Inkheart (2008)

How sad is this?

Don't Believe the Hype

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This is one of the best movies I've ever seen! Definitely one of my favorite!

I just have to say this is just what I thought of the acting and cinematography.We had to watch this in English class and then do some assignments based on it afterwords. It was really hard to pay attention because the acting was so damn bad!! You can't take them seriously at all. The graphics aren't the best either. Why Helen Mirren aspired to be in this movie, I don't know. She was the best actor in the whole movie (no surprise there.) If they got better actors and and changed the whole look of the background and animations it might of been enjoyable to watch. But for me, a 15 y/o it was too cheesy for me, maybe a younger person might of enjoyed this, but I certainly did not.

I read the summary of this movie and I thought that it's going to be good. I loved the idea of someone bringing books to life. I would be totally in for that. So back to the movie. I liked the acting and the casting. There weren't Oscar worthing acting but they were good for the movie. As for the story, I haven't read the books so I don't know how the story actually goes, but I would have loved to see an instalment or two to this movie. It was a little bit rushed when it is the kind-of-series material. But in general, it is definitely a movie for a Saturday afternoon with the family. It will leave you with a smile on your face.

I like the idea of this movie more than I do the movie itself. While the premise is clever, the story is not. It is riddled with inconsistencies. The plot is, except for a couple of twists, predictable, and often rather ridiculous. I also feel that the book-characters should be as vivid as characters in classic fairy tales, and they're really not. The fire guy just did not seem interesting to me; I can see him as a minor character in a book, but as a central one he'd be a washout. The main villain lacks true villainy; I feel the actor would be better playing a comic villain. But he's not funny either, just kind of forgettable.I also don't understand why the father has an American accent and his daughter has a British one. What's up with that?This is not a terrible movie. The acting is decent, the special effects are pretty good, and there are a couple of ideas I like, one of which is apparently not from the original book Inkheart. But overall I felt that restlessness I get when a movie is neither good enough to watch nor bad enough to stop watching.
