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

Inferno is better than The Da Vinci Code or Angels & Demons, but both of those films set the bar reprehensibly low.
It's a lot more like a tweed-jacket version of Bond or Bourne or most any other thriller out there. But if Langdon is distinguished from the other globe-trotting saviors by his PhD, why aren't his movies smarter?
Unless you are a Dante scholar, and perhaps not even then, following Inferno is a wild goose chase - without the goose.
Ron Howard's mostly lame adaptation of Dan Brown's wholly lame novel.
You know you've made some poor cinematic choices when you have to make Dan Brown characters less complex.
A stylish but tedious thriller that never does catch fire.
[Inferno] hits the ground limping, strewing the narrative with unnecessary confusion right out of the gate.
Inferno may perhaps be the least convincing of the Brown trilogy to give the makers an excuse to explore Europe.
Occasionally threatens to [become] the suburban multiplex answer to a lesser Dario Argento production.
Retaining the fast pace and the ticking-clock type of storytelling of Angels and Demons while rarely going in to dull territory of The Da Vinci Code, Inferno entertains once again with its ridiculous schlock.
[Inferno] has some good surprises. It doesn't have a solid structure, though, and this becomes more troublesome as the film progresses.
Energy counts for a lot when it comes to these films, and for the first time in three attempts, Howard seems to have finally cracked the code.
The third film of the Langdon trilogy starts out a bit messy, mirroring the protagonist's lack of memory, but soon finds its footing. What follows is a fast, breathless riddle hunt through several European cities, Florence getting the most attention )and beautifully detailed so). That doesn't always make sense when you take a step back and think about it. but is pretty damn entertaining and offers quite a few surprises. The showdown plays out rather weirdly, though.
Super Reviewer
An enjoyable action flick, but not as smart as it think it is nor as smart as the audience might hope for!
With some of the least clever puzzles in the Brown oeuvre, "Inferno" proves that even hell can be made boring.
A movie so fast paced and rushed that it almost doesn't give us time to realize how ludicrous the plot is and how little sense it makes, with so many holes and inconsistencies, a lot of empty exposition and even Langdon constantly suffering from laughable "flashback crisis."
