Lazier magic with Ms. Funke.

And ask where is the magic? Cornelia Funke's fantasy mega Eller "Inkheart" is a book about the magic of reading. The Hollywood adaptation falls on the other hand, pretty half-hearted - and confined itself to harmless, übersüßtes entertainment to be.
  With adaptations of fantasy bestsellers is unthinkable in Hollywood much money, but slowly, the resources scarce. The "Harry Potter" books are soon shot, the "Lord of the Rings" saga is also through, the world will gefahndet replenishment. That since sometime on Cornelia Funke's highly successful youth "Inkheart" has come, it seems only logical: The book has as its two million followers worldwide strong supporters, and it just so bursting imagination and inventiveness.

The basic concept is even one of the most beautiful fairy tale world of contemporary literature: A Bücherfan has the gift of characters when read aloud a reality in the transport and, in return for a man disappears into the world of books? a substance to dream, just as you yourself sometimes in a very beautiful novel hineinwünscht happy times or his favorite book hero in real life on a coffee would take.
And it also changed the film, which starts today in the cinema, apart from the usual Verschlankungsmaßnahmen as little as possible to act Funke scaffold: After hero Mortimer (Brendan Fraser) accidentally one day his wife Resa (Sienna Guillory) in a book called "Inkheart "Read and that among other things, the rogue superpower Vile Capricorn (Andy Serkis) to the mankind has been released, he studied with his twelve-year-old daughter Meggie (Eliza Bennett) years after an edition of the novel to the whole thing again to undo.
When he finally will find, however, calls the Capricorn again on the plan that deals with his army meanwhile comfortably in a castle in northern Italy, and has little desire to return to his old world back. Cornelia Funke had enough influence on the screenplay, so that the fans are not too much worried about radical changes to make. Only the end is a little friendly failed.
VIDEOS ON FILM Photo: Warner Video: Warner Inkheart movie trailers and excerpts film extracts: "The words bring it back to me" film excerpt: "The story that you wanted to hear" film excerpt: "I want you to save your neck" Only: In "Inkheart" conjures spark to nearly 600 pages of the magic of reading. That may be the film in its approximately 110 minutes so obviously prefer not to do, because director Iain Softley ( "The forbidden key") obviously wants the audience not constantly remind you that it is much more fun would be to read the book.
And so much trouble to use the advantages of the medium of film highlight? with a loving and detailed range of equipment, especially in the village of villains to Capricorn in all facets of steam was allowed, and effects, at least the ludicrous illogical, but fast-paced almost Finale rich in "Harry Potter" lift spheres.
But apart from everything looks after a rather half-hearted venture out more after an off-key elements of the story as a serious film version. Without great excitement the characters stumble through the sometimes very act of holes, as if they fear that in between times it could be really exciting. Capricorn henchmen can still so angry look and with their machine guns herumfuchteln? they are so stupid that none of the heroes to be frightened.
YOUR OPINION IS GEFRAGTDiskutieren about this item
Would be disastrous, because Brendan Fraser plays Mortimer as a pale bore so that it sometimes looks as if it simply umpusten. Serkis as Capricorn is unevenly charismatic, and so might some viewers almost on the side of evil want to suggest, would be on the side of good are not infallible nor Helen Mirren as a reason Aunt Elinor and Paul Bettany as a fire artist (and sympathy main carrier) dust finger be reported.
At an end "Inkheart" in his film version is not more than harmless, slightly übersüßte entertainment. Perhaps this is already an achievement for a film, which his presentation really is not geheuer.
