Well, my friend, who also read the book, saw it and told me that it was awful, and I know why.

They took out every single good scene from the book! Why did they do this?

1) The movie was only an hour and a half long, when they could have easily pulled off two and a half, and fit the good stuff in.

2) They made it PG. PG! I mean, I didn't expect it to be R or anything, but without that 13... there is so much they were forced to leave out. I'm surprised they even showed anyone dieing...

I'll wait for DVD, thank you very much.

Oh, might I add, they left out so much, that it will be impossible for them to do the second book. They took out so many characters and events that, while insignificant in the first book, are extremely important in the second.

I understand changing it for a movie, but they completely butchered it.

Oh, and Clock, the reason it seems so familiar is that it follows a similar plot line as Star Wars. Think about it...

That movie was a travesty. So overplayed, so unorigianl.
Typical, overused heroic demographics for all the characters, tiring plot...
After an hour of the movie, it became a chore to sit through.

I haven't read the book yet either...and I really want to! I did, however, see the movie. I really liked it. I've already heard the stuff like, it doesn't go with the book and stuff...but most books into movies, don't anyway, so...

The movie was excellent though. Seemed like a younger LOTR....well, maybe...not really. Just the scenery reminds me of LOTR on many occasions. I was watching it and thought to myself "Does EVERYBODY film in New Zealand now?" That is, if they filmed scenes of Eragon there...I haven't looked too much into the making of it...yet.


All in all, I LOVED the movie. Avril Lavigne sings a very pretty song for the soundtrack as well.

Haven't seen it yet, but I want to... hence why I refuse to read the book until I see the movie first because I know that if I don't I will hate the movie with a passion... like the Harry Potter movies.

I heard it was really bad? I haven't seen it yet, but I have read the movie. My neighbor descibed it as "Cat vomit." .
I still want to see it though, just because.

I saw it. It doesn't follow the book if you all are wondering. I noticed it and my sis complained about it. But I'ts pretty good. I liked it a lot. Eragon's my favorite character.

The whole movie just reminded me of a fantasy movie about teamwork. XD But I loved it still.
