At least Eragon had the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy motif to fall back on. This is just an inferior copy of several much better ideas.canadamus_prime said:Oh boy, it's going to be Eragorn all over again.

It was really good. The books are average. The movie has an 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and is not just an average movie. I wasn't even planning on watching this movie until Monday I realized I wasn't going to be able to watch the Borrowers. I have three friends who went with me that thought it was a good movie, one of whom hadn't read the books and another of whom hated them. This is not a bad movie. This is a very good movie. And I will once again admit that the action scenes and shaky-cam were annoying at best and downright terrible at worst.Frank_Sinatra_ said:Good thing I was right about the movie.
Whenever friends kept linking me to trailers for the movies I would always respond with:
"The trailer is telling me nothing about the movie, and the total lack of them putting in scenes from the movie makes me think that the production value of the movie really isn't that high.

From this we can conclude that he is a reader of the books so take what he says with salt.
Thank you for your time.
In all seriousness dude, it kinda seems like you were caught up in the movie hype and you're going to be prone to defending the movie no matter its faults.
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.
