Fucking ridiculous. From the Felicity Jones twist to the whole storyline involving Khan and his company (Khan dying and nobody giving a fuck was hilarious). Complete WTF lol. But I still had fun with it, in the same way as Angels & Demons.

Excellent thriller. The pacing is fast but for a short spell in the second half. Hanks is excellent as usual. Felicity Jones is quite good. The score which is a variation of the The Davinci Code is good.

 

Liked it a lot.

So this wasn't bad - I'm surprised really because the story here basically combines the art mysteries shtick from DVC and the complete preposterousness and OTT of Angels and Demons - but instead of keeping with the previous entries, especially A&D's fitting epic OTT feel, he, much like Zimmer here also with his score, opts for something more restrained in overall feel but upping the ante in some aspects (like the visions/dream sequences etc), so that felt slightly odd...

Hanks and Jones were fun to watch, wish there was more Sidse given how much of a big deal she was made out to be in the first half (also - yay for Langdon getting a Bond girl his own age), but god damn, Irrfan Khan, even though he was in it far too little, just stole the entire thing - now he needs a The Game-like spin off or something.

On par with A&D for me, if they kept the more OTT feel of the previous film, especially score wise (although the ending sequence stuff and the Chevaliers reprise was amazing work from Hans), and if they shot the damn thing widescreen, it'd probably have topped A&D.
