Eragon the movie

[Dirk Skene]

It looks interesting. I will probably try to rent it soon.

Here we go again with another "It didn't follow the book" whine fest. I am sorry but how long does it take people to get it through their skulls full of mush that it is a MOVIE!!!! Very few books brought to the screen are ever anything like the book. THAT'S Hollywood!! Come on people! If many books were brought to the screen as they were written, many movies would last 8-10 hours!

I apologize for venting but I tire very easily of this kind of thing. You would figure that buy now it would get through to some. Bottom line, its a movie, enjoy it for that fact.

Flame on!

I would normally agree with this statement but sometimes the movie is SO much different that you can't even say that it was based off of a book!

That stupid Lemony Snickett movie was like that. It was based off the first three books in that series and they still had stuff in there not from the books! I actually got my money back for that one.

If you're going to base a movie on a book you should at least keep it similar. Otherwise it's something other than what's being 'promised'.
