Inkheart

Brendan Frasier has solidified himself in my mind as one of the worst actors of our generation. He knows he is such a bad actor that he has now resorted to only acting in family-friendly films. He seemed like a hard-working actor in his early years but lately he just seems like he’s given up. In my opinion, he’s more about getting a quick paycheck then by mastering his craft and becoming a great actor.

The movie itself isn’t too bad. The concept is absolutely brilliant. Brendan Frasier has the ability to bring books to life by reading them out loud. I believe that they could have done a lot more with the idea but they did enough to keep the movie entertaining. I believe the book the movie was based on probably did a better job at this. For some reason the movie tried to focus more than it needed to on character development then on milking the story for everything its worth. I would have also focused a lot more on the special effects.

Overall, the movie is great for kids 6-12. For better movies with similar storylines see “Bridge to bridge to Terabithia”, “The Spiderwick Chronicles” or “Narnia”.
