Not sure how much hate it actually gets. It's perfectly...fine as these HP wannabes go.

I respect your opinion. I later read the Inkheart trilogy which is actually good although Inkdeath was the weakest in terms of it's execution. The movie adaption had some good casting choices like Brendan Fraser, Paul Bettany, and Helen Mirren who embodied the characters from the book very well, some of the cinematography was stunning to look at in spite of the effects not being quite as good, and the music score is enchanting. If only Andy Serkis wasn't a huge disappointment as Capricorn especially when compared to the book and yes it did have some cliches and the characters overall felt like archetypes we've seen in other movies. So, yeah, it's fine for what it was.
