britt ✨ (britteeebee) | 287 comments I absolutely HATED the movie! The whole time I was like NO!!!!! SO MANY THINGS WRONG!!!!

lol that is what I did.

I'm not to mad but not thrilled about it. They missed out of some better parts in the book that they could have included in the movie.

Jared (therobot) | 152 comments yeah they ruined the movie


message 56: by Harpoon (new)

Harpoon ... | 1387 comments the varden looks like an cave, not that lavish from the book.


message 57: by Jared (new)

Jared (therobot) | 152 comments yeah and what happened to the stairs that took like an hour to climb or whatever.wait was that in the movie?


message 58: by britt ✨ (new)

britt ✨ (britteeebee) | 287 comments Yeah and they didn't even have Isidar Mithrim which is what I was looking forward to the most from Farthen Dur!!! I was so disappointed!

That's why Eragon & Durza fighting was so messed up and didn't follow the book at all.


message 59: by Jared (new)

Jared (therobot) | 152 comments isidar mithrim was the star glass thing right?


message 60: by britt ✨ (new)

britt ✨ (britteeebee) | 287 comments Yep Isidar Mithrim was the Star Sapphire that made up the ceiling in Tronjheim that separated the dragonhold from the inside of the mountain :)

And they didn't even have it in the movie!!!!!! That's why Durza rode that smoke/dragon/demon thing when he was fighting Eragon. It was supposed to be Eragon and Durza fighting in Tronjheim and then Arya is riding Saphira and they break the Star Sapphire to distract Durza so Eragon can kill him.

Yeah it was a pretty important part that they left out...


message 61: by Jared (new)

Jared (therobot) | 152 comments yeah, the movie stunk


message 62: by Saphira (new)

Saphira | 2 comments i would not watch eldest if it was ever turned into a film. they ruined eragon as it is, would be sad to see them ruin another nice book.
Anyways, as Eragon was a piece of crap, i dont think we'll have to worry about it in the near future, and not until they remake eragon.


message 63: by britt ✨ (new)

britt ✨ (britteeebee) | 287 comments Hahaha those are some mighty high expectations Ursula lol

Peter Jackson as Director would be EPIC!!! And if they did make a remake, CP should have way more say in the script and the overall casting and shooting of the movie.

Like Suzanne Collins and The Hunger Games, for fans of that series. She wrote the screenplay and is working very closely with the director to make sure it follows the book extremely closely.

Zack (Myrddin767) | 68 comments I wouldnt mind it not following the book exactly, since it is the movie version. HOWEVER, they cant just completely botch the movie, and ruin the storyline the way they did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. >_<


message 65: by Natalie (new)

Natalie Sue (nataliesue25) This is all making me want to watch the movie just to remember how bad it was...

Harpoon ... | 1387 comments Anime has reaaly big eyes. weird.


message 70: by Jared (new)

Jared (therobot) | 152 comments yeah, kinda creepy


message 71: by J.a (new)

J.a | 1 comments I HOPE SO!!!!!!!!! i havent seen eragon yet, cuz ii never get the time. can someone plz tell me how it goes? some ppl say it is really good. others say it sucked, compared to the book. im pretty sure it did, but it cant be helped, since eragon is such a long book, i dont see how they would have fit that all into one movie, ppl say that it wasnt such a big hit, so they dont have enough money to make a new movie. some say they left out katrina and orik. i dont see why they dont just bring katrina into the secong movvie, i mean she wasnt that importent in the first movie, so they could do without her. orik too.... and they should make one cuz they ended eragon the movie on a note of suspense, (i did see the ending) when they show shruiken. (is that how you spell it?) i hope they make one though...


message 72: by David (new)

David jones | 21 comments OK. Eragon the movie is okay if it stands alone from the book. But if you read the book and watch the movie or vice versa then it is a horrible movie.


Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ❤ Angel ~ Of Monsters and Men ❤ nope they won't, if they did they'd have to remake the first movie otherwise i'd never see it anddddd Roran was played by Heath Ledger and he died (which was a terrible loss) soo.. in conclusion its a definite no no

He didn't even look the way CP described Murtagh in the books! I was very disappointed with him playing that role. He didn't fit the character at all! I hope if they remake the movie and make Eldest they change a bunch of the cast members...or get a whole new cast for that matter!

