I actually liked the Eragorn film, granted I have never read the books. No, it's the backlash from the fans that annoyed the living fuck out of me.PunkRex said:Oh christ! I hated that film, my sister enjoyed the books and the slowly deteriorating look on her face as that bloody movie went on depressed the hell out of me. I mean the guy had a two week long swordsmanship course and gained the skill to leap off a swooping dragon, land on a firey bat demon and slay the warlock guy riding it... I mean bloody hell I just about learn't how to use photoshop in three weeks!canadamus_prime said:Oh boy, it's going to be Eragorn all over again.
I actually watched the Nostalgia Chick reveiw for this last night and she seemed to enjoy it although I suppose shes more in its target demographic. Its good to have variety.
Catfish Jellybean, I wee'd a little Bob! Expect my cleaning bill.

Sometimes pessimism can be a good thing. If you go in expecting crappiness and enjoy it, it'll seem that much better. If you go in expecting brilliance and it doesn't live up to it, you're bound to be disappointed.wooty said:Im off to see this in about....an hour.
Maybe I shouldnt of watched this review, I'll be going into it with an expectation of crapiness now

Hunger Games not Eragon. And yes Hunger Games followed the book better than any other movie adaption I can think ofcanadamus_prime said:I actually liked the Eragorn film, granted I have never read the books.

I prefer that to an average. Having an idea of how many critics would recommend it is far more useful than an average of their assigned scores.varmintx said:For everyone bringing out the RT score as if that somehow refutes Bob's opinion, that's an aggregate of how many critics were favorable to the film, not an indication of how much the critics liked it. The average rating is 7.2 there and Metacritic's score is 68. Probably still better than what I think Bob would give it numerically, but not by much.
I know which one you meant. Do you really think that matters? I still foresee torrents of outraged fans decrying it because it didn't live up to their personal (and extremely outrageous) expectations.artanis_neravar said:Hunger Games not Eragon.
