Well,...Its been awhile that I listened to the book. <BR/><BR/>Well, I agree that some scenes like the rescue scene, where he rescued the princess happened too fast and in the book it seemed like it took longer to get to that point. Brom and Eragon (I assume Brom was Eragon's teacher) relationship (character development) took longer in the book then the movie but movies are usually shorter, or more condensed. <BR/><BR/>Movies are visual. When I go to a movie, I judge a movie by the experience I recieve. The flights of the dragon, the final battle scene I think they probably took a long time to create, and I think well done. <BR/><BR/>Maybe if the movie were a little longer and would have been Rated PG-13 instead of PG. It would have been closer to the book. <BR/><BR/>But saying the movie sucked is just to harsh and not fair for the work that was done. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure they will make movies out of the other books in the Inheritance Trilogy and do it better then this first movie with what they learned from this first movie. <BR/><BR/>One more think to remember, the audiobook is 16 hours unabridged.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01244543745123392496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528329.post-1167278095815887692006-12-27T22:54:00.000-05:002006-12-27T22:54:00.000-05:00I really cannot see how after reading the book and...I really cannot see how after reading the book and watching the movie you can honestly say that the book was done justice. The movie was piss poor and that is being diplomatic. Yes you cannot fit the whole book into a movie and their must be alterations to the plot. However that does not mean that the movie has to suck which it did. Most of the characters did not do justice to what is in the book save brom and eragon to a limited extent. Angela totally sucked Joss Stone should stick to singing. The Robert Carlyle who played the Shade Durza came closest to what was in the book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
