We went to see Eragon last night.... My husband, step-daughter and I had read the book and really enjoyed it but were wondering how they were going to manage to fit all of the story into just one 1-1/2 hour movie. Well, they didn't!! They completely changed the story, the characters, the plot. I don't know how they can even say that it was based on the book! Well, the dragon was still blue and named Saphira... My other step-daughter hadn't read the book and still thought the movie sucked. The dialogue was excessive and bad , there were numerous inconsistencies in the cinematography, bad acting (Djimon Hounsou, Jeremy Irons, and John Malcovich - Oh why did you accept parts in this horrible movie?). We thought that maybe they were trying to appeal to a much younger audience (7-11) but even still it could have been much more thought out. Maybe focused more on developing the characters that were so rich in the book. I should have read the NY Times review like I normally do before seeing a movie. Not that they have the last word on anything, but it would have at least given me a sense of what to expect.

Anyway, complete disappointment and waste of $48 dollars!! Don't bother!
