And, of course, I am sure the holidays have been swell with the 20 new high-quality films that have debuted.
#Why was eragon the movie so bad series
But here’s hoping Disney hears our pleas for a show!! In a world where shows like GOT and The Witcher were well done (mostly), I know with the right people, this series can join that list. If you are a Hallmark movie lover, then I am sure you have loved the recent additions to Netflix. It’s definitely disappointing that this film was poorly made alongside the films for the Alex Rider, Cirque Du Freak, and Percy Jackson series. But it looks like everyone had fun! That’s gotta count for something.even if we didn’t. And don’t even get me started on John Malkovich as Galbatorix. While Roran was in the film, he was only there long enough to say whelp, I’m off to see the world. I will say I do think Ed Speelers and Jeremy Irons were well cast. The thing is, Eragon tried to fit the entire 528 book into one movie, and it did so with the heavy assumption that there would be sequels. Adapting a decently complex story well with a $100 million budget is possible, even in 2005/2006.Īnyways.I know I’m preaching to the choir.

And it really surprises me because the film was made after the first few Harry Potter and LOTR films were made. But because it eradicated the source material, it fails. John Malkovitch looked embarrassed to be in the movie, as did Jeremy Irons. No setup with Carvahall characters, Saphira growing in a second after flying for the first time, the Razac, Angela and no Solembum or Jeod, Farthen Dur, and the list goes on and on.Īs a generic fantasy adventure, the movie is fine. The kid cast as the lead is a terrible actor of Anikin Skywalker proportions. I can enjoy a (stand alone) campy B level action fantasy movie.but when it’s based on a series and the filmmakers decide to change SO MUCH of the story to convenience bringing it to the screen.you lose me. So much of the series identity is lost as a result. There’s very little setup so you’re not invested in the characters, story, or world. The main problem with the movie is that it moves sooooo fast. But once the plot starts moving along, it falls apart. NGL, the first 10-15 minutes are exciting. Well, fast forward 14 years, I decided to rewatch after rereading the series again (maybe my 6th time?). I remember not liking it (for obvious reasons) and have never had a reason to rewatch. Despite their misplaced priorities, some of the characters’ looks were just bad while others like Mufasa had a cold, stern look throughout the movie. For teens that think youth and obscurity are an impediment, Eragon is a. Some of the scenes that made everyone cry in the original movie like Mufasa’s death was easily overshadowed by the heavy graphics distracting the viewers from such critical moments. I saw the movie once when it first came out on DVD, so probably 2007 when I was 12. However, this fantasy tale is more than just a classic epic of good verses evil.
