neutral · AI labelView post →Inkheart by Cornelia Funke is one of my most beloved series read that series several times and when they announced a movie I was so hyped! and the movie was just ok :C I haven't seen any movies based on books since then unless it receives high praises which I haven't seen much
neutral · AI labelView post →Inkheart: This is fine. It tries to be a faerie tale, but it's more of a crime boss/prison break movie. The magical conceit is cool AF tho, especially to a writer like me. The book in the movie sounds HELLA derivative; clever if metatextual. Weak point: Andy Serkis CAN'T act. #FilmSky Verdict: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
neutral · AI labelView post →You ask as if that was a good thing. Like an honor for a book. But I way too often find myself defending books with "It's nothing like the movie. Don't juge it by the awful movie." Especially fantasy adaptions are regularly awful and damaging for the books. Examples: The Dark Tower, Eragon, Percy Jackson, The Giver, Inkheart. Netflix's Persuasion, The Beach to name a couple of non fantasy as well. So I'd rather they leave the books alone and make original stories into movies.
neutral · AI labelView post →I loved the Inkheart trilogy by Cornelia Funke as a kid but I feel like it’s kind of obscure. There was a film adaptation of the first book starring Brendan Fraser but I don’t think many people saw it.
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s also the day Inkheart came out 🫢 this movie(book) fr ties everything in from Rapunzel to Wizard of Oz to Arabian Nights to Cinderella to finding an author’s OG manuscript. If a character is read off the page wrong they come out of the book with ink on their face and other imperfections
neutral · AI labelView post →I loved this book but I don’t think I’ve seen this since it came out so can’t remember it but the cast is outstanding #filmsky 📽️ Trying to watch more fun fantasy movies but it’s hard to find, would appreciate any recs of this type. Inkheart

neutral · AI labelView post →I will never shut up abt Inkheart trilogy by Cornelia Funk. It's been 15 years since I read it, but I read it twice, movie based on the first book has Brendan Fraser & Paul Bettany in it, & the world in these books is so beautifully written it's been living in my head rent-free this entire time
neutral · AI labelView post →Artemis Fowl, Ella Enchanted, Inkheart. I loved these books as a kid, but none of the movies were good adaptations.

neutral · AI labelView post →Thanks to listener requests, @brennacgray.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social dig into Cornelia Funke's INKHEART and its 2008 film adaptation starring Brendan Fraser. It's...not what we expected. In addition to less driving, Joe wanted more fantasy, while Brenna wanted more famous characters.
neutral · AI labelView post →"Bad aptations of books Lilly read in middle school" movie night is done! Stormbreaker wasn't great, but better than I expected. Inkheart was *almost* there, but I think tried to do too much. And Artemis Fowl sucked in more ways than I thought possible.
negative · AI labelView post →I like the premise, although it is not the best experience for extended sessions I think, the ones that come on top of my mind are: * Hotel Dusk and its sequel, I'm actually gonna replay Last Window again because I forgot almost everything about the plot lol. * Ninja Gaiden, I enjoyed it a lot, maybe I have finished it three times or so, I can see die hard fans of Ninja Gaiden not being fans of this title for obvious reasons. * Inkheart, I played it many moons ago, and even when it was a…

neutral · AI labelView post →Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is actually such a good movie — I can’t believe I didn’t watch it sooner. It’s a bit dated and kind of reminds me of Inkheart. Definitely a must-watch.
neutral · AI labelView post →I volunteer if you ever wanna talk about the InkHeart movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Also Inkheart, by Cornelia Funke. Has a film adaptation no less
neutral · AI labelView post →The most relatable movie villain isn't who you think. Unless you think it's that guy from Inkheart(?) who comes to the real/our world and is like, "Duct tape! I LOVE duct tape!" Because it's totally him.

