The trailer looked pretty interesting but the story seems to be all given away in the trailer.

Young boy with destiny to free his people will find and use a dragon to do just that. Big battle. Victory. Then an important character dies but everyone lives happily ever after?

Or is there more?

There's more. That's the basics of the first book. Setting up the story and all that. But the SECOND book goes into how Eragon is being trained to be a Rider. He goes to the elven kingdom to do that, finds out there's actually another Rider and dragon who weren't killed like all the others. Another important character dies. The Varden, which are the group of people resisting the evil empire, are thrown into political uproar.


And ohsnap it kicks some ass. The first book is only a taste. Much more happens after the big battle. That battle is like a blip on the radar compared to the ones that follow.

How bad is this film?
I feel like my brain has been shaken up and turned into 3 day old porridge thats gone bad.

Did they intentionally rip off Starwars?

The acting is very very bad.
The CGI is awful.
The voice over from the dragon is beyond terrible.
As far as I can see, the cover artwork is the only good thing about it.

I hope the book wasn't this bad and the books writer shot the director / editor.

It's really really bad. I was so fucking excited because I love the book. But this is... really really really pathetic. Thus why I never bothered digging up this thread.

The author is very young, and at times his writing style is a little meh. But the overall story is wonderful. Too bad the stoned it out of the village with this movie.

On the bright side, digging up this thread reminds us all of how big of a douche Errantrogue was.

LOL the author of the book was 14 when he finished it. And Fellik refused to see the movie on the basis of the trailers. even when it hit rental.

But Yeah, movie sucked, the book was very good.


Beware the ex's.. They ARE out to get you...

Nice guys finish last
It isn't just a saying.. It's a fact of life!

Those things that produced your ex......you know, the bitchmakers! Metagion

If you have sex with a prostitute against her will, is it considered rape or shoplifting?
