Title: Disappointment
Review: If one hasn't read the books, this movie is a nice stand-alone. Great scenery and good acting. Had it not been associated with Eragon the book, I would have thought differently about the movie. However, Eragon the movie sadly disappoints when a faithful reader compares it to the way the Harry Potter movies and Lord of the Ring movies clung to the essences and details of their relative book series. Eragon the movie is beautiful but holds practically none of the feeling of the books and, worse, doesn't even really correspond to the story line or the characters and their developing relationships. The details of the movie just don't match up with the books. I can hardly wait to read the final book in the series, but I really regret having wasted my time and expectations on the movie.
