Do I need to watch The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons again?


Sorry if this has been brought up before, but do I need to watch The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons again to really enjoy/ understand Inferno?

Thanks.

That's what I want to no the trailer looks like a different film.

Indeed.

I'm planning to watch Inferno this weekend and even though I really liked TDVC and A&D, it's been several years now and I haven't got the time (or energy) to watch both of those movies again back to back, lol.

Have only seen the first one well when I saw this trailer didn't even think was linked will have to see what others say..

It's like the Indiana Jones movies: same protagonist but completely different plot.

reply

No absolutely not

Thanks man.

I just saw it. Good movie.

Hi.
My friends want to go see it today... I didn't see DaVinci Code, nor A&D... nor read the books.
Do I miss much if I'm totally out of context?

Regards

it's completely a different story.

No, don't watch this movie, waste of time.

I dont think its needed to watch TDVC and A&D again to watch and understand Inferno. These stories flow around the character Robert Langdon who is a fictional professor of religious iconology and symbologyis. He just brought in these cases to solve the mystery. Thats the only connection between these movie (as best of my understanding).

No, and less this one.

Do you hate yourself? Why would you commit 5 hours of your life to that endeavor? And another 2 to watching this?

I watched a few minutes. Tom Hanks reads some lines. Dante wrote the Divine Comedy. It was illustrated by Botticelli. There's a hot chick helping him. Another hot chick wants to kill him. There's a car chase. That happens in the first five or ten minutes. Then I turned it off. Tom Hanks plays Jimmy Stewart or himself. There's no character development.

Irony is like goldy or bronzy, but it's made of iron.