Although, Jeremy Irons was an excellent Brom...even though he didn't look how the character was described. He would be the only cast member I'd keep if I remade the movie.


message 75: by Harpoon (new)

Harpoon ... | 1387 comments Having old characters back on the second movie? I think they should leave them alone. or they're get to be compared.


message 76: by harshini (new)

harshini  (watchmeread) I won't suggest it if turned out like the first movie.


message 77: by Harpoon (new)

Harpoon ... | 1387 comments not teh old movie.... noooooo.....


message 78: by harshini (new)

harshini  (watchmeread) more like, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


message 79: by Lyrasha (new)

Lyrasha | 5 comments In my opinion they would need a different director and producer than the the movie Eragon. I have seen many books made into movies and that was probably the worst. It would be nice if they tried to do it differently but I think that it would also confuse many non-readers. The plot was not clear in the first movie, hence it would be hard to follow the plot of Eldest.


message 80: by Harpoon (new)

Harpoon ... | 1387 comments then new eragon movie. like the way the revive batman and spiderman movies.


message 81: by Amber~Michelle (new)

Amber~Michelle (supermegahappyskull) | 4 comments I'm just going to put a piece of my mind in here :P
I watched Eragon the movie before I read the books, and I can honestly say I loved the movie. Watching it caused me to read the book and realise how horribly the movie was made, and exactly how many mistakes were in there.
I hope that Eldest will NEVER become a movie. Unless it stays 100% true to the books. But that would take too much time, and would mean that there needs to be a remake of Eragon which is highly unlikely to happen. And if they were going to make a sequel movie they would most likely have to finish the entire series, otherwise there would be no point, however that would take too long, producers would muck up, and it probably wouldn't go anywhere.

That was a bit long winded. Sorry :P


message 82: by FirePony (new)

FirePony | 1 comments How can they when they left out so many things that were important in the first book that leads up to the second book. They would have to remake the first movie before they even thought about a second.


message 83: by Amber~Michelle (new)

Amber~Michelle (supermegahappyskull) | 4 comments Yeah, I wonder if they're ever actually going to do anything more with the series.


message 84: by Kelsey (new)

Kelsey (kelspoo) | 8 comments No, because the Eragon movie ruined it. It would be a really good movie, if only they could make it right :/


message 85: by Amber~Michelle (new)

Amber~Michelle (supermegahappyskull) | 4 comments Yeah. That's true. I hope he writes something about what happens after the ending of Inheritance. I really wanna know what happens.


message 86: by Gwynneth (new)

Gwynneth A. | 5 comments They have to they (like christopher paolini) left it as a cliff hanger.


message 87: by Briaq (last edited Feb 20, 2012 07:06AM) (new)

Briaq  (briaq) | 38 comments I certainly hope they make Eldest into a movie. That would be so epic.

Paolini should write another book about what Murtagh and Thorn after the end of Inheritance.


message 88: by Gwynneth (new)

Gwynneth A. | 5 comments hey...ivnt read inherence plz dont spoil it


message 89: by Briaq (new)

Briaq  (briaq) | 38 comments Just about what Murtagh and Thorn do, though, since we don't really know what happens to them.


message 90: by Amber~Michelle (new)

Amber~Michelle (supermegahappyskull) | 4 comments Not to be mean, but this is the 'Series' discussion. We should feel free to discuss whatever we want :)


message 91: by harshini (new)

harshini  (watchmeread) Guys chill
Gwynneth that is not a huge spoiler but sorry if it did spoil anything for you. And if I were you staying away from this group is a good thing till you have finished the fourth book because everyone here drops spoilers like big bombs!


message 92: by Briaq (new)

Briaq  (briaq) | 38 comments Yeah. Like (view spoiler)


message 93: by Adam (new)

Adam Wechsler | 1 comments Well, maybe. but I think eragon should be redone first. maybe have peter jackson do it, haha, it's sorta like lord of the rings


message 94: by Hyperion (new)

Hyperion | 2 comments By the way the first Eragon movie turned, as an avid fan I was disgusted and embarrassed. I really hope they don't embarrass the fans again by filming another failure.

indeed.

Yeah, the first movie was really confusing and amateury, they made saphira's wings like bird wings and they completely skipped over realy important things like how ayra's an elf and how grumpy she is and stuff. they just kind of went 'meh' and skipped over loads of detail >:/


message 97: by Annalise (new)

Annalise  O'Connor (Annaliseoconnor) | 10 comments at the end of eragon, galbatorix is about to ride out and kill eragon and saphira. (he wasn't trying to kill them in the books)i think it would be rather amusing to see them try


message 98: by Annalise (new)

Annalise  O'Connor (Annaliseoconnor) | 10 comments did you know christopher was actually there at the filming, and was trying to tell the director how to do everything and the director completely dismissed the entire idea of doing it correctly


message 99: by Kelsey (new)

Kelsey (kelspoo) | 8 comments ^
That's just absurd. That is one way you ruin films and make people not even wanna read the books...
