Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

SnoopyStyle There are those who can bring characters into life by reading out loud. They are called Silvertongue and Mo (Brendan Fraser) is one of them. He reads a book to his young daughter. Now 12 years later, Meggie (Eliza Bennett) is grown up and Mo is searching for a particular book. Dustfinger (Paul Bettany) catches up to him but they escape to her great-aunt Elinor (Helen Mirren) in Italy. Meanwhile Dustfinger has called in the evil Capricorn (Andy Serkis) to help. On that fateful night years ago, Mo had read Inkheart and Dustfinger, Capricorn, and Basta came out while his wife Resa (Sienna Guillory) got read in.The story is convoluted and needs a good long explanation to set things up properly. I think this idea is quite interesting but it might be even more compelling if the characters are from a classic. Imagine if he read Peter Pan and they're battling Hook. Instead nobody knows these fictional characters. The premise is promising but a few things need to be worked out. Why is he looking for the book since he obviously had the book? Why doesn't he just read out his wife before? The power feels random. If the character doesn't know how it works, it's hard for the audience to work it out. I feel that it makes more sense if we see what he did to get his wife back all those years ago.There is also a clash of tones. Andy Serkis is quite scary and Paul Bettany is trying to be serious. They seem fitting to be in a darker fare, but the tone is more whimsical. Brendan Fraser is part of that whimsy along with Jim Broadbent who plays the really stupid author of Inkheart. His stupidity is not charming nor funny. Overall this is a promising premise. I'm not sure if the problem is trying to adapt it to the big screen or the actual novel itself. If the girl did what she did to save the day, why couldn't the father have done the same thing years ago?

Unnie 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.

WakenPayne This movie is about someone with the ability of creating book characters to life just by reading aloud. The only catch of that is that when that happens someone or something from this world goes back in. Okay, interesting idea. Just needed to be executed a little bit better.The acting is solid for what has been given to the actors, everything is made on a competent level but there is nothing with it to make it shine at all.One thing I didn't like about the movie though was the ending, where Meggie starts to write down on her arm what she wanted to happen, then it does happen - Sorry I just couldn't work with that.So this is good for what it was but just really forgettable.

Luke Reeves OK I thought this film would be a story about someone/people who can bring things out of other dimensions.Therefore all good hearted writers have an unknown gift from GOD to create and bring to life stories, as soon as the ink hits the paper.No one knows that all fictional stories are actually made real by GOD and given their own dimension. Just like Einstein's theory suggests there is the possibility of multiple universes/dimensions etc. Thus a chosen few people (known as "Silver Tongues" in the film) have the power to transport objects/living things from their written dimension to Earth. This is done by just reading out loud the text. However it was a lot more unbelievable than my adaption is. Although the acting is OK not great by any means but acceptable. I found "Andy Serkis" who played the baddie, really good and captivating.Paul Bettany and Brendan Fraser almost live up to their well known great acting abilities. I would give their performances 7/10. Even though they both have the capabilities to produce a level of 11/10.Hellen Mirren, got easy money. Her character was not even needed in the film, for her role and performance was pointless. Her acting in this for me was the worst. It was just too unconvincing and forced, not to mention annoying at times.It did have some mildly interesting effects. I especially enjoyed the shadow at the end. Yet to be fair could have been drawn and done as good using 3d animation workshop software on any fairly powerful home computer.I consider it worth watching, just to see the crazy creatures/objects come to life. When they bring them out of the classic books we all remember. If you like happy endings this film has the perfect example of one. Which I really enjoyed but hey I'm a big softy at heart, he-he.All in all a worthy family film. When you have seen everything else, you might as well give this a go! It's certainly NOT to be avoided. :D
