I was so excited when i heard about the movie but i was real upset after watching the eragon movie. I read the book before and it had lots of unexpected twist and turns in it that i really liked but thanks to the movie it spoiled it for me. Yeah thanks a lot for destroying this masterpiece by Christopher Paolini the young genius. I'd like to know what the people who read the book before watching it and the people who didn't read the book before watching it think about the movie...

I was going to sneak into see this movie, but luckily I noticed Casino Royale was just starting down the hall. So I won't to see that one instead, and I'm glad I made that decision.

Generally watching the movie after reading the book is a big disappointment.
It's the avid readers who watch the movie before reading to book who get the maximum enjoyment out of the experience... but nowdays moviemakers often choose a novel for adaption by how many readers the book attracted first.
Sometimes if you're lucky, you can read the book first then a long time passes since you read it, you forget a lot then you are able to enjoy the movie adaption.
Then there are a few rare cases where the movie is better than the book...Forrest Gump is one.

I have not read the book yet, so I saw the movie first. I enjoyed the movie very much. I think it's always better to see the movie before reading the book, you enjoy both much more. Unfortunately by the time the second movie comes out I will have read the book for it. Either way I look forward to it.

I didn't like the movie cos I could tell that the original story had been trimmed in order to fit into the movie time mould. I haven't read the book as yet.

i presumed the right comparable ingredient at the same time as i grew to become into reading Eragon because of the fact, regrettably, I watched the action picture first. I watched it lower back after ending the e book and found out what a travesty it grew to become into. I even have by no skill been that upset with a e book to action picture kind. they could desire to easily re-action picture the action picture with an entire new script it quite is truthful to the e book. the flicks have the flair to be astounding if executed precise.

I sat through it thinking one thing. When is this ever going to end?
