I get it and i agree. The first movie is not the best ever, but its certaintly FAR from the worst!
Yes they did dive far away from the book, even more so than Eragon, but still, this movie tried to stay loyal to the main plot of the book by giving it its own spin. There r things that WERE WAAAAY better in the book, but overall, i found the movie did well and i enjoyed it better! Making them older made perfect sense, and made it more unique, as i agree with Chris Columbus, i just can't see 11-12 year olds going off to war, let alone cross country alone. True, the plot needed to be better ,but in reality they DID film stuff with Ares (the trailer shows a turreted car/truck driving towards them at the diner). so hopefully Extended Edition/Additional Deleted scenes released sometime. and like i posted earlier, wouldn't it get boring if it was EXACTLY The same as the book? As memory serves, PS/SS & Cos were like the most loyal Hp movies to the book, and yet they were NOT labled as the best movies. CoS in particular being critised for being too long.
But stop complaining that they screwed up the series. Have you no creativity? Why i've thought of many ways they can fix it:
Just make the prophecy and older age, like 20-21 which makes more sense anyways, and fyi Kronos WILL be in the new movie, they've confirmed it in an interview. Plus Clarisse n other people of course, will be a MUCH stronger movie from the looks of it
Here r my ideas for Eldest movie, the sequel to Eragon:
- Just have the ambush be moved to the beginning like it is in the book and its THERE that Eragon gets a vision from the Cripple who is Whole! - The Dwarfs can be introduced at the beginning as being there but previously unseen - Angela can be introduced as going to the Varden, maybe summoned by Nasuada (sp?) to explain Eragon's vision and introduce Solumbaum - katerina, the twins and Evla WERE in the movie fyi, just on the deleted scenes. - The whole Dragon growing thing can be a plot mechanism to make the dragons age faster because they are born into the world with a Patricier intact like we all are which would acutally be really kool! - There can be a struggle of Murtagh fighting his betrayl of the varden and great power, etc. See? i dunno bout you guys, but i would LOVE to c this version of Eldest that I just thought up, if i can think of it why not you?
SPOILERS if you haven't ceen DH Part 2 yet! I mean i thought up a way to fix up the memories in HBP, in DH with Harry being able to hear them throw being a horcrux made perfect sense and was even better than in the book! In other words, I made bit of a prediction that they were gonna do something like that, seriously! As well, I thought up my own explanation as to why the Pensive looked so different and even scarier it ACTUALLY came true! The pensive in HBP just being a lid as shown when Harry lifts it out when he goes to watch Snape's memories in DH2!
Who knows? your creativity may match up with what the film makers r thinking? Use ur common sense! We can't have rules for everything! to quote ANOTHER book adaptation, "you sometimes gotta fill in the rest of the holes yourself"
i know i'm posting a lot on Percy but i just want it to do well. And I seriously think creativity is lacking why take a look at a post i encountered on youtube today:
