My heart is breaking when I think about this movie and I'm so confused. I loved all the books. Eragon was my first love when I was a kid and I remember being happy to see the movie. (I've read all the books and even finish a game on my Playstation back in the days.) It has premiere on my birthday in Prague and I went there happy I will finally see it in a movie and altought I liked it as a kid (because I was just blinded by it being in movie), everytime I watch it I felt sad. I'm sad they did such a bad job and didn't keep up with a book so it basically impossible to shoot the other books. It had so much potential as a book but because the movie adaptation was so bad it just didn't get the fame as it deserves. When I re-read the books again I was surprised how much deep thoughts it contains. It's such a shame.

This book was written when the author around 15, and he then followed up the trilogy, making it a tetralogy for the primary stories in the Brisingr series (plus the recently released Murtagh book). This book absolutely blew me away, and then the series kept me so deeply engaged, as you get the feel of Le Guin and Tolkien quite a bit, and I am sure there are other fantasy author's there, but fantasy is not generally my genre. This movie is not an adaptation, it is a script someone wrote after reading it, thinking they could condense it into this movie. Now, I enjoy the movie as a standalone movie, so long as we totally forget the books (which I read as they were released), and I could have seen them building on this, hopefully adding some of the missing stuff from the books.

Simple and nice plot . Need to give the movie a second chapter .

One of my absolute favorite books series. This movie is an insult. It literally feels like they took the most basic of basic outlines and said screw everything else. This should have been so good but it's just one big train wreck.

I actually loved the premise and what the movie was trying to convey, the effects is other story but i was expecting a reboot or sequel to this so it could be better than this... **But alas Reviewers and Critics _Bummed_ it down so much that no one will ever see it's potential among the cold harsh words of ash and dust...** ==Fare Well Gem of Men==
