Learn something from that site...Eragon and Eldest were plagarist trash
Even the guy on anti-Shurtugal says he thinks it looks alright now after seeing the trailer in the cinema.
The trailer is badly edited crap - it doesn't do anything to capture your wonder. And the film looks like cliched leftovers from LOTR and Narnia. John Malkovich? Looks like a mailed-in, career-worst performance.
The director they hired - Stefan Fangmeier - is making his debut. He's only been an FX supervisor at ILM before this. If they are trying to repeat what Narnia did, hiring Andrew Adamson, they should remember AA at least had feature-length experience with the Shrek films. I bet the film will be poorly regarded, no matter the box office take. 👇
Movies made from books are sometimes interesting and often disappointing, hope Eragon is good. Although in some ways good, Spiderman the movie would have been way better if it stuck to the comic books, Scaled armour on Goblin, Gwen Stacy in story, Web shooters. Pete met Maryjane as a Teenager and wasn't her neighbor. Xmen also were disapointing, why did Rogue seem like Kitty Pryde, why was Iceman a kid, etc. If you read the comics then the movie made no sense.
Hmmm... With Eragon it looks to me like they have gone for something that LOTR did. They have maxed on the action scenes. In LOTR book the battle scenes are really short, compared with the rest of the narrative but in the movie they take up a sizeable chunk of it. Similar it looks like has happened with Eragon. I'm not saying this is a bad thing at all. Most people would say LOTR movies were really good. Some die hard fans think not. I think similar will be the case with Eragon. There is obviously going to be changes for the movie. Taking the example of the Dragon - it looks far more scary and creepy the imagined dragon from the book. This gives us more of a visual treat and is more in line with the tastes of modern audiences. I can understand why there is differences in the movie and wouldn't persoanlly critcise them
Overall the movie is okay but you're all best off saving your money. I saw it this morning for sheer curiosity's sake. Honestly, it's a whole heap better than that clunk of fanfic some kid cranked out and called a book. The dragon is cool, uh but that's the gist of all that's good in the movie. The plotline was okay if you could follow it but it just seemed like a slapped together thing with mediocre acting and cringe worthy dialogue.
Hey i just got back from the movie las night. It was pretty good, but they did leave alot of thnigs out. THings i noticed that were wrong: arya barely had pointed ears; arya was never conscious throughtout the whole thing, but in the movie she was; eragon found out brom was a rider way before he died; they showed eragon shooting durza instead of murtagh; brom isn't supposed to kill the razac; it was weird how saphira was a baby and she flew up in the clouds and when she was back she was huge; also, saphira actually said" i am saphira and you are my rider, instead of eragon giving her suggestions for names. I think if you haven't read the books youl think its a good movie.
Eragon
I'm going to see Eragon tomorrow despite horrible reviews and everyone saying it's bad. What do you think of the movie? What were the Pros and Cons of it? IDK, I think the trailer and everything is cool but it looks like a bit of a failure trying to copy LOTR lol. Anyways, my friend is making me go and see it so plz post your thoughts on the movie.
The movie sucked My brother, whose a big fan of the books, said it sucked as well. Now I'll admit I did not read the book, but hopefully its better than the movie.The dialouge seemed to have been chosen from a book of pickup lines bad ones. The acting was bland, it jumped right into scenes without much buildup, it seem it was trying to tell the story in the quickest way possible, regardless of being able to comprehend it.

But I think is best if you read Eragon the book. The film rank next to SW Episode II.
❌ episode2 is in a whole other league compared to this piece of crap i will be honest i have never read the book and dont intend to after watching this disater of a film. The acting was horrible even from Jeremy Irons, the action scences were bland and wernt exciting there was no feel of danger and unity throughout the whole film.
the movie was just a horrible way to rake in sales. the only thing it had going was anticipation they threw together a cheap ball of crap slapped the eragon title on it kept the same names and completely changed te story to what they thought would sale. ragon fans pissed. movie goers intrigued eragon two or the eldest or whatever they call it will have a similar but possibly smaller audience due to the fact of those who enjyed the movie probably who didnt read the book want to see a sequel as for the fans well hat crowd will be
comprimised you will have those who refuse to see the second one because the first made them die a little inside, then you have those who want to see what the new strange plot will wield in the second one.
ah thats fox for ya
