When I watched the movie whilst separating my self from the thoughts and ideas of the book, it was a good movie. Unfortunately there were quite a few things in the movie that kept it from being epic. It had the air of something that was trying, trying so hard and yet failing, failing so miserably to be an epic. The book, whilst I am unsure I can refer to it as literature, was good, especially for the young age of the author. There were a few discrepancies that I have noticed, however nothing major drew my attention. I liked the plot line for the story. But I was disappointed with the movie when I viewed it from the eyes of the book. There were several parts that, quite simply, were disappointing. For one I enjoyed the slow progression from baby dragon to full fledged dragon that was found in the book. The movie, while spectacular, was empty. The transitions that happened to both Saphira and Eragon thought that time were vital in developing their character. Also, Terim was important! How dare they remove it! The biggest thing, through, was Saphira's appearance. I was hoping for more of a Dragon Heart type dragon, not this feathered thing they made. Saphira is supposed to be scary... not... feathery!

Someone find me the guy who made this movie so that I may rip out his heart and make him eat it. He destroyed Eragon, utterly and totally. Were I Christopher Paolini, I would never have let him near my book. There were many thing wrong with the move. I shall list some--that's right, SOME--of them:
1. The Shade was supposed to be malicious with pointed teeth, BLOOD-red hair, a pale face, and, from my remembance, he was deathly awesome looking.
2. The Ra'zak were supposed to be wearing cloaks that made their backs look humped, and they never ever were shown in the first book except for glimpses...maybe.
3. Garrow did not die at the farm; Eragon took him back to the village, and that is where he died, the honors to the dead were performed, Eragon stole, and Brom met up with him.
4. What in hell happened to Jeod and that whole city by the sea? For crying out loud, that was a major part!
5. It took time for Sapphira to learn to speak with Eragon. It didn't happen overnight, nor did her growth happen in an instant with a fiery blast.
6. There is no mention of Eragon ever riding on Sapphira's tail, nor would it be possible. The tail is a rudder for flight, and with Eragon's weight, it would be too difficult to lift.
7. Sapphira only learned how to breathe fire at the very end of the book, before Eragon blacked out.
8. ...I should stop now.
The point is, I would have enjoyed it better if they had stuck to the book and just made a whole series of movies, instead of cutting out vital information and compromising them.
Oh yeah, when is the third book coming out?

And yes, I hate the fact how she grows with a flight fire-ball. And she couldn't even breath fire untill she was six months old, not after she had a sudden growth-spirt in the air, and that never happend in the book! There are many other things they took out also. The movie destroyed the book.

ARMAGEDDON12 And yes, I hate the fact how she grows with a flight fire-ball.

There are many other things they took out also. The movie destroyed the book. Not only did they destroy the book, they killed the next movie as well! How will they do the movie anything like the book without Eragon's scar down his back? That was almost half of Eldest! stressed Plus when Eragon was sliced by Durza and he thought he was going to die, The Cripple Who is Whole saved him and convinced him to go to Weldenvarden...I doubt there is even going to be a second movie at all. On the other hand, if you haven't read the books, it was a fantastic movie. It goes together well and makes partial sense (more if you read the book, but that just makes you angry when they skip 4 chapters or so in a row). If you haven't read the book, but watched the movie, read it at your own risk.
