[edit] Crew list
Is it necessary to list every single member of the crew? Or should we just list the main crewmembers? I doubt we'll ever get enough information to create decent pages for all of them. Just thought I'd bring this up and ask for suggestions/comments before I started weeding things out. « Amina . skywalker (¿Hábleme?) 15:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
I agree. We'll never be able to make good pages for every single one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Red Head Rider (Talk ▪ Contributions ▪ Logs).
[edit] Movie articles?
It is widely known that the movie will differ greatly from the book. You think that articles like 'Brom (movie)' will have to be created, or what? The differences will be added the 'Brom' article?

- I don't think that it will be necessary to create entirely different articles; hopefully the changes won't be that significant. (The LotR wiki, for example, gets by with just one article on Aragorn, though Peter Jackson's films took some liberties with the character). If the changes are drastic, I should think the books would take canon superiority (and we could just insert a subsection detailing the film's changes into the article).
- We dealt with this sort of problem on the Arya page (concerning her hair color); all I did was add short explanatory footnote. ← Amina (Speak to me) 02:51, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think we should go any farther then having a section in the the article explaining the diferaces. Red Head Rider 17:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Differences from book.
Three Ra' zac being killed in the movie? I remember seeing the two Ra' zac getting knocked out. Also in the book brom says that "Dragons only live as long as their riders.". We need some correcin here. DinoKeeper 00:05, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- The only rediculous thing I thought of in the movie was that Saphira had feathers for wings (like they almost never do), and John Malcovich's sappy acting. - Nikajo12/7/08
I have a few technicalities...
- ERAGON DOES NOT GET A SCAR IN THE MOVIE. That was the #1 change I noticed in the movie (although I still thought it was a great movie, just can't figure out how the sequel would work)
- Saphira technically doesn't name herself in the book, but she does have a part in what name she gets (she did, after all, refuse all the male names).
- Eragon and Murtagh do bear a resembalance in the book; they have the tell-tale "intense eyes" and brown hair. In the movie, they look totally different.
I didn't see the first one on the list, 3rd one was sort of a note on a plot point in Eldest, and the second one was just my view of a point on the list. 169.229.121.94 23:23, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, if you looked closely, you would notice that Eragon DOES get a scar across his back. Durza conjures up a sword, does a backflip over Eragon and as he does that he strikes him on the back. It happens to quickly for most people to notice. --Darth Darth 23:35, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
You all who haven't read the book may think this movie is great, but it really was all wrong! It had wrong places, wrong things...everything about it was wrong! The only thing I liked about it was Ed Speelers, but that's just me. I say we start a petition to get it remade! Jomomon 14:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
There are way too many if you aske me! Not saying anyone did, but... Just read the book, and you'll know. We need to get it remadeJomomon 14:24, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
I did read the book... I still thought the movie was cool.
But anyway, I have a question... how could the running time have been something criticized? Did people think they cut it too short for such a large(ish) book and so deleted too much? I'd also like a reference for it making a little girl cry. I REALIZE MANY PEOPLE DID NOT LIKE IT, and it was definitely not faithful to the book... both less-and-more ripped off from Star Wars, plot-wise... and we haven't gotten all the differences down. I'm just asking for references... and I'll add more differences. Du Shur'tugalar Freohr 06:17, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
P.S. Did anyone else think that the "Brom and Eragon galloping across the river" scene looked like a blatant rip-off of the Nazguls crossing the river in the Fellowship of the Ring movie? Could we politely comment on this under "homages" or something?
Hey, I am all for listing a good amount of key differences. Any article of a movie based on a book should have those. But isn't this list too much? Little things like Brom's beard and the like don't stand out compared to something like Saphira growing up in a few seconds. Just consider that. Also, perhaps the differences should be re-ordered with the movie's sequence of events.JesusFreakForReal 06:03, 2 December 2008 (UTC)JesusFreakForReal
I fo one noticed in the game AND the movie that the Urgals DID NOT HAVE HORNS! The fail to add these to the movie is extream, because of the importance in the history/religions of the Urgals. Second Aria has RED HAIR! Durza is suposed to have CRIMSON hair, NOT the elf!
[edit] Commentary
Stefen Fangmeier talks on the DVD and says some interesting things... he says he wanted something "a bit different" with the Urgals, and didn't have sparkles or lightning, etc. when Durza reached out his hand and flipped Arya over (right after the egg was teleported) because it had been done before in so many other movies. So, maybe a "Commentary" section could be included? Just wondering if it would be relevant or not... Du Shur'tugalar Freohr 07:40, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A NEW CASTING
Ok so i know this is heka random but since this movie was a distaster lets just pretend that you were a director for this movie! Who would you cast?
Me personally i would keep the cast except for Sienna Guilleroy(?) who played Arya and the guy that played Galabatorix! I would chose Kristen Kreuk to play Arya i mean she does meet the physical appearances of the book! But other than that i would keep the cast!
I liked Brom, but I think Liam Neeson could have done a better job. And Anyone, anyone (even Hayden Christanson) Could have been a better Eragon. --Martin the Loony
