i be really excite about the release of this movie a i think the inkheart book be some of the best ya fiction around . the book be dark and suspenseful and fill with twist and surprise . the book be not funny or light hearted while child be kill and men die and woman lament and and evil be very very threatening and scary . the character likewise be complex ( for ya literature ) and provide much in the way complex behaviour . and you can not guess the end unless youre really clever ( which i and sadly and be not ) . i couldn not stop read these book and finish them off in a week . ok and that the book and what about the movie . well the movie be light hearted and the villain goofy and and the suspense completely lack . the people i saw the movie with know what kind of end they be in for from the first 10 minute of the movie . there be none of the fear and dread and darkness of the book . the movie be a lukewarm puffball and and the rating on imdb show that nobody be take with the movie . 6. be really bad for a movie here . and it not surprising . what be there to be enthuse about in the movie except for the cast and the location and both of which be fantastic . the story be a limp noodle that offer no emotional involvement or suspense . it just another kid movie with no heart or faith in the audience . it should be note that the first inkheart book be by far the weak in the trilogy and after i finish it i be on the fence a to whether i be go to finish the series . but i have buy the set and so i start book number 2. and that when thing get really good and inventive . so it really disappoint that inkworld and inkdeath be never go to get a cinematic treatment and but at least we have the book . and really and after watch this movie and maybe it a good thing because if they do the goofy lighthearted predictable thing on book number 2 and 3 and i would have be really disappointed . i would only recommend this movie to people that have read the series and be interested in see what hollywood do with the source material . i would not recommend this movie to anyone look to get a memorable cinematic experience . i pretty much guarantee that most people will have forget this movie by the following morning and it be that inconsequential . so in summary and avoid the movie and if you like the harry potter book and give the inkheart book a whirl .
