Today I went to see Eragon with my friends at a birthday party.
This was the worst movie adaptation to any book. The movie cut off so many things from the book, such as naming Saphira, and the traders trying to smash the egg/stone. After reading the book this show was very disappointing. Maybe if you didn’t read the book then it might have been good movie.
One of the worst things about the movie was the characters. Arya was supposed to have green eyes, black hair, and pointy ears (since she was an elf), but she looked perfectly human!
Durza was even worse, he looked like a old man who needed chapstick badly (and Vaseline while you you’re at it!) Saphira was a little disappointing but not as bad, she sort of looked like a bird, her voice was really strange and she aged too quickly. In the book they said that she grew a few feet every day but not from a baby to a full dragon in a mere few seconds in the clouds!!
The graphics and visual effects were actually pretty impressive, the magic, shade guy, and monsters. If you aren’t into “Happy Feet”, 007, or Escape Clause, you could maybe watch it, but if you do, try to keep your own impressions of the characters, and not the movie’s interpretation!
im going to see it on local TV, u know, the old-fashioned way. All the movies here on HK come out slower than the US.
I do agree the movie was very different from the book. But to me the action was extremely intense. The end part of Farthen Dur was really exciting. But the brom death was really messed up. Durza didnt kill him!!!!! And arya is supposed to be extremely skilled in magic! Why couldn’t SHE save brom????
