Eragon: The Movie

Postby jon_jinn » Sun Jul 23, 2006 6:25 pm

yep. while i was in ecuador, i saw a giant cardboard picture for Eragon the movie. it looked pretty cool. however, i've never read the book so i don't know the first thing about the story. i might've thought about reading the book but i'm not a big harry potter fan and i'm not really into reading long books, unless they're really, REALLY interesting. and harry potter doesn't interest me at all.

I haven't read the book, but it looks kinda' interesting and it was recommended to me. So, I will probably watch the movie at least. :)

So how old is the guy who created Eragon now anyway?I mean he can't be that old as he wrote the original story some time when he was in his teens.So I suppose he must not be worried about making money any more.

The book isn't so great, either is Eldest the follow up.
Paolini's work is slow paced and detailed (but not in a good way), it's also some of the most unoriginal dreck you'll read since it's basically a LotR/Star Wars/Dragons of Pern ripoff. He started writing it when he was 15 and finished it at 19.
His book has nothing to do with Harry Potter either.
I may see the movie but only rented.

Well it may be good if you've never read Tolkien's works or any sword and sorcery style fantasy to begin with and you don't mind a completely unoriginal book, and don't mind overly detailed passages of text that bog down the reader.

I didn't hate this book... It took me a while to finish..but I liked the dragons best!

I didn't read eldest...

However, it seemed like the only way he would move the plot along is if the main character got conked on the head and passed out...that got old REAL fast...

contrary to what i think about the books, i'm really looking foreward to the Eragon movie. I hope they don't butcher it like they did with the black cauldron and others. (i really liked the black cauldron books and the movie stunk, really bad). The books are really bad, in my opinion, (and you can find that opinion in another forum under the books in eragon) but sometimes movies are better because they never stay related to the books! but one thing that I think won't be so hot about the movie is Eragon flying on Saphira's back. It probably will be really cheesy. :rant:

I've read the book Eragon. I thought it was very well done, and a nice breath of fresh air compared to most of the books I've seen today.

Yeah, I've read a good amount of Tolkien's work and I loved Eragon. How was it a ripoff? You could tell from a mile away it was inspired by it, but it by no means ripped it off unless Eldest contains him finding a ring and he has to drop it in some volcano (I haven't read Eldest).

I can't wait to see the movie, but I know it will fail in comparison to the book.

I thought it was very well done for the amount of time that it was.. I would have loved to have not seen the uncle die, but what can ya do? I would have loved to have seen more of baby Saphira but again it wasn't a long movie...and anything else added would probably have cost more and then our movie really would have stunk.

Overal I give it a mid B It wasn't as good as some I have seen but from all the reviews I was afraid it would be terrible.. IT WASN'T It was ttotally worth 7 bucks!

So yeah.. I will probably buy this on DVD. :D!

Here is my summary (*Spoilers*):







Long ago Dragonriders (Jedi) who use magic (the Force), maintained peace in the land. But then one rider turned evil (Darkside) and betrayed the Dragonriders (Jedi). He gets another rider to join him (Darth Vader) who has strong magic (the Force). The first one becomes the Emperor (The Emperor) who hunts down and kills all the Dragonriders (Jedi) and enslaves the land.

"Sometimes we don't present the Gospel well enough for the non-elect to reject it."
- John MacArthur

"In the total expanse of the human life, there is not a single square inch of which Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, 'That is mine'."
- Abraham Kuyper

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)

"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper

"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."
- John Bunyan

althought not exaclty accurate...you fail to remember that Eragond didn't really find out about Brom for a long time...So he really didn't go in search of him.

Also, the Princess didn't want to send the Egg to another dragon Rider she just teleported it to keep it away from the badguys..^^;

I noticed that the Uncle died in the movie, (which was actually inaccurate according to my memory of the book)


I think this movie was inspired by a lot of things...but so are a lot of things. Nothing is new under the sun, I don't see why everyone is dogging this movie..it was a decent fantasy film! I nearly cried!
