ya im refusing to see eragon because im a huge fan of the inheritence trilogy (eragon is the first, then eldest by christopher paolini, don't judge them by the movie pick them up today if you havent read them). so im waiting till the dvd release when i MIGHT decide to see it. they screwed everything up and i hate them for it. feel free to stand with me and not see the movie, it wont hurt chris, he wisely decided to give the rights of the book to fox for the movie and other than that stay completely separate from it. and um first post its Brom not Bronz (see they couldnt even make the characters names clear to the audience.) btw for people who have seen the movie: did they even include the 100 or so when they travel to Gil'ead, rescue Arya and go through the Hadarac Desert? by the looks of the trailer it would seem arya just appered in a forest and met eragon plus it looked like she was standing next to eragon and saphira by broms diamond tomb in place of murtagh. Amen. I'm not gonna see it, big waste of money. I wouldn't even sneak into it.

^ Waste of time.
My aunt's going to take us, so I won't complain.
Hey: if you've seen the movie, where does the Avril Lavinge song come in? (I think it's called "Keep Holding On" or something to that effect.)

The book was so unoriginal so the movie was doomed from the beginning

I would say they butchered it, but there's nothing to butcher. The book was a mediocre-at-best combination of Star Wars and LotR with no soul. The one saving grace was Murtagh, and he got relegated to lame little plot device in the movie. He's a fascinating character! Give him a chance! (I wish I could have gotten this shirt to wear to it. That would have made my night. If you can't read it, it says "Here's to Murtagh; Please kill Eragon for us!) As I told my sister as I walked out, disgusted, it was a perfect example of the whole world revolving around the protagonist. No, seriously. The whole world. Did you notice? Also, the whole movie was trying to be epic, like a little dog barking loudly and pretending to be a big dog. It missed epic and landed squarely on melodramatic. Yuck. About the only thing I can't snark at about it is putting the rebellion in the mountain, because I'm guilty of it (and hey, if you have something to hide, deep inside a mountain isn't a bad place), but at least my Ya Nikai is, yanno, standard. Farthen Dur has, like, a city in it and it looks suspiciously open-to-the-sky in that battle.

Well...the scenery was beautiful.
...Yeah. That's about it. The movie focused far too much on Eragon and Arya, and too little on the other characters. Movies like this are supposed to give the impression that the heroes are traveling long and far to reach their final goal. The movie seemed too bland; it made it seem like the whole thing took place over the course of a very short time.
But Durza was still awesome. Even though they cut out the whole scene at the end with his past and such.

Durza's past was the only thing that made him a tolerable villain in the book.
He was one ugly freak, though. I have to admit the makeup people did him up pretty well.

I thought that the book was relly good, and the makeup people did do a good job on him. but they could have worked a little harder on the urgals. i know there was a lot of people they had to do, but still, it would have made the movie a little better.
