Did anybody else think that they left too much out of the Eragon Movie?

Question

I thought they left too much out of it.

Answer 1

YES! and i hated everything about Arya. In the movie she was too nice, red hair, did not have pointy ears, i was really disappointed in how they portrayed her. I didn't think they did great with Saphira either, not just the looks but personality wise. It couldve been a lot better.

Answer 2

Most definitely! Even though the book itself is rather lengthy and a little long-winded in the details itself, the movie has lost the essential parts of the cast, and they made Arya just a princess warrior of Ellesmera, not the royal elf.

I don't think they'll be making Eldest after this, because Katrina does not exist and Roran is just escaping the claws of the Empire by running away, not going away to work for money. If they do make the movie, Jeod and Solembaun can't make their appearances, so it'll mean more edits to the original text.

Answer 3

Yes. I do not know how they could possibly make Eldest after this.

First of all, Katrina was cut. How can Roran get so angry if she is not taken? Also, Solembun was gone, and the advice he makes (also, Angela???? Umm, not the real Angela).

A huge thing in Eldest is Arya refusing Eragon's advane. The movie made it out like she loved him (also openly admitted she was a princess).

Dwarves are left out.

No introduction to Du Vrangr Gata.

It was a very poor attempt at what could have been an excellent movie. I though after HP and LOTR movie directors/screenwriters/studios/producers would have realized that the more you base in on the book, the more people like it.... ah, well.

Answer 4

YES!!! In the novel, Shapira's scales shone like gems but the movie make Shapira a very dull colour. Arya too, she didn't have any pointy ears and she was supposed to be an elf! They also cut many details from the novel. Yeah and how can a dragon grow that big in a few seconds?

Answer 5

besides the undeniable fact that i became appalled at how badly the action picture became completed, based on the e book, i do no longer think of it is the worst that I even have considered. i think of the precise on my checklist is "Angels and Demons." merely after the 1st 10 minutes of the action picture it became so incorrect with characters lacking and each little thing merely.... incorrect, i had to stroll out of the theater. i did no longer bypass into it anticipating the action picture to be precisely like the e book, in spite of the undeniable fact that it became so a techniques off i do no longer see how Dan Brown might desire to settle for it. and then the main modern-day "Beowulf" the cgi one with a nil.5 bare Angelina Jolie. It became terrible, even "The thirteenth Warrior" which especially plenty ripped off the Beowulf plot and became based off it is very own e book (Eaters of the lifeless) did a extra helpful job then that did. And to massacre such an important piece of literature like that would desire to be a capital offense. i think the comparable of flicks that are based off of historic activities. in case you will portray an experience that certainly got here approximately a minimum of get it suitable. Oh nicely, Hollywood will do despite the desire/can to get money out of persons.

Answer 6

Big Yes! I was really hoping it would be as good as LOTR or even Harry Potter films, but I was very disappointed. They sacrificed quality for a quick buck and lost an excellent novel in the process. I hope and pray they make a decent effort with the next one.

Answer 7

Yeah, they did leave out quite a bit. And how could the Dragon grow that big in 5 seconds?

Answer 8

yes! but the movie actually wasn't that bad....
