prof that make a visual effect maker a director of a movie be a mistake . not one single scene contain any of the component the book actually use to make a good story . the story line suffer immensely from it . if you take the book and and flip thru it and take a sentence on each 3rd or 4th page and and visualize that . then you take each of the parallel story and the hidden hint and association and and you boil it down to one sentence and reveal them in each scene and and then you have this movie . not one of the story have survive and not one of the twist be reveal in a proper manner in the movie . it ok to cut part of a story out to make a visual presentation and but this movie cut out the plot it self . how they can make a followup of this piece of beep ( something than usually smell really really bad ) be beyond me and they remove all the plot twist that allow eragon to make room for the eldest . i will not ruin the eldest by see the movie ( if ever one be make ) and unless off course and they manage to get some promising director to direct it . and then and i doubt i will pay money to see it in the theater . shame on the script writer . i have never see a book be so awfully ruin in a movie .
