when i first hear that a movie be go to be make by the book eragon by christopher paolini and i must say i be very delighted and and i be even more delighted when i hear that stefen fangmeier will be the director . i have read the book and and thaught representwhat a great movie this be go to be . unfortunately and i be wrong . first of all and i would dare to say that half of the event that happen in the book weren not show in the movie at all ( reason represent lord of the ring have less then 400 page and the movie last around 3 hour while eragon have around 500 page and it last around hour and a half ) . a a result and instead of complexed and unpredictable fantasy plot you get simple and one way head fairy tale . character that play very significent role in book ( like murtagh and ajihad and angela ) be hardly even mention in the movie and so that it become center on pretty much only 3 character eragon and saphira and brom . villain and location lack imagination and so they look cheap and ordinary . choice of actor be and in my opinion and good and except edward speleers . there be way too much memorable quote in the movie and so that movie become kind of too much theatrical . everybody and from director to actor fail and but still and i personally bealive that the big failure be peter buchman and screenwriter . although he have a fantastic material to work on and he manage to ruin it and and make a pathetic screenplay from a fantastic bestseller . only bright side of the movie be always top of the class john malkovich ( king galbatorix ) and pretty solid performance by jeremy iron ( brom ) and but most of all dragon saphira ( voice by rachel weisz and whose vocal ability be on very desirable level ) .
