Negative Positive
Title: If you have read the book....
Review: do NOT watch the movie. I love the books but avoided the movie due to bad reviews. However, I hoped that maybe it was just a case of "it's not EXACTLY like the books" (like people who complain about the Harry Potter series). At first I was going with some of the changes since there is no way they could fit all of the detail into a 2 hour movie. By the end, however, I was mortified. I have never seen a book that badly mangled by a movie. I am surprised that the author allowed it since the movie changed the ending so badly that Eragon's character itself is changed. Dissapointing (although, if you have no intention of ever reading the books, then you may enjoy the movie as is, which is why I gave it 2 stars rather than the 1 it deserves).
Is the review positive or negative?
