10 Movies From 2016 That Really Shouldn’t Have Been Boring

10. Inferno

Perhaps this one shouldn’t have been a major shock, given the original movie had such a complicated plot they had to stop and explain it with a PowerPoint presentation. Inferno at least promised to be crazier, with Tom Hanks’ professor trying to stop a doomsday virus while suffering hellish visions.

For the first twenty minutes it’s fairly gonzo and silly, with flashy camerawork and creepy hallucinations, but then the plot kicks in and gradually the audience feels sleepier and sleepier. Hanks and Felicity Jones’ sidekick run around various landmarks in Italy, some shadowy forces chase them and it’s all very, very dry.

Given the amount of craziness contained in Inferno there’s absolutely no excuse for it being so listless, with director Ron Howard treating it with the utmost seriousness despite the story being utter b-movie pulp.
