Eragon... oh man. My 12 year old brother and I went on a "date" to see it because we read the books together. It was awful! Like they took the basic concept of dragon riders and the name Eragon and completely made up their own story.
GodofGrunts:
no kidding I ran out of the movie theater after Eragon (I previewed it before it hit theaters) and proceeded to yell at my manager (I work at a movie theater) and told him that if he put that movie in a big theater I was going to quit. He agreed and we put it into the smallest theater we have.
Dimmukane:
new hates: Eragon, and Bridge to Terabithia. I really don't give a rats ass about how good or bad the other ones were. All I know is they took a perfectly decent children's novel, and either threw in a whole bunch of fantasy creatures that never were in the book and made that the focus of the movie (BtT), or stuck an unknown actor in with a decent cast, butchered the plot, and basically made the unknown (whose name I still do not know) into another Hayden Christiansen (Eragon).
ampersandwitch:
Ah, Eragon was an awful awful book. The movie just happened to be laughably awful-er.
Cartilage Head:
Love- The Green Mile, Fight Club, Of Mice and Men (1991), A Clockwork Orange.
I haven't seen any other movies adapted from books I had read first.
