Book to movie inconsistencies that are genuinely annoying and unneeded
scarred:
All I have to say about Eragon is thusly:
When you name a species "Urgle," you don't deserve to live.

If the book hadn't been absolute ungodly tripe, inconsistencies between the book and movie might be a bit more egregious.

Man, it was essentially just an easy reading Foucault's Pendulum by Eco. I'm glad other people had problems with it.
NeverQuiteGoth:
Eragon isn't LotR-lite. Its more like bad star wars with dragons instead of spaceships. The books were mildly entertaining, I mean, I've read worse.
The movie, however, was ENTIRELY a shitstain on the world of cinema. I don't think there has ever been a worse adaptation. I have never walked out of a theater before Eragon and have never since, but it was just SO bad.
Kugai:
Paolini (sp?) read Anne McCaffrey's Pern series and said to himself 'I can do something like that.'
The results speak for themselves.
SirJuggles:
If anything... well the things that Eragon was ripped from were numerous. I think the best it can be summed up as is that it is visibly and unapologetically a product of Paolini's interests. It can't be denied that his influences are very visible, diverse though they may be. I personally enjoyed the books, but they are for the most part intended for a more mid-range audience. The film, as we have already established, was garbage. I would have walked out too if I hadn't been taking my mom and sister to see it at the time.
