Saw Eragon Tonight

[DVC-Don]

My daughter has read the books and did not like the movie at all.

Thanks for the thread, OP, I was wondering how the movie was. Does the movie do justice to Saphira?

As far as the books, I found them a bit cumbersome in places (as most books can be), but very enjoyable all the same.

Saphira was my favorite part of the movie, but I'm a big dragon fan.

I am too, which is mostly why I was drawn to the books. I look forward to seeing the movie, so thanks for your review.

They left out some of the key characters and events that will need to be explained for the second book.

I was wanting to see a Werecat...

No werecat?

I think it's important to remember the books are young adult fiction and really shouldn't be held up to high literary standards. I'm a voracious reader, critic, and a writer, and I found it relatively easy to get past the problems with the books.

We went to see this movie last week while we were in Orlando and actually enjoyed it (had never heard of the book prior to the movie), but we left talking about how it was like watching a medieval version of Star Wars (as someone else briefly mentioned) with very pronounced similiarites all the way through (not just an occasional likeness).

Honestly, it's so much alike that I'm surprised somebody can't be sued for intellectual theft.

That said, my daughter found the book in one of the outlet malls while we were shopping the day after seeing the movie and bought it. She's planning on getting the second one too.

My boyfriend saw it and said it was pretty bad but not as bad as rotten tomatoes was saying.

I have no desire to see it at all!
