FILM DESCRIPTION:
Industrial Light and Magic special-effects wizard Stefen Fangmeier makes the leap into the director’s chair with this coming-of-age fantasy concerning a young boy whose discovery of a mysterious dragon egg leads him on a predestined journey to become a Dragon Rider and defend his peaceful world against an evil king. Based on the best-selling novel by Christopher Paolini, Eragon tells the tale of the titular character (Ed Speleers), a humble farm boy living in the land of Alagasia, whose life is forever changed when he discovers that he has been chosen to fight the most powerful enemy his world has ever known.

  1. I’ve never heard the word “loose” used in a movie to command archers to fire, and honestly it’s another example of the pooor screenplay. In the words of Glenn Gould, “never be clever for the sake of being clever”.

  2. I see a bunch of people griping that "The book was better", and, having not read the book, I'm not sure about that from my personal views. But the movie was still entertaining to say the least. I enjoyed it when I saw it in theaters, and that's what I care most about.

    Like SST, on its own, it is a good movie. Is it a 1-1 telling of the book? No. I've heard that the book covers a time period of a couple years while Saphira grows from hatchling to Adult, and that it takes even longer for her to breath fire. You guys do have to understand, that film-makers are sometimes pressured to get a book movie out, and may not be given the best of budgets. Of course, some of this could be down to the fact that the writer of the novel had little say in the film making process, like how Robert A. Heinlein didn't have much say in how SST was made into a film (he died almost a decade before SST hit theaters though).

    It just all depends on several factors:
    1. Does the studio care to stay close to the source material?
    and
    2. Does the IP holder have a say in how it's handled?

    Case in point, the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings films. While, again, not 1-1 retellings of their respective novels, they were still as close as practical, but that's because the studios were willing to take a chance on the IPs, and give them the money they needed to get the job done right. The CG team in charge of this film was spot on though, and made Saphira very believable. The writers may have compressed the story to fit the film, but they may have been given a target length, and they may have had to make compromises to hit that target.

    At the end of the day though, there were a lot of talented people who poured their heart and soul into the film. Even if you don't like the final project, at least give credit that these guys did the best that they could.
