You people need to get your hands on some better books.

I saw this movie the other day. I've never read the book, so I have nothing to compare it to, but I did actually roll my eyes like three times while watching it; it was that corny. But the dragon was cute as a baby, and the fight scenes were pretty good, though more intense than I thought they might be for PG--some little girl in the row behind us was scared out of her wits and wanted to leave the theatre.

I wouldn't buy it or anything, and I dunno if I'd watch it again. *shrug*

I enjoyed the book but the movie was terrible! You could easily pick out the mistakes and altogether it was boring. Also they missed out a lot of things that will make the second movie understandable. (even though the second book is rubbish anyway)

I think that it was rubbish and they could have done a lot better and made a better movie.

its simple really the books were good and the film was horrible!
the only thing that was remotely right was Brom.

showing galbatorix and his dragon was a huge mistage. Enormous mistake! it ruins the film even more.

Watching that movie was quite possibly the worst hour and forty-something minutes of my life. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do more: Throw my soda at the movie screen and storm out in a huff, or fall asleep from sheer boredom. The only actor who was remotely convincing was Jeremy Irons, but even that didn't do much to change how lame it was. I know I've posted about how much I disliked it before, but it really ticks me off of how crappy a job they did.

At first I wanted to watch the movie, but after reading the book I did not want to waste my money. The book was a mix of cliches, flat characters and stolen plots and ideas. I have no idea why it became such a hit. I like Harry Potter, but to those of you who don't, at least it was original.not one of the best reads of my life.

I've read the book, and I want to watch the movie, but everybody is saying it's so bad. You'd think that would make me wanna NOT watch it, but it only makes me more desperate to watch it, lol..

I suppose that to make a good movie out of a crap book is really asking the impossible. It was never going to work. Simple.

What? He kills the ra'zac? I'm reading book two (merely to see what happens, Roran bores me to death) and I know the ra'zac appear there. And the bit from book three at the back shows the ra'zacs lair. Paolini never wrote a a great book, but letting his story slip that badly is pretty disgraceful. LOOK AFTER YOUR WORK MAN!!!

I read an amazon review, I think it was, where someone said that when the dragon is the only good actor, you know you have a problem.

I liked the book when I first read it. I knew the movie would probably be crap, but I watched it anyway. One of the main things I was waiting for was the explosion of the Star Rose(in the Varden hideout) cause that would have been fawwesome in movie special effects.

Put it this way.

A terrible adaption of a terrible book by a terrible author who based it off an amzing writer (Tolkien).

Sorry for he bluntless, but that is how much I hate Paolini.

Can anyone here spell "lackluster"?

Come on...you know there's something wrong with a film when you and your sister/whoever are laughing during the huge battle scene at the end: we thought that the evil villain (I forget his name because I have not read the books---the one who looks like an overgrown Gothic Chucky) looked like one of the subs we knew from my middle school. When the climactic scenes that are supposed to shut you up make you start laughing out loud at how ridiculous they are, you need to take a restart at film school.

Just watch Lord of the Rings and appreciate Peter Jackson. I know I will.

The movie wasn't nice at all, in my opinion. The book wasn't good either. When my sisters and I watched the movie, we thought that the egg looked like a jelly bean (my mom thought it was a pill)...

The movie was fun to laugh at. If you know the TV show Mystery Science Theatre 3000, I think that this would be a good candidate for it. They didn't even bothing spending two minutes to give a proper introduction to one of the characters who did play a rather important roll in the book.
