4/5 A good light hearted movie. Would have madea better TV series.
  by GretS
I would recommand this movie to anyone that is in need of a good light hearted story. Performances from all actors are fantastic. Helen Mirren and Paul Bettany steal every scene they`re in. The story however feels all over the place. As other reviwers have mention, "Inkheart" had all the makings for great movie, a very talented cast, a good concept, set designs,and effects. The list could relly go on, but the story of "Inkheart" could have used more time to tell it`s story, rather than a mere 100 mins.


I will admit if it was not for this movie I would have never heard of Cornelia Funke or her books.

I just started reading the original book and I can honestly say this would been a great mini-series or an actural tv series. Saying that, if any network decided to do a series for Inkheart, I `d pity the actor filling the shoes of Dustfinger after Mr. Bettany `s performance.



5/5 Wonderful family movie
  by Marie Toth (Texas)
What an incredible movie! Parents, kids, aunts, uncles, grandparents... we all enjoyed it. In fact, it started us on an adventure of reading, especially of Cornelia Funke's books. Hope they make the whole trilogy into movies.

Highly recommend any audio book versions that Brendan Frasier reads. He is truly versatile, with an amazing repertoire of voices and accents.

3/5 Really, what do you expect?
  by Fooberman (The Molten Core)
The child liked it. The mom and the dad (me) enjoyed making fun of it. It was everything that I expected.

It is hard to imagine the plot of the movie having been put together by a functional adult. My only question is whether the story's dreadfulness was due to the book or the adaptation.

This is a great film for the whole family. Encourage your kids to read the book or read the book with your kids and then watch the movie.Inkheart

5/5 It would be a great stocking stuffer!

Need some help planning a rainy/snowy afternoon with the grandkids, then pop in this DVD. This has been enjoyed (without needing censoring) by all ages in this household. The movie has enough fun and action for the children and good acting and storyline for the adults. It would be a great stocking stuffer!
