    Wow, I never knew Jimmy from Downton Abbey was in Eragon. Goddamn, and Jeremy Irons and Djimon Hounsou? This movie was stacked and yet it failed so hard. Bad writing or what?

      From what I’ve gathered they essentially betrayed every single principle, lesson, and character development that the books explored beautifully.

      Think M Night’s “The Last Airbender” compared to the original Cartoon or Dragon Ball Evolution compared to the Anime.

        I try not to. But that clears it up for me, thanks.

      Stacked is right! I just looked up the cast, and it’s wild to see some of these names. I didn’t know John Malkovich was in it?? I didn’t pay any attention to this flick when it came out… I just heard it was ass and filed it under “Nah” in my head. Yeah, looks like the script was just unsalvageable.
