To be honest, I perfer the movie version of Saphira over the in-book version of her. I don't know what the heck the problem is with feathers but I think they make her look majestic and add to her fantastical appearance. She's still a dragon...a rather sleek and unique looking one at that.

Did anyone else here love the movie version for looks or did you feel betrayed? Share your thoughts!

Hmmm... I really liked her, but only to an extent. And I thought she was amazingly cute as a baby. I would have rather had her be more like she was in the books but I'm not fully against her in the movie.

I liked the way Saphira looked in the movie as well, but I never noticed the 'feathers'. I do think she sounds pretty tight in the book as well.

Back to the movie version, I thought as a baby she was adorable. As for the feathers, I actually watched the movie again and even got my Mom to look at a good shot of Saphira's wings. From what we saw, they look like feathers, are shaped like feathers, but seem to be longer scales. If you look close enough, they seem to dry looking to be feathers. Again, this is just my opinion.

All in all, I do like how she looks in the movie and the book.

Well,to be very honest,it was nice to see the film,and Saphira happens to be my fav character,but after reading the book I had the sensation that too much was left behind,and it felt like a rush-film...
Jeremy Irons and John Malkovich are two of my fav actors since a long time,but their presence was not enough to make of the the film a decent tribute to Chris Paolini excellent story.
I've heard a few saying, "better this than nothing" ,but after the Lord of the Rings trilogy I expected something similar...
