Kill the creators!
Did anyone else take notice that the movie took a 500 page book and turned it into a pansy 1hour 30 minute movie? all the while SKIPPING important details, SCREWING AROUND with the story line and just plain skipping nearly 10 chapters of the book! I was personally dissapointed on how the movie was made...sure the special effects were great...but they diddnt have to go off and mess with the story.... Whats you opinion?

Re: Kill the creators!
I believe we have a topic discussing people's opinions of the movie.
And yes, most people agree that the movie was crap.

Re: Kill the creators!
I'm still going to go see the remaining 2 movies...maybe they'll repent for their sin, though I highly doubt it... Also, another thing...The Ra'zac looked like those dead guys in The Mummy

Re: Kill the creators!
I was very disappointed! They skipped so much!!! Some of teh characters sucked at their parts. They left out one of my favorite characters, Solembum! Total let down. They took my absolute favorite book and turned it into a laughing stock, screwed up movie! C.P. should be angry.

Re: Kill the creators!
FINALLY i can talk to people who actually are intelligent! When i was watching it with my parents they thought it was a brilliant film while i sat there in disgust with a pillow over my head. They couldnt understand why i was so pissed off for weeks. I Agree. Kill the Creators! (If Paolini created it i think we should spare him ) P.S. I also thought that the house was torn apart not just the front door smashed open and a beam broken?!?!?!?!!

Re: Kill the creators!
I know the movie was messed up but i think you guess are over reacting a little... They can't make everything perfect in his movie... i mean come out... the house being torn apart could have even only ment the inside, and that one beam missing was like the whole front wall... I know it was totally different from the book, but i give everyone who was part of the movie credit for making a good movie that i dont try to compare to the book...

Re: Kill the creators!
I cannot completely write of the movie as it was in fact the reason I became interested in eragon to begin with. however yes there wasa major plot bugger up. and the mess up they made at points. e.g the arrow in durzas head!?

Re: Kill the creators!
no.no . watch the movie again. once the arrow hits his head . In the next shot the arrow head is seen poking out. i.e as though he has been shot from behind!

Re: Kill the creators!

Re: Kill the creators!
No it wasnt one day, it was just set in the day then night, day then night, i'd say it was like a few weeks to a month in the movie. I absolutly hated the movie, but cmon, like someone said earlier. LETS GET OVER IT. we all understand that we hated the movie, we get the point that it was poorly constructed. Unless the other one is actualy going to be made, then stop complaining. Find someone who liked the movie, your all saying the exact same thing, all the threads are the same.
(Takes a deep breath)
Now, my toughts. it was horrible. the creators ,must die. But the only reason they made it was for the $$$. lets face it, they made MILLIONS. Even if ti sucks, peple will still see it, just so they can see it. So, logicly the only way to stop the 2nd movie, WE MUST KILL THE CAST, THE DIRECTOR, THE PRODUCERS, AND ANYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO MAKEING IT!!! Exept C.P. he has immunity.

Re: Kill the creators!
there a bunch of dragon egg suckers! if they wouldve done that to db id kick their sorry hides to the curb! though it was a good movie. the game is a little better! LITTLE! it has some stuff from the book and movie. i think it made stuff up too. you know they missed the part where eragon gets captured. waaaa! plus they totally messed saphira up! though that is a good look it still stinks! also who plays saphira's voice?its wonderfull. you know someone told me, already took care of it, but they comapared saphira to a car with a buzuka and a brain. what the crap man!?

Re: Kill the creators!
Okay honestly I diddn't think it was a bad movie I mean most everyone here did but thats because they read the book I just treated it like another movie not thinking of the book because that ruins the movie already from the start I knew it would not turn out the same no movie ever does and I'm sorry everyone didn't like it but if you don't treat it like it's suppose to be like the book it may not be the best movie but there are much worse movies out there and more pourly made.

Re: Kill the creators!
At the very end of the movie Arya says to Eragon, in answer to the question "When will I see you again?"
"Time moves quickly, only yesterday you were a farmboy. Today you are a hero. Tomorrow may see us together again
Hence my understanding that it was only during one day's time.

Re: Kill the creators!
I just read the first post...
Yea...they have lots of money so its like...UM..it would a be a bit bad but couldn't you have said "blank time later.." to show time go by (OK..have to admit..the graphics on Saphira growing WAS cool).
But yes they did cut it down ALOT...almost ALL movies are more like 2 hours long...even my friends and mom noticed it was a bit short than most movies...they what P-ed me off though was the Varden in the Beor Mts. They didn't have ANY crystals or Saphira break through one and breath fire at the last moment (in the movie she just does it like that). and Eragon and the Shade were fighting ON THE GROUND not air...sure it made for awesome air fights but COME ON...can't we have SOME of the freaking book in it?! Also when his grandpa died, they couldnt even let me be alive for a moment with Eragon cause according to the book he lived on for almost a week later...SHORTENING the book would have had him breathing his last words in the wreck. even then Saphira was still growing too!...theres alot more like Sulubum(sp) and the crazy lady (can't remember her name XD).
The BOOK should ALWAYS be the script! LOOK IT OVER, Shorten it as you go by...and BAM you got a good lengthed movie...if it was a bit too much...take out some stuff...but not DETAILS that literally MAKE UP the freaking set and movie!
~Draken MurZari
EDIT: yea, if they would have had to make a two disk I would have been FINE...it would have made a great movie..freaking LOTR is a multi disk! (depending on which version you get)

Re: Kill the creators!
the second movie might come out spring 2009, and hopefully it follows the book more. I wont say it was bad because if you didnt judge it book vs. movie then it wouldnt be so bad. but it is kind of crappy that it left out so much important stuff. well, if they get a new,better director then he might be able to fix all of Eragon's mistake in Eldest without getting pretty sidetracked. I got some hope dont be so cranky ppl.(though all the stuff youve said is true) wow I cant beleive I just said that im usually the first to rebell

Re: Kill the creators!
All I can say is "Amen!" to the prospect of killing the creators. I would list all of the things wrong with the movie, but I'd need about two days to do it, and I don't feel like taking that kind of time. The only good thing about it is how dramatic Brom's death and last flight (even though in the book he didn't have a last flight) was. But even his death was messed up. He was killed by the Ra'zac, not Durza. And I hated how they did the Ra'zac. In the movie, they looked like mummies. They're supposed to look like humans with beaks and cloaks. Wiry thin, too. But here I go again. I'm gonna stop now before I go on a rampage.
_________________ http://www.youtube.com/user/sjlsscsdoo --------------- i've decided to keep this section open for my last everyone dies schemes:
eragon dies lonely, saphira cries acidic tears on thorn who dies, and as he is dying accidentally claws murtagh to death, whose sword shoots out and stabs arya, who dies and curses "brisingr" as she's dying, accidentally setting islanzadi on fire, who curses galby, who dies, and shruikan dies of a heart attack from the shock of all, and ants rule the world! then termites eat the ants and termites rule the world!
