Mike's View of Inkheart.

I really liked the book. It was well written and the story was excellent. Now for a book to screen adaptatin it was really bad considering they changed a large amount of the book.

As for the movie itself, I really liked it. It was a lot of fun and of course it had Brendan Fraser. So the quirkiness came along with it. It was fun and to be perfectly honest the Shadow (the ultimate bad guy) kinda scared me a little bit. Both Brendan Fraser and Helen Mirren did an amazing job. I wish they had more of an intimidating actor to play Basta, He kind of looked like the guy who played Snidley in Dudley Doo Right. (funny another brendan fraser movie) And i mean he just wasnt that intimidating. In the book he is made out to be this big bad guy and everyone cowers when they see him *for the most part* Maybe Timothy Olyphant could have done it or hell, Jeremy Irons, Why Not.. except I think he might be to old now. Other than that I really liked the movie. Seperate the book and film and they are really enjoyable. If you sit there and compare all the details from the book to the movie then its kinda dissapointing.

I give it.
4/5

I recomend to go see it. It got some really bad reviews but why is that everyone has to sit there through any film and think it is going to be work of art. Its fun, and the story is good just sit there and enjoy the movie.
