Inkheart is another movie of Brendan Fraser that is showing in some theaters this week. This movie is also showing here in the Philippines. It's an adventure fantasy movie adapted from a fantasy novel of a German author named Cornelia Funke. This is actually a trilogy and Inkheart is the first part of the Inkworld trilogy. The second part is the Inkspell and the third and last one is the Inkdawn or Inkdeath which will be out next year.
Brendan Fraser played as the father of a 12 year old girl named Meggie. They share the passion for books and they have an extraordinary power to bring characters from a book to life just by reading aloud, however, when a character is brought to life from a book, a real person disappears into its pages.
So, what do we expect from this movie? Is this film a must see movie? Well, Brendan Fraser was known to be good in comedy film and still he proves everyone that he can also do serious roles like his previous movies "The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)".
According to some reviews, the story is quite interesting. However there are some points in the story that is slow moving because of the too many capture/escape back and forth situations.
So, what makes it different from a book to a film? Will the hiding and escaping situation still be observe in the movie or have they neutralize those kind of situation?
Well, there are some instances in the film that is not part of the first the book and is still yet to happen on the second part of the book in Inkspell but will happen in Inkheart.
In the movie, Meggie's power is discovered by Capricorn ( the principal villain in the story) after the appearance of Toto, the dog summoned by reading The Wizard of Oz, but in the novel she summons Peter Pan's Tinkerbell. In the movie, Farid and Dustfinger set fire to Capricorn's house while in the book, it's Farid and Mo did it. These are just some tweaks of the story that is different from the book.
