InkHeart

by rottencritters

My son loved the book so we had to see the movie. We went with friends who don't usually like fantasy movies, but they loved it!! I think Brendon Fariser is a great actor and this movie was awesome.

Inkheart

by seerainbows

My husband, 10 year old daughter and I loved this movie. It is a great family movie and everyone should read and add the series of 3 books by Cornelia Funke to their home library. My daughter and husband have been reading Inkheart for the past few weeks together and love the book and now the movie. My husband: "When I read a book, I create images in my mind which are mine. When I see the movie, story is the same but images are the creators. I liked the creators images and story line matched." Isabella:"It was awesome. I want to go again. My favorite character is Meggie because she is alot like me." Myself:"This movie kept my attention with its interesting characters, beautiful and creative locations, and clever storyline. The bad guys were very bad, the good guys were very good with the added element of the character Dustfinger and his struggle with the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other shoulder."

Loved It!!

by sunshine_2001_girl

A slilver-tounge must have read InkHeart out loud cause the movie was magical. Some tweaks were made to the over all story but the scene play is just as good the book. If your worried it's another low buget film like Twilight, don't. If you love fantasy, action, comedies, or happy endings this is the movie for you.

inkheart

by swissmiss7

We really enjoyed the movie. My son did not like the end of the movie, since it did not keep true to the book.

OUTSTANDING!

by LauraDiB

My 11 year old son and I saw this just a few hours ago. This movie was worth the ticket price. For those people that have read the book Inkheart you will NOT be disappointed! The actors/actresses were perfect for their respective roles and brought the book to life. For those that have not yet read the book, you, too, will not be disappointed. The action and adventure, relationships between characters and the special effects are amazing. For those people that were disappointed in Brendan Fraser's last movie, Mummy III, he will have redeemed himself tenfold with this movie.

Wonderful Fantasy!

by madridkid

Did you ever wish you could read a book and have the characters come to life? That is the premis if this movie. I thought it was lots of fun, and full of excitement. You can't really expect to go to a movie like this and expect Academy Award performances, But, all in all, Brendan Frasier is a great action star, so this movie was perfect for him. We really enjoyed it!

Really good movie!

by jill3413

I went into this movie knowing very little about it and skeptical. I was very pleasantly surprised at how engaging it was and how it grabbed me and took me along for the ride. Paul Bettany was outstanding as Dustfinger and the scenes with him blowing fire were phenomenal. I would highly recommend this movie for adults, teens and younger kids. I think my 9-year old would enjoy this immensely and I'll be going back and taking him with me.

Pretty good!

by ilovemovieskp

Better than I expected. Had both comedy and action throughout. Some characters were a little creepy.
Overall I liked it - very mysterious.

This is a good film for the kids out there and not too bad for the parents but not rivitting

by Dark_Chameleon

Brendan Fraser either entertains or not (think Mummy against Mummy 3) and you get my meaning, fortunatly this was an entertaining movie with only some plot steps that seem a little too stretched to keep to the plot.

I enjoyed the film but it wasnt so good as to lose me in the plot as so many do today, for Brendans most recent films this is a better example and although seeming to take some of the plot from Bedtime stories, if comparred to that terrible example of a movie, this is the definate winner.

I'd choose this over adam sandlers film every time..I could sit through this rather then spend the time watching the seconds pass and hoping beyond hope for a laugh.

Go watch this with your kids...no worries about fear or sexual content.

Grade: a definate B

Good Movie

by jendeco

I had not read the book before seeing the movie, but for one who loves to read, I found the book very enjoyable and was thoroughly enjoyed by my two young boys. This is a treat for all the avid book readers out there who would love to see their stories come to life if possible. The best performance was from Paul Bettany who plays Dustfinger. I would definitely recommend this movie to families with its PG rating and holds no crude or inappropriate content as is in so many movies these days.

Great Book, Good Movie

by GuitarKid

I read the Inkheart trilogy and thought they were really great books. The movie did them justice. It followed along fairly well with the book, except for the end. They made it so there won't be an Inkspell movie in the mix. I had heard this movie was getting a lot of bad press that it didn't deserve. I would read the book before I see the movie though, because then you can appreciate the characters more.

Inkheart Was Awesome

by onms

I thought that Inkheart was a fabulous movie it was a little bit scary. There were guns in the movie but nobody used them yet they did use swords and knifes. This movie wasn't very alike with the book.
