a creepy first post to say about the movie.

I feel like the word creepy is losing its original meaning these days.

People find others attractive. It's human. He didn't say he wants to bone her.

 

[cLOUDo]

Damn another stupid poster with the names wrong, so annoying

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

Is Felicity Jones supposed to playing the same character that Audrey Tatou did in the original? Or did Tom Hanks trade in his sidekick for a younger model?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Damn another stupid poster with the names wrong, so annoying

They're not wrong...why would Felicity Jones get top billing over Tom Hanks?

 

[Relix]

The ending of the book is BS.

 

[kottila]

There's also The Lost Symbol which the production company decided to skip for some reason.

Probably because it's god awful with the worst pay off ever

Spoiler

The hidden treasure is a copy of the bible

 

[Ithil]

It's not as though any of these films have been any good before now. Or books, for that matter.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Inferno's trailer was comedy of the year quality

 

[Siegcram]

Hollywood Reporter - Arguably the best in the franchise so far.

Talk about high praise.

 

[CloudWolf]

Talk about high praise.

I like to imagine that that was a negative review ending on a sarcastic note.

 

[iuxion]

I demand to know why they changed the aspect ratio!

 

[gabbo]

When are they bringing back the daughter of Jesus?

I've only seen Da Vinci Code, and hated it. Do the books and other films not follow on from it? Seems like Jesus' relatives would be a big throughline

 

[Currygan]

a piece of shit, as completely expected

 

[Siegcram]

I like to imagine that that was a negative review ending on a sarcastic note.

Spoiler:

Spoiler

it's not

 

[MontyMarx]

Tom Hanks is better than these films.

Why do you continue to do these films Tom Hanks?

Is it just the money?

Both Hanks and Howard alternate between artsy films and big studio pics. They probably have a helluva time making the movies.

Hanks has two Oscars®. If Nick Cage will get a pass for his shit movies, we can definitely give Hanks a pass.

 

[Crazymoogle]

I'm just in awe at how bad the photoshop is of Felicity Jones and Tom Hanks heads

 

[Kinyou]

Is Felicity Jones supposed to playing the same character that Audrey Tatou did in the original? Or did Tom Hanks trade in his sidekick for a younger model?

I believe he has a new female sidekick in each of these. Almost like a bond girl, just with less Bikini scenes.

 

[Ohwiseone]

Isn't she the protagonist in the new Star Wars movie,Rogue One?

Yes

 

[Slurpy2k20]

Fuck the haters, I LOVE the movies in this series and from the trailer it looks like the new one will deliver. You just need to let yourself be taken for the ride and not frikking analyze every little thing.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I find these movies entertaining for whatever reason. I know it's just Tom Hanks and his young female sidekick running around European cities. But dammit that's what I'm in the mood for right now!

 

[Big Nikus]

The books are fun but the movies are not.
I read Inferno last year and liked it a lot but I'm not interested in the movie, even though I love Tom Hanks and Felicity Jones...

 

[Linkark07]

And to think I liked these books... Although being honest, I still find Angels & Demons a guilty pleasure.

 

[longdi]

Fuck the haters, I LOVE the movies in this series and from the trailer it looks like the new one will deliver. You just need to let yourself be taken for the ride and not frikking analyze every little thing.

I saw the trailers and they showed the whole plot,no?

Anyone spoil the ending and twists for this ?

 

[-shadow-]

Can someone tell my why exactly Angels & Demons is a bad film? I mean it's no masterpiece sure, but I thought it was a pretty good film. Well outside of the terrible ending...

The ending of the book is BS.

It really retroactively killed any enjoyment that I had with the book. Really the worst plottwist I've ever read/seen. Shyamalan has been competent in comparison.

I saw the trailers and they showed the whole plot,no?

Anyone spoil the ending and twists for this ?

From what I remember, because it really is that terrible:

Spoiler

A lot is basically just one big misunderstanding so... Langdon wasn't shot in the head and the assassin that's chasing him only fires blank shots. It was all a ruse for... Some reason. The kidnapped and drugged woman isn't kidnapped and she's being drugged on her instructions due to nausea. The girl tagging along had a relationship with the guy who made the plague and the plague causes half the people on the planet to be unable to be able to make a child.

I think that was about it. It really is absolutely terrible...

[Akahige]

The previous movies were bad, I know that but somehow very enjoyable. They are the type of safe as fuck movies I'd watch with a grandparent.

 

[Boudica]

The first was 27% and the second 37%, so pretty par for the course then I guess. Will probably watch it at some point.

For some reason I was under the impression that these films (specifically the first one) were rated well critically.

 

[Volcane]

I enjoyed the first 2, so will probably enjoy this.

 

[User 479360]

Not surprised. It looks boring and borderline awful.

 

[raindoc]

Empire - It's not the worst of the trilogy, but this is less for fans of thrillers and more for people who are pining after last year's holiday to Florence.

Guilty, will watch this. And read the next book. Dan Brown and Clive Cussler are my guilty pleasures.

 

[Lothar]

Damn I thought the trailer shown at the beginning of Sully looked good.

Well that's a creepy first post to say about the movie.

Please come up with a new word to use. Creepy doesn't fit at all. You sound ridiculous.
