Well, the movie is not that bad just little things went off…the enemies that hunt dragon hunters should be more aggresive…. I myself have all the books. I love dragon stories. I believe with today technology they can come up with a powerful movie.
It beats crap of what we watch now. Just start out from scratch and make Earagon over again. With so many remakes and re-remakes of movies and books and comics… of course this series deserves another go. We either get fantastic content, but completely inappropriate for children Game Of Thrones or animated movies dragons is an amazing franchise, but there is only so much animation one can endure or really low level productions — just for kids too many to name and between the marvel franchise, the fast and furious franchise….
Game of Thrones was 5 books. I love the idea of making more of Eragon! The movie was terrible. It is an abomination of the books. How could they do this to the books? The movie deserves a remake. It is a huge disappointment. What totally ruined the trust movie and the possibility of a sequel was how they portrayed his relationship with the Fairy or elf? This relationship remains in question; a mystery over the 4 books. Also poor casting except for the role of Eragon.
Tristan right on so many levels. I saw the movie first and I thought it was so silly. I am glad I did though. They really need to make or remake Eragon have been waiting 15 years.. The world now as we know it is in trouble, so we need to take a stand for what is right and not for just what we are told!
And we all know what that is in our hearts! I did suck. It was a fantastic movie. Great graphics and actors. Love this movie and look forward to a sequel.

Throughout most of the movie, Eragon uses a shortsword instead. The Ra'zac completely destroyed Eragon's house and mortally injured Garrow. Eragon takes Uncle Garrow back to Carvahall and stays at Horst 's house for a while before leaving.
Garrow is buried afterwards. The Ra'zac do not completely destroy the house, and kill Garrow before Eragon returns home to find him, when he is already dead. Eragon leaves immediately, and Garrow is cremated by Brom. Sloan tells the Ra'zac about Eragon willingly, and is allowed to leave their presence. Sloan is lean and scrawny, with a sallow complexion and black eyes. He refuses to take the ' stone ' because he hates the Spine and will have nothing to do with it.
He insists Eragon leave his shop, but cannot convince him to go. Horst and Katrina intervene, they criticize Sloan for his bad temper, and Horst pays Sloan money to give Eragon meat. Sloan is large, without sallow skin or black eyes.

Daret rests on stilts over a gloomy body of water. No such "archers" are present; Brom and Eragon come to only "buy some bread. Eragon first uses magic in Yazuac. He and Brom notice something is wrong especially when they see the pile of dead villagers and encounter two Urgals. Eragon first uses magic in Daret. No "pile of dead villagers" is ever present; he and Brom are attacked by multiple Urgals. Brom scolds Eragon for prematurely using magic that could have killed himself.
Brom tells Eragon that using magic should be a last resort, because it has limitations and he is willing to teach Eragon the elvish language but warns him that he needs to learn his strength limitations. The Ra'zac were not killed until Brisingr , by Roran and Eragon.

