*** This review may contain spoilers ***

I feel compelled ever after all these years to still write a review of
this. I happened to by the book 2 years before Eragon the film was
realised, so i went to the movies to see what i thought would be at
least a quarter of the book. It seems i had to high expectations. The
Film is the biggest letdown of such an amazing book. It is like They
read the blurb on the back and decided to make the film. Bar the name
and the fact it has a dragon in it, you would be hard pressed to guess
it was Eragon. Its not just little things they missed out. but 5-6
chapters of a book in one go. But they missed so much out that it did
not make sense. I can understand them missing out sections as it is not
possible to fit in a whole book for a film. But it was so bad i thought
it had fallen asleep and missed an hour. Then there is the little
details. OK there not that important. but they are still needed. Like
the Urgals not having horns? how many times does the book say about
THERE HORNS. yet the director decided that they would be humans and not
8 feet tall monsters like there meant to be. There is also the fact
that Eragons house whilst back in Carvahall is meant to be about 2
miles away from the village. Yet in the film its right on the edge.
This is a real shame that a book of this quality has been let down by
some crap directing. The CGI in the film is pretty good. and the acts
are not all that bad. I believe Eragon was miscast but not that bad.
All in all, don't pay for this film. if its on TV and your bored out
your mind then i say watch it. But if you really want entertainment
read the book and you will find a whole new world that never even can
up in the film.
