- Why Eragon's Upcoming TV Show Can Do Better Than The Movie. Eragon's upcoming TV show on Disney+ can outperform the movie for several reasons, but chief among them is the involvement of Christopher Paolini.
- Eragon's Poor Script Made Story Changes Even Worse. Whenever a book is adapted for movies or television, there are always going to be some necessary changes to the source material.
- Fox Was Trying To Jump On The 2000s Fantasy Movie Bandwagon. Eragon was a victim of Fox's attempts to jump on the 2000s fantasy bandwagon. The genre was doing extremely well at the time, and Fox seemingly expected to throw a little bit of money at a fantasy series and make a quick bucket of cash without properly thinking the story through.
- Eragon's Budget Was Too Low To Do The Fictional World Justice. Eragon's budget was another reason for the film's poor performance. It had a seemingly healthy-sized budget of $100 million, but with such a grand fictional world to adapt, Eragon's budget still fell well short of what it needed to be.
A combination of a low budget, and the time constraints of a movie. Many details (ie. completely skipping Saphira's childhood) were lost to the fact that the movie was only 1.5 hrs long. In a book like Eragon, a lot of details simply have to be cut out to make it viable for conversion into film. And then the matter of corners cut to make the ...

- Will They Remake The Eragon Movie?
Let’s start with the lesser of the cinema sins — the movie poster. Look, there’s nothing inherently terrible about the poster. Is it a gorgeous work of art like the Interstellar poster — or even the Hunger Games posters? No. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be. But the problem was that this movie came out a year after ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet...
Remember the Ra’zac? They were Paolini’s brand of Nazgûl and they were creepy AF. Complete with long beaks poking out beneath their hoods, these baddies ate humans and hunted dragon riders throughout Alagaësia. But in the movie? Nah. Instead of the nightmarish and mysterious figures, we get two ninja mummies made up of cockroaches.
And the Ra’zac weren’t the only Eragon baddies that the filmmakers butchered. Paolini’s book is filled with orc-ish creatures called Urgals. You don’t mess with these dudes. They’re gross looking monsters with horns sticking out the tops of their heads. But in the movie? Bald guys with makeup.
King Galbatorix. This is the evil emperor of Paolini’s world. I always liked Paolini’s approach to Galbatorix. He doesn’t appear in the first book, you only ever hear about him. This adds a lot of mystery to his character and, in my opinion, really hypes up his reveal in the final book. But once again, the filmmakers crap all over that. No offense ...
Those are just some of the worst bits that stick out to me. The movie has a lot of other problems.To name a few more: all around bad acting, little emotion, the dragons are birds. The ending is wtf? If I have to praise anything in the film, it’s going to be the CGI. For 2006, the Saphira looks good — I’d even say she still holds up today.
At this point, an Eragon movie sequel is incredibly unlikely. The time for the studio to develop Eldest, the second book in the Inheritance Cycle, would have been in the immediate years after the first movie’s release. Unfortunately, the ‘Eldest’ movie didn’t just have poor reviews going against it. The filmmaker behind ‘Eragon,’ Stefan Fangmeier, ...
Many fans are still hoping for an Eragon movie or television remake,but it’s hard to imagine a studio picking up the Inheritance Cycle right now. The final book in the series had a lukewarm reception, and a lot of the hype behind the books seems to have died down. That still said, if it was ever going to happen, now would be the time. Shadowhunters...
Reply. awkwoodley. • 9 yr. ago. The movie was considered bad because it was a bad movie. The script was horrible, the actors were awkward, and the directing was lackluster. If you want to compare it to the book, the script failed to represent its uniqueness.
Eragon author on how series will differ from “not great” film adaptation. "The original film is not really a bad film. But where it fails is it's not a great adaptation." Christopher Paolini ...

I completely disagree, I actually think if you disassociate it from the books it becomes a worse film. It's shot incorrectly, the script is awful, the directing is woeful. It's only bearable if you're actually looking for the book connection. It was made by people who didn’t give two shits about the book.
