Eragon (Movie)
I finally got around to seeing this show. I was excited to see it after reading the book. I thought the book was a decent book, a bit transparent at times but decent. I didn't have high expectations when I read the book since it was written by a teenager.
Now for the movie. The movie was absolutely horrible. Please save yourself the money and use it to buy the book. To start the movie does not follow the book at all. Almost all of the plot has been changed from the book. In addition, the movie is incredibly rushed. The plot is moving from scene to scene with no explanation of why things are happening. To make things worse the rewritten script is horrible and so is most of the acting the follows. Finally the costumes were also horrible. It is a shame because this movie could have been very good if the director would have followed the book. To bad they didn't have Peter Jackson make this movie. Honestly I haven't been this disappointed in a movie since I saw Dungeons and Dragons.
In summary, read the books and avoid the movie.
