Eragon = bad
Dec. 26th, 2006 05:49 pmThere are NO movies coming out that I want to see, but my brother and I were bored so we went to see Eragon.
I didn't have very high expectations, since the book wasn't great. But the movie is even worse of the book. Imagine:
1 cup Lord of the Rings
1 cup Star wars
a dash of dragons
add fantasy clichés to taste
And you have Eragon. Helpful animal companion! Magic sword! Special chosen one! A prophecy! A kindly old mentor (with a long, drawn out death scene)! A badly trained boy beating an all-powerful bad guy! Good guys who seem to die but don't! A love interest (as predicted in the prophecy) who's an elf! Good guys winning the battle even though they're horribly out numbered! The protagonist's tragic past!
I could go on. But I won't. Instead I'll upload some of my favorite songs (read: randomly picked because I like them) for a belated Christmas present to all of you. (If I can figure out how).
Under your Spell
Shoop Shoop Song
Lullaby for a stormy night
Ok, I hope this works, and the links lead to the right songs. If not, sorry all. But technology isn't my strong suit. That's why I'm only doing three- In case it doesn't work.
