ITT: Movies that are rightfully forgotten.
>>67790517
Fuck you for reminding me of this
>>67790517
What the fuck? They made an eragon movie? did they make movies for the other books too?
No, I fucking love the movie of Eragon, because it showed how fucking bad the book was
>>67790517
Batman V Superman
>>67791218
No
They shot themselves in the foot by making this and deleting a subplot that was part of the 2nd
>>67791218
>wanting more than one movie based on those books
Eragon books are shit, movie is shit get over it.
>>67791248
Eragon is shite but this doesn't make any sense.
>>67791335
It makes perfect sense. The story is so fucking awful, with such horrendous writing and logic, and this movie is a brilliant showcase in how the book failed completely at storytelling. It doesn't help that its a very shallow ripoff of A New Hope.

>fucked ending
The book's ending was plenty retarded, I didn't mind that the movie was even more cringeworthy. It makes it funnier in hindsight knowing it will never be continued.
>>67790517
These books were written by a 12 year old. I mean that literally, google it.
You are reading a book written by a 12 year old. You are watching a movie based on a book written by a 12 year old.
Rexamine your life.

Spawn.
What an abomination that was.
>>67791268
What was the subplot?
>>67791309
They really are they also are literally ripoffs of other franchises.
>>67791365
>Ripoff of A New Hope
this is excatly what my big brother said when we saw it. Wasnt the book written by a 16 year old? Could explain it
>>67791534
It was STARTED when he was 16, published at 20 or something like that. It was published by his family because it was so shit .
>>67790540
This. I read the book and this never saw the movie but I know it is shit. I just know it in my bones. Might watch it.
>>67791792
He still made money off it though. i bought all the books though i never bothered finishing the last one. Still don't want to either. But I bought it.
>The book series as a whole received mostly mixed to negative reviews by critics,
>The series has sold 33.5 million copies worldwide.
Proof that shit really does sell.

His cousin and the chick he liked ended up being a Big part of everything
>>67791488
Durza gives Eragon a cursed wound that makes Eragon a weepy and angsty disabled Dragon Rider.
sets up for book/movie two where Eragon travels to elf town and then is molested and trained by an old crippled elf Dragon Rider named oroborus or something who is in hiding from ben kingsley. While attending a furry elf convention a dragon ghost turns him into a half-elf human hybrid.
>>67791573
I watch this movie about 3-4 times a year. Its bretty good.
>>67791573
Is till remember it, was pretty good
I want to reread Eragon now.
There's something comfy about how utterly shit it is.
>It's like ordering a pizza. You ask for Canadian Bacon you end up with a German sausage.
>I'll show you collateral damage!
I feel like this movie really capped Schwarzenegger's descent into mediocre movies, and kind of signaled the end for action movies as they used to be.
>>67790517
>Sapheria is wounded in battle and crashes
>Eragon wakes up
>"Where's Sapheria?"
>Brom suddenly looks sullen
>"Sapheria... she... she's..."
>Saphira swoops in
>"She's perfectly fine, bro!"
Why would you do that? Why would you prank Eragon into thinking Sapheria died in battle? This movie is literally After Earth tier.
>>67790517
>$250 box office
The fuck? This movie sucked so bad, holy shit the guy who played eragon was awful. The only good thing about it was re-watching it with my sister to laugh at how terrible it was.

Ive had the biggest crush on Gemma ever since Hansel and Gretel
>>67792819
I enjoyed it, but it wasn't like his earlier work
>>67793172
I liked it myself. But I've always liked Schwarzenegger movies even when they're pretty bad.
>>67791451
Indeed. I would still like to see a good Spawn film, and I hate capeshit.
>>67792819
I've avoided this movie for a long time. Is it worth watching? Is it fun-bad like Eraser, or is it just boring?
>>67794115
I think it is markedly worse than Eraser. It tried to be relatively gritty. It's still fun though. I would recommend a watch.
>>67790517
>trilogy
>>67790517
Great books.
Terrible flick.
>>67791992
It's super easy to read, I remember being heavily into the first two books.
>>67790517
I'm still mad I paid money to see this shit.
>>67794115
It's an Arnold movie except instead of accepting itself as ridiculous as all his action movies implicitly do, this one tried the same setup except they tried to make it serious too.
Was the definitive end of action movies like they used to be and they still haven't returned.
>>67791380
>watch the movie
>later find out it's based on a comic
>read the comic
>it's nothing like the movie

>>67792085
All of that shit, PLUS they killed the Ra'zac at the beginning. It's been a while since I've read the books, but if I'm remembering correctly, Eragon's main motivation for the first book and at least part of the second is hunting them down, and they don't actually find them until the beginning of the third.
>>67790517
>Saphira just spontaneously grows into an adult size dragon and also suddenly develops full telepathic speech capabilities with Eragon -- also, Eragon doesn't even name her, she just flies down and is like "btw my name is Saphira"\
I mean, yeah looking back the story of the book was a shameless ripoff of Star Wars in Middle Earth, but the movie was some next-level horseshit.
>>67791451
Pure capekino, pleb.
>>67791573
only good video game movie
>>67790517
What was going through their minds when they made this movie?
Were they just scared of being sued for having dwarves and elves like in LOTR?
>>67796699
Eragon did rip off LOTR in many regards, so that was a fair concern.
>>67791573
this is actually good tho
>>67794788
>Saphira just spontaneously grows into an adult size dragon and also suddenly develops full telepathic speech capabilities with Eragon -- also, Eragon doesn't even name her, she just flies down and is like "btw my name is Saphira"\
yeah pretty much the worst movie moment of all time
excepting all of ender's game because fuck that piece of shit
>>67796822
Yeah it's well known that it's a ripoff combination of LOTR and Star Wars. The former in terms of the world, and the latter in terms of story.
>>67794788
I had not read the books when I saw this movie. I actually asked my friend who had if flying above the clouds to bask in the sun made her grow into an adult.
So poorly done.

As a fan of the Panzer Dragoon games I thought it was just standard dragon lore that they evolve like that
>>67790517
My friend was the real estate agent who sold the books author a ranch. Was given a signed set and some other stuff.
