Could be nice.

The 2000’s movie wasn’t that good, but this kind of stories are too long to fit in a single movie.

That’s a …. Very generous thing to say about that movie. Lmao

I got banned from their Facebook page because I absolutely thrashed the fuck out of their movie. I was so mad, I was defacing their Wikipedia page every chance I had.

Childhood was thinking the Eragon film was bad. Adulthood is realizing the books are bad.

I’ve hear Christopher Paolini has gotten a lot better at writing, maybe I should check out his new stuff…

Throw fantasy in a blender and see what comes out.

I mean, he was 15? Not bad. Not good.

The movie was utter dogshit and YA is so over done.

A friend and I used terrible Internet and waited 20 minutes for a trailer to buffer when it was released. I paid 99 cents to watch the movie in theatres when it was still new. I wanted my money back. I’ve never felt so betrayed in my life.

This will not do well. There was barely an Eragon fanbase when it was released, all the fans have now grown up and realised it was terrible anyway

I liked the magic system

terrible is harsh. wordy. simple. sophomoric. not terrible

I really liked it. Its not award worthy, but fun and the world building (such as the magic system) is really cool.

Having said that, I’m far too traumatised from a particular movie to ever trust an adaptation of this series.

I think if they keep the heroic journey + dragons concept and some.of the characters it can be a good show. They should not keep to the source material.

I remember reading the first book at age 12 and liking, then when I was like 14 I read game of thrones and it blew me away. Then I read the sequel to Eragon and it was the most painful experience of my life.
