Eragon the Movie Big Disappointment?

I have not read that book but I was VERY DISAPPOINTED with the movie. I don't know how much the plot deviated from the real story but if there isn't much of a change, then the plot is plain pathetic. There is no substance to the story at all. The entire movie can be completed within 5 min if you make things more streamlined lol. A lousy movie, I give it 2 thumbs down.

Sure things. I even can tell Eragon was the worst movie in directory. I was wondering, are Mr. Christopher Paolini doesn't take a voice in arranging Eragon movie ? I am absolutely disappointed, so much action in book were cut, but still, it's movie were good in visual.

I agree! I was so disappointed in the movie. My son got me into reading the books after I got him the first of the Inheritence series for Christmas. We were so excited to see the movie and UGG. It was horrible! You are so right about them taking so much of the story out. They butchered it! I hope they do a better job with the second movie. It it's even still in the works after the disaster of the first one.

I have seen the movie but I haven't read the book yet. Yeah, I've heard my friends saying that there are a lot of cuts in the movie. Though I haven't read the book yet, I have appreciated the movie that much. Maybe I still have to read it too to compare the two. :)

I don't know whether we saw the same movie, because I felt Eragon to be an excellent movie adaptation of the book. I thought that Fangmeier cut off the boring parts of the book and retained all the major elements of the book perfectly. In fact, the movie was much better than the book itself.

I was really looking forward to seeing the movie. My kids ended up seeing it before me and my son can practically recite the book and has learned all the words in the Ancient Language. He was livid when he saw what a mess they made with the film. I only saw it a couple of weeks ago after listening to quite a bit of his ranting, so I was ready for it and tried to just go with it and pretend it had nothing to do with the book. I must say I burts out laughing when Saphiea 'grew' in those bursts of explosions. It was just too lame to handle.

I read the book before I watched the Movie and I was like "hey where's that, oh they cut it out, I thought that was a vaild point" etc The book is so much more detailed Much better to have imagined... I still however enjoy the movie but thought it would have been a little more detailed like the book and longer viewing....

Wow! I loved the movie and thought it was quite charming. But then, I had never heard of Eragon and had not read the book. Most of the time, when a book is adapted into a movie, it is never as good. Since I hadn't read the book, I had nothing to compare it by and took it on its own merit. I loved it.

I never read the book but I thought the movie wasn't that great. It seemed like they could have done more with it. It was pretty juvenile.

Yah.. I also a little bit disappointed with this movie. I had imagined the characters and the setting while I read that book. But It was very diferrent with the movie.. Yah they cut many of the major points so it's not that interesting than the book [eventhough I like reading Eldest better than the Eragon..]

yeha it sure was a big disapointment for me speial the part of sapphirehrow she just transformed lol