neutral · AI labelView post →Someone tell somebody that we need shows based on these book series: -Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children -Inkheart -The Saga of Darren Shan There has been a movie of each of them already but they were all awful. So much potential 🙌
neutral · AI labelView post →Probably Inkheart (can't quite make it work) or the Lost City of D which is just such a fun movie 😂
neutral · AI labelView post →You won't regret it. I discovered Cornelia through the Brendan Fraser movie Inkheart and read the Inkheart series as an adult. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Inkheart was a forgettable film even for fans of Brendan Fraser, but for two things: 1) Andy Serkis as a villain without a stupid voice 2) it’s my first official screen credit 😊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UvK...
negative · AI labelView post →I knew there was a horrific-looking movie for Inkheart and I was a fan of the original book, but I didn't know there was a game adaptation of the film adaptation. Wild!
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, definitely not Inkheart. That book/movie was about being stuck in/out of books, not drawings.
neutral · AI labelView post →Got reminded yesterday that Inkheart is a film that exists, and while I know it wasn't the best thing ever made I do remember it giving me warm & fuzzy feelings It has a stellar cast, as well, hot damn
neutral · AI labelView post →It's all The Mummy this and The Mummy that (understandably). But Inkheart is such a slept on Brendan Fraser film
positive · AI labelView post →My first YA review podcast episode featuring @horrorqueers.bsky.social only @joelipsett.bsky.social Chose “InkHeart” as my first Loved this book and hated the movie Let’s see what they think shall we?
negative · AI labelView post →Yeah like remember Inkheart? Very different from the book I’d read before seeing the movie and yet I loved it!
positive · AI labelView post →The (movie) Inkheart 1080p (iTunes)(US) $4.99 (Family) (iMDB) 5.8 Cast: Brendan Fraser, Paul Bettany, Helen Mirren, Jim Broadbent, Andy Serkis, Eliza Bennett
neutral · AI labelView post →Haven’t read the books, but the Inkheart movie is one of my favorite movies. I love stories about meta-stories, where characters in the story interact with stories within their story. Yes, I love Last Action Hero, why do you ask?
positive · AI labelView post →Ooo the Mothman one sounds like a great pick!! Also, love the book collection; I see Inkheart!! That was such a great read and film!! 📚🤩
neutral · AI labelView post →Have you seen him in Inkheart? Its surprisingly lesser known movie but one of my favorites, I was a big fan of Funke's original trilogy, and I wanted to make a movie on it (when I was a kid I wanted to be a film writer/director). Huh, I thought it was a common interpretation that Stan was about

neutral · AI labelView post →My favorite book series from when I was a kid is Inkheart. This man done bought me the movie and said he’s looking for the book set for Valentines Day 🥺 my inner child is screaming
neutral · AI labelView post →5 - Inkheart Ah yes, my first contact with an adaptation of a book that I loved and said 'man this movie sucks'. Please read the trilogy instead also, I may be one of the few people in the planet that liked the endgame pair lol
negative · AI labelView post →An early work out, then rested and made a chicken dinner, and now a movie, called Inkheart, I think.
neutral · AI labelView post →Inkheart was a pretty fun book, and it made a pretty fun movie. One thing I’ll forever be grateful for is the “Shirtless Dustfinger Juggles Fire” scene. My teenage self just about needed to fetch the smelling salts, goodness me. (Paul Bettany is so HANDSOME in this one omg.)
positive · AI labelView post →Inkheart was childhood and I love the film too. Yes, The colour of revenge came out last year and takes place 5 years later.
positive · AI labelView post →I almost put Inkheart up today ... This was childhood I also adore the film 🥹

neutral · AI labelView post →Inkheart was a very mid movie in general but I often think about Jim Broadbent's character who wrote the in-universe book and is a sad lonely old man and at the end of the movie gets sent to live forever in the book he wrote and man that is the realest shit ever
neutral · AI labelView post →Randomly remembered catching a hallmark movie about a girl being isekai'd into a Jane Austen novel and she is played by the girl from the movie version of Inkheart which is about book characters being reverse-isekai'd into the real world and man what a weird instance of typecasting
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching a film called Inkheart. It's just the right amount of silly, serious and fantasy that I love. 4/5 stars
positive · AI labelView post →There's a book trilogy called the Inkheart collection (first one was made into a movie) and I can't stop giggling because the third one is called Inkdeath and it reminds me to much of twink death
neutral · AI labelView post →I hear they are! I've read the books multiple times, but I never got around to watching the complete movie series. Easily one of my favorite book series next to Inkheart.
neutral · AI labelView post →365 Days of Films Day 360 Inkheart 2008 Just like every good 80's child I am a Brendan Fraser fan and while this movie may not have extremely high ratings it is a heck of a lot of fun and worth and watch and a rewatch every few years. #filmsky #movies #moviesky
positive · AI labelView post →It should not be difficult for me to decide I don't like a book that much and put it down... But it is so hard! I started the Inkheart series (mostly because Brendan Fraser stars in the movie) and it is good, but it just isn't grabbing me. I think this series will be a DNF. #booksky
