Title: And this enhances the book, how?
Review: I bought the DVD, intending to play it on my laptop. What a mistake.The sound is either DTS, DD, Spanish, or French. No stereo. If you like echoes, they are there.To the director, when you read the book (you did read it, didn't you?}, the information is presented in a logical order, building credability as the story progresses. NOT as you did it: showing a brief history at the beginning of the movie in an effort to fill in the backstory. This just made the move moot.Where is the continuity? Where is the wonder? Are those manniquins really dwarves? I thought elves had pointed ears (like Mr. Spock, you friggin' idiot!). Where is the bonding between Brom and Eragon? Why does Saphira grow to adulthood in a few seconds? How improbable is that? Is this your first film? If so, quit now. As a director you lost the entire story.My advice? Read the books. DON'T buy the DVD. Especially if you don't have a home theater.I'm sorry I did.
Is the review positive or negative?
