I never read the whole book, just skimmed, and I could even notice this had nothing on it! I will admit I enjoyed the cast, effects, location, set design, costumes (except for the guy in jeans who I have to see sometime), and the music. It's just the story itself is only like 20% accurate and the dialouge SUCKS. I didn't hate it, but nerds did.

Actually nerds hated it! I only skimmed through the book to get to the battles and all that stuff, but even I got the idea that this was nothing compared to it! I did enjoy the cast, effects, location choice, costumes (besides the jeans guy), and the music, but the story itself along with the dialouge just sucked! I didn't hate it, but it wasn't as good as the parts of the book that I read. The battle was waaaaaaaaaay to short and the killed off those Ra'zac dudes! Still since this wasn't well received by critics I'm not sure they'd make a sequel.

Actually nerds HATED this movie! I only skimmed to the battles n stuff, and I could see reading the book that that was more like a movie script than whatever this was. I enjoyed the cast, effects, location, costumes, and music, but the story itself was from what I read ruined. It's a Matinee for people who havn't read the book, but absolutely nothing to fans. I thought it was okay at some points, but I wanted a bigger battle and I got ticked that they killed the Razac dudes off. But since critics mostly hated the movie I'm not sure if they'd make a sequel.

A family of nerds DEFINITELY won't like this solely because they will have probably read the book. This is soooo loosely based on the book. I hadn't even read it yet and I was pissed...

This film is an insult to the books. They have made it into LOTR lite! Also, they completly changed the end of the film, so if they attempt Eldest, it won't make any sense. And I now sound like an over-protective fan, which I'm not,

I didn't particularly like this because I read the books. What really pissed me off was some little things...Arya not having pointed ears like a damn elf should, and Saphira's wings being feathered! Wtf was up with that??? She has DRAGON wings goddammit! (Bat like) Just no...I would've liked it if the book never existed. Kudos to hot guys though (Ed Speelers and Garret Hedlund)

Terrible terrible movie. You've got piss poor action sequences, suicidal boy that only survives simply because hes extremely lucky, a stuck up dragon that needs to get laid and STFU, an overconfident king that talks tough but does nothing, an overconfident wizard that gets pwned by the stupid kid with no fighting experience, I could go on(You get the point?). The movie starts terribly, plays terribly, ends terribly. I don't see how this could even qualify as a "family" or "kid" movie, for gods sake, buy your kids Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter instead. Although I don't like them either, they a least have interesting stories and sequences, unlike this degraded rip off of LoTr. This movie is so bad it makes those look good, seriously. Take it that way. Save yourself 2hours and DONT WATCH THIS MOVIE.

I am glad I saw this as a rental and my friend rented it so I didnt and wouldnt pay to see this. Yes dollar store version of Lord Of the Rings. If they do make a sequel to this, as the ending of the movie suggests. I hope in to many ways they make it better. Maybe they could throw in that hot chick that play in the scorpion king LOL.

Lol, they really let people wear jeans in the movie? I do not remember this movie even being in theatres, maybe it was one of those 'blink and you miss it' movies or maybe it is due to the fact that I'm from a small town. Either way I do agree that it sounds like a rip off of "Lord of the Rings".

is that a joke or are you being serious? there was really a guy wearing jeans in this flick?

Ok, so after reading a bit about this book series, I have to say how the fuck did this kid get his book published? I'll tell you how - his parents own a publishing company. This kid who clearly had good taste in fantasy authors holed up in his room for the first 17 years of his life, then decided to write a piece of fanfiction, melding together other people's ideas and barely changing half his names from those seen in Lord of the Rings. Fanfiction, the stuff that people post on internet sites, suddenly became a book. The writing isn't so bad, especially for a teenager, but what he should have done was make up his own freaking story.

Low rent lord of the rings? NO WAY. THIS MOVIE IS STAR WARS! NO really think about it. You've got the evil empire, and the last of a race of magical warriors is a kid who lives on a farm with his uncle, who is killed by said empire while looking for whatever and then an obi wan kenobi kind of guy comes a long and trains him... oh and he dies and then a han solo like kid who you don't know if you can trust or not shows up... there's a princess and a rebellion... there's the emperor who runs the place, who's an old man, but it's his dark warrior who has the same powers as the kid who's the real threat, and this movie SUCKS this kid watched star wars and lord of the rings and flipped around.. seriously.

I didn't really like this movie one bit, I thought Jeremy Irons was the only good actor in this and you're right, he is too good for this movie
