Just got back from watching Eragon with the guys. I don't think I've ever seen a movie that butchered a book so badly. Nor have I ever seen a movie with such bad writing. There were moments when I actually recoiled in horror. From a line reading. So. Bad.
It was like the writers couldn't decide what movie they wanted to mirror: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or Narnia. So. Bad.
I pretty much had Chris and Marc on either side of me trying to console me throughout the entire movie. The whole 99 minutes of it. How on earth do you fit that kind of book into an hour and 39 minutes? Basically you fit it all into 99 minutes and you have people, like me, crying inside from the pain of such a monstrosity. So. Bad.
Not only did they change the order of events and the story a tad to make it easier to follow (a task they failed at), which I would've been alright with, but they changed the personalities of the characters. That is unforgivable. What purpose to the movie does changing characters have? So. Bad.
SO. BAD.
