I literally watched The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons a week or two before we went to see this in somewhat of a "preparation" I guess.
I can't see films out of order even if you don't necessarily need to see the first ones in a series to understand the others.
Although I wasn't that fussed about The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons was only alright, I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
It definitely started off with a bang and was quite dark and strange from the first few scenes.
It did take a little while to get your head around but it does all come together and make sense in the end.
Tom Hanks did another fantastic job as Robert Langdon, a symbology professor at Harvard, who has to decipher the meaning of a clever trail of ancient clues.
Felicity Jones also did a great job accompanying him.
I must say I didn't see the twist coming even though it seemed pretty obvious to Adeel.
Once this twist is revealed the end of the film develops pretty quickly with a very tense and dramatic ending.
I loved the whole concept of combining the elements of Hell, a virus and Dante's paintings together.
I found it way darker than the first two. In fact the imagery Tom Hanks hallucinates/remembers throughout is quite horrific.
The setting was beautiful as well; makes me want to visit Italy all the more!
All in all, I think I preferred this one over the other two.
