I hated the movie too. They changed the story so completely & utterly! At one stage, I seriously doubted whether I was seeing eragon or some spoofs of it.Nero wrote: Yup, most idiot directors make the movie shorter then it should be. *cough*eragon*cough*

Whew! Tough Review. I've saved myself the torture and simply not seen it. I'll take the book thank you very much.

i have a feeling they'll screw up AoS, then not end up making GE and PG. screenwriters can never just stick to the story, they always have to change the best parts and add irrelevant stuff a.k.a. butchering the original.
they should force the actors to actually read the books so they'll have a better understanding of the characters. but it's doubtful.wrote:I'm just hoping they get the right actors.

Well that could easily be screwed as well, from budgeting, or designs by people who don't understand the book. It'll probably look really kiddie...

Actors usually don't have time to read the books. Atleast, it would be gr8 if JS briefed them on their roles. And he must have an upper hand in the script work & censoring..russian ROULETTE wrote: i have a feeling they'll screw up AoS, then not end up making GE and PG. screenwriters can never just stick to the story, they always have to change the best parts and add irrelevant stuff a.k.a. butchering the original.

oh maybe they should cast some actors who have read the books before (before as in when the books first came out). even some unknowns would be ok. imagine if someone in the forums got a role for the movie! :D well it's not likely, but it's possible.
