Eragon

Yeah, Black people being like Elves... kind of cute... interesting... 😁 I like it!
But the lead actor, what was his name again, hmm...?? 🤣 It doesn't really matter, he's good enough 😍

To be perfectly honest, the movie was a total dud. It just didn't work. The book is certainly better, though let’s be realistic—it isn't exactly a literary masterpiece either. ☕

Then you should have typed Eldest. (Not Elden)

I didn't even realize there was a sequel that had been filmed.

It was actually much easier to reply to your post; I knew she was in the wrong. 🙂

Has it even been filmed? I haven't the slightest clue. Honestly, after the absolute disaster that was the first one, I have zero desire to sit through a sequel.

Why is it so much easier to answer?🤔

I actually thought Eragon was pretty decent. To be honest, the special effects were solid, and the story held up well enough for me.
Of course, it's me.🙂)

Well, the Quote button was just closer to reach—I didn't have to scroll all the way up. 😛

The story is much better in the book; here, the acting felt like a total disaster to me. The special effects were decent, though—that Dragoness is wonderful. 😁

Perhaps it’s simply because, after experiencing those incredible Lord of the Rings adaptations, I was expecting something much more substantial. 🤷

Ugh🤣...that's a pretty weak excuse for quoting someone.😁😉
(😍)

The Dragoness is great because she's played by Rachel Weisz🤣 and the effects are solid (like that shadow dragon).

And honestly, Eragon just can't be compared to LOTR.🙂

Well, at least it's true. 😁

Ahhh, Rachel Weisz's voice was absolutely perfect for the Dragoness.

No, but that wasn't quite my point. I am merely saddened that studios have realized Fantasy is a gold mine because it drags hordes of children into theaters, leading them to believe that quality is no longer a priority. I had genuinely hoped things might shift after the magnificent Lord of the Rings adaptations, but clearly, I was mistaken.

Seriously?🤣 Hmm... I've got a bad feeling about this.😁

Her voice was absolutely perfect for her role. Honestly, I'm still bummed she wasn't in The Mummy 3.😢 She's good, in every sense of the word.🤣

Unfortunately, that's just the truth.

Anyone heard anything about filming a potential sequel 🤷
