"The Dante Code": 74 points, very neat but lacking surprises, ordinary production

The Dante Code: 74 points.

The film is very neat, but like the development of starring Tom Hanks in recent years, it lacks surprises and highlights. At the same time, there are not many stunts and cannot be called a super blockbuster.

1. Story: Exactly the same as "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons"

Dan Brown's novels have been made into several films in exactly the same process: due to a transnational conspiracy, Professor Langdon is forced to be involved, and at the same time, he has to find clues one by one in famous historical sites in multiple cities, and finally join forces with the police. , to destroy this conspiracy.

Advantages: This time, he joined Professor Langdon's love line, which gave him a spark, even though it was a twilight love.

Problem: The process is exactly the same, even if the puzzles are different in each issue, it can still be tiresome. What's more, the answer this time is not closely related to the interpretation of Dante and the so-called "hell", but is related to other messy graveyards, which is too far-fetched.

Suggestion: Can't let Langdon suffer a few setbacks? Can't he not guess what led to a major failure before he fought back?

2. Narrative: Peace of mind

1. The opening scene was too much to describe the scene of religious hell, which made people look forward to it. It turned out to be just an ordinary transnational commercial crime, which was not related to cultural crime, which halved the impact of the previous foreshadowing.

2. This time I shot scenes in Florence, Venice, and Istanbul. Although the places are good to look at individually, the itinerary is very busy and lacks in-depth excavation of local culture.

What's more, this time, I didn't shoot at a particularly top-level world landmark, which made people feel less refreshed.

3. Actors:

1. Tom Hanks is old, can a younger junior play Langdon? His performance is far from his peak period. If so, it is better to change to a younger one. I won't watch it next time.

2. The heroine: The IQ is very high, and there is a reversal in the middle. The acting is good, but the looks are lacking.

After reading my comments above, you will know that this is a work that you can watch casually, but each link is not very exciting and eye-catching. For those interested in Europe, as well as Dan Brown's book lovers.

    "If you don't work hard, you will naturally separate" "The Da Vinci Code" is old-fashioned. The theory of the destruction of the world is not urgent enough. The climax of saving the world in the end is just two people fighting in the pool. The foreplay is about the hell on earth. , to be delusional. "Dante's Death Mask" as the last shot saved some weight and aftertaste. "There are always some mysteries in life that can never be solved"

    Langdon has an old lover? Black question mark face! At the beginning, the horror atmosphere is very good, but after going to the well, the plot becomes vulgar, two small love lines + very scribbled ending, EXM is changed to this. Shouldn't you say very sorry to the original party? Only the soundtrack and almost live-action shooting can get back one star. Sienna is an infatuated lover, but she is also a genius with high IQ. Unfortunately, I only see her as a brainless and fanatical terrorist, so sad
