I’ll be brief in explanation:
My mom got Eragon out of the library for me and my siblings to watch.
Before all you anti-Paolini fiends jump on me, read ahead. I came up with some amusing alternate titles for the film.
- Eragon and the Quest for Better Costuming
- Eragon’s Extremely Awkward “Man” Moments
- Eragon and the Fifteen Months of Crying Over the Butchering of His Story
- Eragon, Who Thinks He Can Use A Sword
Anyways. My biggest problems with the film were these:
Exhibit A: Bad Dialogue
Sorry, Eragon, but your dialogue sucked overall. And the fact that you were portrayed by a horrible, horrible actor didn’t help matters any.
Exhibit B: Arya
Um, wasn’t she supposed to have dark hair? She just was kind of sucky overall. Including the fact that one of the better plotlines from Eldest was laid flat-out for all to see. Oops.
And, of course, there was the whole thing with the dragon. A lot of things were just… not… congruent? No. That isn’t the word. Something that I can’t remember. I’ll see about editing later.
