15 Movies That Made 2016 The Dumbest Year Ever

The third (and hopefully-but-probably-not-final) entry into Dan Brown's Robert Langdon franchise feels so brilliantly close to self-parody at times, but it's still painfully evident that it exhibits no self-awareness whatsoever.

With a budget only half that of the previous film, Angels and Demons, Inferno is a woefully naff action adventure flick clearly churned out fast and with little passion, thoroughly wasting director Ron Howard and a cast including Tom Hanks, Ben Foster, Felicity Jones, Irrfan Khan, Omar Sy and Sidse Babett Knudsen.

The film looks ugly with flat cinematography and direction you'd expect from a TV serial, the plot is nonsense as usual but lacks the fun allure of the previous two films, and it even has the nerve to change the superior ending of the source novel.

In short, a failure, even if it did fairly well at the box office. Never bet against Tom Hanks, it seems.
