Eragon (2006)

Re: Eragon The Movie

I know what you mean about the ears and the feathers. There does seem to be some diviation from the way they are susposed to look which is a shame. still think they look good - if not quite correct.
 
Re: Eragon The Movie

if i wanted to see a film where the mythical creature was tame but dangerous and had wings i would watch HP3 again, they have ruined Saphira, ruined Eragon and the fact S spouts fire straight away instead of the steady build up of growth and ability, well i cnat say it as it will be replaced by ******* Stars by the mangaement.
 
Re: Eragon The Movie

I'm liking Durga - he looks the most evil.

Rise Smeagol!! Rise!!!

Have you seen the Japanese trailer? æ˜*画「エラゴン éºå¿—を継ã者ã€å…¬å¼ã‚µã‚¤ãƒˆ
It shows Saphira being born and certainly indicates that there will be a steady build up of her growing with Eragon. Thats what it looks like anyway.

As for Durza - :eek: Hell yeah!

Re: Eragon The Movie

Yeah, he looks quite cool.
But Saphira's blasting out fire all over the place (she does it at least twice in the trailers I've seen) and she only does it ONCE in the book, and that's a momentous occasion, because she does it when Eragon's in grave danger. That's what makes it so special!
Wow, I'm defending the book! Who'd've thunk? But I hate when films mess things up like that. I don't mind the little details, but the fact that Saphira doesn't breathe fire until the very end is clearly stated!
But then...fire is so visually exciting I suppose. Ack.

I have to admit to liking the book and will read Eldest too cannot help but wonder thoughif Eragon doesnt do too well will they make the whole Triology into films or just call it a passing phase.

I agree with what has been said about Saphira she does breathe fire too soon and not for any reason than other to make the trailer and the film look good which will indeed spoil the whole effect of why she does it in the first place.
As for Eragon hes far too much of a show and boastful off whereas in the book he wasnt all that much but he did come into himself for want of a better phrase.

Like LOTR im dreading to see what they have changed or added just for the sake of doing so but I do relent in the fact they cannot put everything into a film it would just be too fussy and not many people would be able to follow it.

And oh yeah why Jeremy Irons were all the other actors doing something else that we just had to have him in the cast
 
Re: Eragon The Movie

Baby Saphira's cute, at least.
But...was that Angela the healer I saw in the Japanese trailer? She's older than that in the book (oh, all right, in my imagination!) And more...witchy and cool...It was only a glimpse, I suppose...hopefully she'll be better when more is seen of her. Hopefully. Angela's cool, leaping into the thick of the battle with her double ended sword! (I'm quite sure she does that, anyway...it's been a while since I read Eragon!) Ooh...and the Werecat. I wonder if he'll be in it?
 
Re: Eragon The Movie

You know I was just reading your post about Angela and thought oh I wonder if the werecat will be in it too.

Angela is too young I never imagined her like that especially being played by Joss Stone and baby Saphira is cute
 
Re: Eragon The Movie

WHAT?! Oh my god!
*Flees to Google*
Oh my god, she is! JOSS STONE?!
Oh that's it...that's just ended the last tiny shread of hope I had for the film! Joss Stone?!
 
Re: Eragon The Movie

i saw a poster for it. clothes look good. the actor, who im told is a teen playing a teen, looks REALLY old. i think if it wasn't based on this book, i might see it, just cos i like fantasy films. but out of princple i won't.
and im not that fussed :)
 
Re: Eragon The Movie

im gob-smacked. why the hell use Joss Stone, if you go by her music career her acting will be just as bad.

which one is jeremy irons, is it Brom??
 
Re: Eragon The Movie

500 page book, two to three hour movie, definitely some liberties with the script. Copyright date of 2003, definitely not a classic status. A second movie will be based on the performance of the first(at the box office). Bought the book a while back and will try to read it before the movie premiers.
 
Re: Eragon The Movie

so is brom irons????

another question why is Brom beardless, white-hairless and uncrouched back thingie in the film??

and i agree that Eragon looks like a prat in this film. lol
 
Re: Eragon The Movie

"They will follow wherever you want them to follow." Argh that line just makes me cringe. And why can't anyone act in these damn trailers?!
 
Re: Eragon The Movie

that's an actual line from the trailer/book? that's a VERy bad line. it doesn't even make much sense. i think it's saying, if you want them to follow, they will. whcih is a better sentence :)
 
Re: Eragon The Movie

Apple - Trailers - Eragon

my god the amount of stuff theve changed.

Arya helps E and S bury Brom. WTF

Durza rides a summit or other flying thing and attacks Saph, where did that come from.

and her egg is the size of a melon. A MELON god damn u
