Discuss the 1st movie - Eragon, Discuss the 1st movie in the Inheritance trilogy Options

Here you can discuss the 1st movie in the Inheritance trilogy - Eragon.

I really feel sorry for Chris Paolini. The screenwriters, the directors, the producers - the entire crew (though not the actors, nor the FX dept) did a total injustice to his book and series. The movie did not follow the book whatsoever. Very sad, indeed.

I found it totally saddening, that, I couldn't tell the dwarves, from the actual men? Did anyone else have that problem?

And what was with the guy, that is like, Ajihad's helper? Does he not scream "Moses/Noah from Noahs Ark?"

Yah, I also noticed, the Arya not looking like an elf, thing considering, it's so important, in the second book, with Eragon, tranforming....She didnt even have pointed ears? She also smiles too much, the elvian race is a stern race, they rarely smile, or laugh, they mostly just look like, their thinking about somethign all the time, and can't really figure out the answer, like a deep thought/confused pondering?

One of the things that really got me going though, was the urgals didnt have horns?! they didnt remotely look like monster, though I think it's like you said Dij, they were probably afraid of making the characters, look LOTRish, trying to over compincate, for the role they had in jacking LOTR scenery, and sets, haha (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dragon.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/gandalf.gif)

I recently finished reading Eragon, and I enjoyed it very much. I was however, very upset with the movie. It lacked so much from the story, and I think the acting was appalling. The only character I think was good was the Shade/Durza. And isn't Eragon meant to be 15/16, not about 25? Because he looked a lot older in the film.
