  • Oh No!

    happened to have the same name as the book.

    by macpon

    Yeah so this movie was a alright if u didnt read the book. but so many things were left out did anyone notice there was absolutly no mention of the dwarfs. and the urgals were pretty much a bunch of body builders. not the 8 foot monsters they were sopossed to be. They didnt even have horns. the elf didnt have pointed ears. which someone could mistake as a human and the girl that he blessed wasnt mentions which is starting to become a major charicter in the later books so they really cant explain her. the razac never died, so that might be a little agaisnt the book. and the fight with durza was wrong as well. the only thing right was they cut his back and durza died. wtf was he riding on anyway. Did the producers or even anyone working on the movie read the book? im guessing not. or this might be just some random movie and it so happened that they had a dragon and a boy named eragon.

    When the Preview is better than the Movie!

    by monkeybeans

    The movie was disappointing after the preview promised wonderment and finally when it opened? wow! What a let down. The effects were not even that great. My kids liked it and they were happy, so, I am happy. I don't go to the theaters much and wait for things to come on DVD, but after I saw the preview.... couldn't wait to spend lots of money to bring the whole family, but should have waited. I am going to have to be careful of the big previews because they don't always deliver. Should have known! I guess overall it cost me a lot of money for a cute movie. Even Charlotte's Web was better... and I knew the ending.

  • Oh No!

    Terrible Terrible Terrible!!!!

    I am an avid book reader and have read the Eragon and Eldest books dozens of times. This movie should only claim to be BASED on the book, not the book turned movie. The plot is mangled, the character development is non-existant, the storyline is amputated and there are so many discrepancies from this farce compared to the book that I cannot list them all here. They even got Arya's hair color wrong! By the way... It's Black. Urgals have ram's horns, Durza had black skin and red slitted eyes, the Ra'Zac were not conjured by Durza's magic and they don't get killed in the first book.
    In my opinion... Fox should issue a public apology to Christopher Paolini for mangling his stunning work and turn the production and direction of the second movie to the director from Harry Potter 1, or the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. They, at least would get it right.
