Ok, I
finally saw the movie... and find myself wishing, to some extent, that I hadn't.
It was painful. That's about all I can say. Completely the wrong actor for Eragon, Nasuada was faintly hideous, non-existent character development (aside from a couple suddenly-revealed facts -
"You're a dragon rider?!" "You're Morzan's son?!" 
), Galbatorix's odd speech impairment, the mummified beetle stand-ins for the Ra'zac, Saphira's .3 second growth-spurt, and the fact that the whole movie was about half the length that it should have been. I mean, it took Brom and Eragon, what, a week to get to the Varden? 20 minutes from when Eragon meets Murtagh? (Not to mention the fact that Murtagh's scar was in the wrong place
Was Morzan in an artistic mood, and just started carving patterns in his son's stomach? *shudder*)
The only real bright spot for me was Brom (preferably when he was yelling at Eragon
). I was surprised, actually, at how much I liked him as a Dragon Rider-turned-Ranger.
Arya was a lot better than I expected, too, but she still could've been a lot better.
Anyway, there's my little rant. xD I
do realise that it's just a movie, but if they plan on making the second one,
please hire a new director.
And design team.
And writer.
A new producer probably wouldn't hurt either.
I agree... wholeheartedly. Couldn't have said it better myself
...maybe Eldest wont be too bad...
you guys seem to have been judging that Eldest is gonna be a bad movie already. You never know..
Well, if the first movie was done badly with important parts missing, there IS very little hope for Eldest and I am 99.9% sure that it is going to have little success.
