Eragon.

[Angel of Death]

Now this has been made into a movie, i was wondering what you guys thought of the books.

Ive heard good things so far.

 

EDIT: Sorry just realized this is on the wrong board, could a moderator or admin please move it for me.

Read the post title and thought "oh no, not another Eragon bashing" - turns out its not :lol:

 

Well, i've read both books (several times), there sitting on my book shelf right next to WoT, so i guess that means i like them

 

Actually, i'm quite looking foward to the film(s) (and the third book)

[Angel of Death]

I WAS looking forward to the film, but now ive seen the trailer and read the first book, i think the movie is gonna be crap.

[Kadere]

yeah, I haven't read the books, but I did just go and view the trailer, and it looks.... mediocre.

*going to check it out*

I liked Eragon, although Eldest was a bit too slow. Think the movie's gonna be cool though!

[Alys Kinch]

i can't find anywhere with the trailer. anyone want to link it? all i found are production photos. and it looks like jeremy irons gets to be brom. that can't be too bad, can it?

You can find almost anything on YouTube.com

it reminded me a bit of the harry potter goblet of fire one. the way they tried to super dramatize it. *shrugs* i am sure i will have to see it good or bad.

[Kadere]

It looks identical to the crappy Dungeons and Dragons film they made a few years ago with subpar visual effects, corney dialouge, horrendous costumes, and head scratching set design.

 

In my opinion anyway.

[Hannibal King]

I liked the books, but I agree with Kadere on one thing. For everyone who haven't read the books, Varden are supposed to be armed resistence housed for safety in the kingdom/home of dwarves. And in the trailer they have them dressed like insane jamaicans(no racism intended)! I mean really, who goes to war in long orange, green, leopard, and blue robes??????

especially when color is an indication of wealth and they are poooooor...

Those books are somewhere in my top 5 list, and I'm all kinds of excited about the movie. Especially after seeing the trailer. Of course it won't be EXACTLY like the book... No movie ever is. What matters is if the director's interpretation of it makes a good story. December 15 is a long time! Bah!

[Hannibal King]

Well dyes could explain that. But it just looks so stupid and cheesy.

[Daetirion]

i still have issues with certain things in the books, but i wont go into it here

 

however that trailer does look good! Minor problems being I cant stand the English Public Schoolboy accent thats running through films at the moment (Narnia, Stormbreaker and now Eragon)and the likelyhood it will dissapoint like so many others

 

however, film = publicity, and that cant be bad for the genre as a whole

 

 

now where is that Eragon bashing thread?

I agree! I can hardly wait!
