I still pretend the movie doesn't exist. Someone who knew what they were doing could have done a much better job.

Time wont fix it, believe me. I reckon you're much better off for not having finished that movie. I think the first 30 minutes is a good indicator for the rest of the film since it never once got better from where it started, just worse. I wish I could prove you wrong, because it breaks my heart that the movie was so terrible since Eragon was a really important book in my childhood. But yeah...it just didn't make the cut. I feel like if someone remade it and actually focused on the really important elements then perhaps a movie would be worth rewatching, but trust me...you really don't want to waste your time on the one they did make.uyky wrote: ↑11 Jan 2018, 06:31 It is one of the movies I never finished. Those books were some of my favourites growing up and managed to take me to a completely another world in a blink. Movie would have shattered that memory for me if I watched it longer than half an hour. That half an hour was disappointing enough. So I didn't. Now I must honestly say that I don't remember much of a movie, but also that I'm not ready to give it another try, because if any book was good for me, the movie based on it never reached it Maybe I just need more time and someone can prove me wrong about that.

YES. TV series could be so much better, since movies always have problems with time management. I know the season 1 of Game of thrones was quite well put together and followed its book (I only saw first season and read the first book). I also loved Atwood's The Handmaid's tale as series. So, basically, what I'm trying to say here is that I would definitely watch that.E G Suth wrote: ↑12 Jan 2018, 07:48 Totally agree with everyone here. I loved this series growing up and it was so sad seeing how much of a disappointment the film was. I really hope they remake it at some point in the future as it has so much potential. In fact thinking about it now, wouldn't a short TV series provide it more justice and allow the writers to stick truer to the books?

Totally agree with you about Game of Thrones there. A good book was turned into an amazing season by following reasonably close to the book. There's always hope it will happen with Eragon!uyky wrote: ↑12 Jan 2018, 11:29YES. TV series could be so much better, since movies always have problems with time management.

I enjoy the movie and have heard people bash it, just like The Golden Compass and Avatar: the last air bender. I don't always trust the opinion of others when it comes to movies but I know where they are coming from.
