Title: Nothing like the book
Review: Although this movie is based loosely on the book, the hour and a half it runs for gives no time to explore all of the nuances of the book's extraordinary adventure. I loved the book, which was well written and thought out, but the movie has basically butchered Christopher Paolini's great fantasy novel.To do a movie like this, the time frame needs to be similar to Lord of the Rings. Another hour or so, and this could have been a good movie. The only reason I gave this two stars is for the dragon and Jeremy Irons.Rent if you still want to see it, don't buy!
