Review of Inkheart

Inkheart (2008)
Adequately entertaining but occasionally irritating
9 April 2009
This film is about a man who possesses a magical power that can bring the characters of books into real life.

The story is simple and predictable, which also means it is followable and understandable. Paul Bettany's role and his performance is the best out of all the characters, he really brings his character to life. Brendan Fraser, on the other hand, is bland and uninteresting. I am very much annoyed by the author Fenoglio, played by Jim Broadbent. This author character is stupid and ruins everything! And how come Jennifer Connelly receives a higher place on the credit than Jim Broadbent, when Jennifer Connelly is in the film for only two seconds? "Inkheart" is an adequately entertaining fantasy film, but irritating at times.
