Re: Eragon

Aggggghhhhhhhh I'm lost. Where are we? Ah yes. Peter Jackson had that budget for 3 and Eragon had the same budget for 1. But then again LOTR was alot better.

Re: Eragon

I really enjoyed both Eragon and Eldest and thought it was a rather good read. Though, there were some parts where I really want to whack Eragon across the head; esp with him and the whole Arya thing.

You'd probably want to do that too me as well with my woman problems.

Eragon is alot like other books/stories. Star Wars and LOTR.

Re: Eragon

Re: Eragon

I went crazy while watching it. Had had my rant in the Eragon movie section thing. They ruined it!

Hey I live in Sydney too!

Then I wouldn't want to know the location Upright man. I'm too young to die =D

Did anyone like the location? Did anyone like the location?! The better question is did anybody like anything about the movie? It was a complete waste of my time and money to go to that theater.

Agreed!!! Waste of money. Not waste of time cause I wasnt going to be doing anything at the time that I did go and see it except watch the cricket so not a waste of time for me. But money yes. I paid $11.50 (Australian) to see that and I dont like to spend my money. I mean I went to K-mart to get my lollies to eat for the movie.

So, I'll slap your wrist and tell you to read the book itself before saying that you despise the author for something he has no control over. Lecture over
I didn't enjoy it at all. I couldn't get past the first few chapters. One of the problems is I kept hearing it compared to Harry Potter in terms of QUALITY, not just volumes sold. Sadly, no, it isn't Harry Potter. J. K. Rowling is lightyears ahead of Paolini.

I put it down and have been a constant detractor of it ever since. I have two friends who enjoyed it. One of them has read Harry Potter and agrees with me on at least that point. The other won't read it because it isn't "mature fantasy."

I'll just let you all laugh with me there.
