Despite everything that everyone else says I really liked the Movie of Eragon. People have said the they left too much of the book out, and that there weren't enough people in the final battle. However! I think that we can't really judge them on what they put in or left out until we have seen all three movies. Because, although they did leave out things that I would say are "important", (such as Roren's Katrina, the child that Eragon blesses, and the Star-sapphire) I think that they will easily be able to put in the child and the Star-sapphire in a flash back and Katrina they will most assuredly be able to put in the second movie, Eldest.
And they did some things really, really well. The Sephira was really good (so cute when she was born, and then really impressive grown.) Brom was exquisitely well done by Jeremy Irons and was sarcastic and jumpy and all that he was supposed to be. Ed Speelers played Eragon very well, making him strong headed and slightly arrogant when it comes to his skills. I don't know HOW they found someone to play Roren who looked so much like Eragon. The Shade, Durza was satisfyingly creepy and mad looking and i really liked how they showed how powerful he was. Because in the final battle he actually made a dragon-sized creature of Dark magic to ride and fight Eragon and Sephira. My favorite character, Murtag(sp?) was also well done.
The only problem that I really found was that sometimes the way the people said things didn't really match the era that the movie is set in. But all in all I really liked it and it is the first move I have seen in a long time that Daddy said the he really liked.