Brom is killed by the Ra'zac throwing a dagger at him between the ribs. Brom is put into a sandstone tomb with his belongings where Eragon shapes it with magic and Saphira transmutes it into diamond through semi-passive magic the following morning so that Eragon and she can see through it.
Brom is put in his grave with no belongings on grass at the edge of a cliff with stones piled together. Saphira "freezes" it but Eragon does not use magic to shape it. Eragon dreams of Arya several times, but never communicates with her. In the dream, she is always in a prison cell.
Arya is poisoned with a drug and a potent poison, both of organic origins. Arya is poisoned by a magical venom created by Durza. No drug is employed to suppress her magic. It is stated then that only a very few people know of her identity, and they kept it secret on her request. Murtagh temporarily defeats Durza by shooting him with two arrows. Durza feels immense pain when he is disembodied. Murtagh agrees to accompany Eragon to the Varden , but refuses to enter. He has little knowledge of the Beor Mountains.
Murtagh agrees to accompany Eragon to the Varden and enters optimistically. He has a thorough knowledge of the Beor Mountains. I watched the movie with commentary and most of the time the director would say his reasoning for choosing something was "it looked cool" so it's nice to know we all didn't miss the deeper meaning. Anyway the book was longwinded and a little bad but I have a soft spot for the book series, don't know why.
OP you really should have asked if anyone actually liked the movie since this topic turns up on every Eragon board every couple weeks or so and it's always the same response. The other Samantha is the first person I've ever seen defending it. Samantha wrote: " The movie is better than the book because it had sigourney weaver? Not sure if she was in it I would have like the movie any more than I did. I would have love seeing her acting as I did with some of the cast that was in it, but the story truely SUCK.
I would love to see someone take the series and give it the detail that Jackson did for Lord Of The Rings. I think it could be Epic. I do agree with you that the Eragon movie could be some decent fantasy fodder for a proper movie made with Jackson's efforts. Who knows, they rebooted Spiderman and that was a very successful series, perhaps with all these extra books getting movie deals someone might reattempt the Eragons with a competent director.
That being said though I'm sure the Spiderman reboot was a unique circumstance as it was Disney backing it with all their money and I suspect they needed a new Spiderman for the next big comic book hero film series they get to in a few years. Sep 25, PM. I just know that Eragon the movie sucks and lots of people didn't read the book because of it! And Arya is not blond!! Or flirty!! It pissed me off so much the arya character from the movie.
Sep 27, AM. I tend to view the movies made from books as separate entities from those books. Consider them a truncated, visual teaser to a book, if you will, but I have yet to see any books truly successfully transferred to screen.
I liked the movie just fine for what it was. The book was better, of course, and there are always changes from page to film. The overall question for me is, did seeing the film cause people to pick up a book and read? If the answer is yes, than I am happy.

Consider them a truncated, visual teaser to a book, if you will, but I have yet to see any books truly successfully I agree whole-heartedly. I despise seeing people whine about how a movie ruins a book.
The film doesn't change anything about the pages of the book. Another complaint I hate to see is people saying they can't picture the characters properly anymore. That is utter rubbish as far as I'm concerned and if it happened to someone it's their own fault. My criticism for books-turned-movies is always how well the story stands on its own for someone who has not read the books and sadly, many of the Harry Potter movies are guilty of presuming knowledge on the viewer's part.
Eragon as a movie is poorly made in my opinion but at least it tells its own shakey version of the story comprehensibly. Dec 18, AM. I haven't watched the movie but I've read the book. The book was kind of boring and I found it hard to get into sorry fans! The graphics were kind of primitive and the actors didn't fit the book descriptions. Again, no offense to Paolini fans. Dec 18, PM. Anyone who's both read the book and has a brain larger than a walnut would want a remake of that god-awful movie.
Dec 22, PM. I watched the movie again yesterday after reading the book for the first time and i remember the movie being as i watched it a while ago being quite good, although after i read, and enjoyed, the book i found the movie a disappointment after :. Paolini was only a teen himself when he began spinning his story.
He found unique elements for us to overlook the rest. My favorite is that Dragons are intelligent creatures who are the equal of humans. She never did anything out of deference to a human. She argued, and sometimes gave in not because she was not human, but out of love for her rider.
The movie was OK. Two problems: the dialogue got pretentious in parts "Look to the sky, to win or to die" UGH , and then it messed up key plot elements so a sequel would have been to difficult to film--Murtagh at the end, for example. Dec 25, PM. I was majorly disappointed by the movie.
The characters were all wrong, their motivations changed and the plot was just simply different to the book. I had to try really, really hard to enjoy it and even then I didn't like it very much.
That's the most disgusting thing I've read all day And that's the most bizarre thing I've read all day. I read her comment that you replied to and can't for the life of me work out what you are on about. Dec 26, AM. I so agree! Not only was the acting bad, but they ripped up the plot and left out so many details that make the books so good.
