So Epic-1 is back again with a DVD review Inkheart. So imagine
if things you read out loud would come to life. Well for Mo Folchart
aka Silver Tongue (Brendan Fraser) it does, and he brings to life
characters from the book Inkheart. But the catch is someone must
go in and it happens to be his wife Resa (Sienna Guillory). Now
years later Mo and his daughter Meggie (Eliza Bennett) are confronted
by the characters, specifically Dustfinger (Paul Bettany), who
just wants to go back into the book and be with his family, and
Capricorn (Andy Serkis) the villain who wants Silver Tongue to
read for him and bring him treasure and other things to reality.
Now throughout the movie we see things from the Wizard of Oz which
makes me believe the real author loved the book as we see flying
monkeys, Mo reads the hurricane that swept away Dorothy, and we
find out later that Meggie has the same powers as her dad when
she reads the book and brings out Toto. The ending was great and
of course Mo and his family are together again and Capricorn and
the other villains all lose and Dustfinger who helps Mo goes back.
The Good
The movie in all was good and I’m upset I didn’t go see it when it came out, but glad I watched it on DVD. Brendan Fraser puts in probably his best acting ever and the supporting cast was great. I loved the fact that the Wizard of Oz stuff was in it (I’m a big OZ fan from the original to Wicked and Son of a Witch to now Inkheart). I watched this movie with friends and within the first 10 minutes my one friend said he wants to read the book and I agree. This movie is definitely family fun and it will want you to read a book which nowadays is very rare. The movie reminds you that reading can take you anywhere from places far away to Kansas, even to Shangri-La.
The Bad
The only complaint I have is that the movie was a little drawn out in some parts, but all worth it trust me.
The Ugly
N/A
So in conclusion, I loved Inkheart and I am definitely going to get the book. Inkheart gets 4.5 out of 5 stars and it has been Epic-1 tested and TOV approved!!!!!
