Eragon was (no offense) a waste of my time. I thought it would be good to watch but was so disappointed. It was better as a book. They should have tried harder to make it a good movie.

Fifty Shades of Grey, Dark Tower were very good movies made from books. Twilight movie was not as good as the book itself,the movie missed out on a lot,there were a lot of gaps in the movie.

The twillight saga(books stephenie meyer)and the insurgent (book by veronica Roth) book to movie is absolutely terrible..the books are a really good read but the movies are not even 50% as good.

Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, gone with the wind, the shining are movies that were turned into very good movies.

Pride and Prejudice, and Jane Eyre - two great books into great movies.

Ender's Game and the Twilight series - great books into awful movies.
