Has anyone seen it?

Has anyone seen it that has also read the books? They skipped so much, and it was just annoying and tacky.

Don't waste your money if you haven't seen it.

Both book in the series are really good. I'm waiting on the last book rumored to be called "Empire."

[Keith]

Yeah. The books are okay.

The movie was horrible.

I would have liked to see it, but I've read so many bad reviews, and the people of codex dont seam to like. So the books are worth a read? I never read, only read harry potter (not over and over) and this kiefer sutherland biography.

read second book cause i didnt no there was as a first....it was hard to pick up wat was happening but it was a really good book...seen the movie and though it was crap...too sypathic and probably would have been better suited as m rated

Movie looks like shit. Ever since the first time I saw the trailer, it struck me as a shitty clone of LoTR. Sure, apparently the storyline is very different, but that's the feel I got from it.

I stoped the book because I was going to read a school book X.x but I was like on pg 100+ o.ô
Lucky of mine, there movies come first, so I think i'll always know if a movie is good or bad XDD
But i'll see the movie tought, everytime people say that a movie sux we go with no hope, so the movie always go better, if we go thinking the moviue is the best movie ever we seeit and somethimes don't make we happy because wasn't all that action or storyline that was tough, so it make we wait for something better...Hum...o.O

It's not that bad if you don't compare it to the book. I found it horrible when I did... It skipped sooo many things and it did some things wrong.

But without the book to compare it to it might be better not to compare it together.

[SupermanFTM]

I liked the books. Even though people say the movie wasn't very good, I'll probably still end up seeing it just to see what it's like

[Greeny]

Yer I think people would like it better if they hadnt had read the book.

[Arkidas]

What's with the dragon, it grows up darn too fast and starts breathing fire out of nowhere. I don't like being harsh but could someone answer these questions?

[Gen]

hum, dragons grow up very fast XD
Im actually on page 225, but i''ll read it now and maybe at the end of the night i'll read all the book...

[Justin2]

The book was great. But yes it did skip A LOT.

In the book did Durza ride that dragon? I don't remember. ><

The paperback version of eragon has clips from the movie in the center. Almost all of the images they show in there arent in the freakin movie. Wait till the DVD comes out maybe it will have an extended version that might be better. They could have easily made that movie 3 hours but they decided to go with 90 min WTF!

from what I've heard...
it was good if you haven't read the book
it was bad if you have read the book
which means, I'm definently not watching it ;-)

[Grizzly]

Well don't expect a 600 page book to be fully covered in a movie. LOTR actually skipped a shitload of detail too but it still was an amazing movie. Same with Memoirs of a Geisha.

[Bryan]

And LotR was still an extremely long movie.

I was actually looking forward to seeing this movie, guess I'll read the book instead =)
