Eragon is a very long book, about 157,000 words, as stated by Paolini himself. This is fairly similar to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which has 198,227 words. Harry Potter was turned into a movie. The movie was well-received, true to the book, and a well-made movie. It was 4 hours, 46 minutes long, divided across two movies.

It's hardly a good sign that much of the back story must be narrated (by Irons) before the movie really begins.
