Eragon Movie's

¡Hola! Mi amigos.
Today, I want to talk about Eragon the movie and why there won't or should not be anymore movies. Eragon the movie had so many plot holes.
To start:

1. There were no Dwarves. What the f***? They are a major race and ultimately it can't go on because Eragon needed them.
2. Eragon doesn't get the scar on his back from Durza. So what will Eragon be struggling with in Eldest? And the Blood Festival has no real meaning if Eragon doesn't get the cut.
3. Katrina wasn't even in the movie. That is huge right there because Roran revolves around her and Eragon revolves around him and the movie revolves around him. Ha ha might be hard for you to understand that.
4. Murtagh wasn't even captured by the twins, who weren't even in there, so who will Eragon fight at the end of Eldest?

That is just a few reasons why Eragon can not go on as movie unless they redo the first one which I am hoping they will. Eragon was a good movie in a sense but what I am getting at is they didn't leave any room for the sequel and those others that follow. They should have waited a good while before trying to make some money off the book and gave the viewers and fans a exceptional movie.
All in all, it could have been much better.
No me gusta Eragon movie!

Eragon Characters. . .

Well as I promised or said, more Eragon content and this is something I have been eager to write, but I was very busy with Harry Potter Greatest Moments Part 1, 2, and 3. I am going to breakdown my 3 favorite characters and explain why they are my favorite characters and give you more info on them.

Eragon: Eragon is my favorite character for more obvious reasons. He is the stories protagonist and has an heroic air about him. But that is not entirely it about him. The thing that makes him my favorite character and such a powerful figure is what he was and what he has come to be. In the first book of the series titled "Eragon". He was just a farm boy in the very beginning and his only worries were helping his uncle and cousin and keeping himself feed. Eragon led a normal life and was content with it, though he loved stories Brom told about the Riders of the old times. And then all of a sudden a he finds a egg. That egg changed his life, for that egg held his destiny and lineage. When I read to this point I was hooked. Throughout the story Eragon holds true to his self and learns very fast, about the ways of a world he never dreamed existed.

Roran: This guy! Roran is a rough guy who cares for his people, his cousin Eragon, and beloved wife Katrina. Roran didn't play a major part in the first book, but in the next books he starts to grow. Roran is a man with power and quick wit. Roran starts fighting to protect his homeland, but as the fighting continues and he must escape with all the villagers, he experiences a change. He starts to like war in a way though he is opposed to killing. This eternal battle is the main reason why I like him. He is gentle and kind on the inside, though that doesn't come across much, and he is rough and tough on the outside. What also makes Roran such a spectacular character is the fact that he is a normal human in Eragon's world and doesn't have half the power they have, but all the same he fights as hard. He even acquired the nickname Stronghammer because of his signature weapon and the strength at which he brings it down on his foes. Roran is normal, but can fight as if he was a god when the times counts itself convenient.

Murtagh: WHAT?!?! I bet this is the reaction I just got. Ha ha. Yes, I stick by my choice. Murtagh is one of my favorite characters. Despite popular belief Murtagh is not evil at all. He is being forced to be what he is even if he isn't exactly against it. Murtagh is a powerful character who is on the brink of self destruction because of Galbatorix. He has lost hope and has turned to his hatred, but he isn't truly lost in his heart. When Eragon told him he could change who his "name" and break free from Galbatorix he is hopeful and is ready to do it, but then is reminded on why it probably will fail and all hope leaves his mind. He is a complex character who is struggling to be good when it is obvious that option has been taking off the table long ago. But he is trying all the same. For example, he saved Eragon's life after their first official battle which did great harm to him. Murtagh is a very important character and throughout the rest of the series I hope to see him play a big role and ultimately change and break away from Galbatorix all together.

Well this concludes my post, but make sure you comment below:

1. Your top favorite character.
2. Your second favorite character.
3. Your the third favorite character.

A book like harry Potter, Eragon, or Twilight?

Here is a question I usually ask when searching google or yahoo for a book that I want to go out and buy: Is it similar to Harry Potter, Twilight, or Eragon?

I know that most of you feel like this when you want a book to read and know in your heart if it is not as interesting as the top 3 books HP, Twilight, and Eragon you won't want to read it.
So here are my choices of books that keep you interested and these books, I hope, will end your search for the next BIG book for you.

Here is a list and links:

1. The Night Angel Trilogy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Angel_Trilogy
   
2. The Kingkiller Chronicle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingkiller_Chronicle
3. The Arthur Trilogy http://www.amazon.com/King-Middle-March-Arthur-Trilogy/dp/0439266017

I choose these books out of a few because they are often overlooked even though they are really good books. The Night Angel Trilogy is about a orphan who is living in a city's worst part of town where guild leaders, guild rats, and The Sa'kage run rampant. This book is for a more mature audience because of its graphic words and such. I am 16 but I read it because I felt I could handle it.
The Kingkiller Chronicle is a very, very good book and in some case can rival if not top Harry Potter with its magic use and elements. It is about a boy who's family, which was a performing family, was murdered and he is determined to find out why. It is very well written and highlights his growth. I highly recommend you read this, and it is not a graphic book though in some manner suggestive, but not a lot seeing as the main character doesn't even understand girls. Ha ha.

Well this is it and I hope you will at least check these out and read a little sample of each.
Also, you can expect posts from me from Mon-Fri 4pm and later
Sat-Sun anytime during the day.
I will post at least 2-3 times a day hopefully.
Ciao!!

Book to Movie

Hello, fellow vampires and wizards. Ha ha.
Today I felt I should share my opinion of the movies. To start the only reason why I put Harry Potter and Twilight movies is because we all know the Eragon 1 film was an epic fail. So let's begin.

Harry Potter 1-6 movies held true to the series in a sense. The movies were a good mirror of the books because I felt the actors developed with the characters in the story in just the way they should. Another good thing is the storyline followed the books with not a lot of tweaking, even though when they did tweak it, it was a part I wanted to see. Which sucked. The films, also provide those who can't truly visualize the characters with a little visualization. In other terms it puts a face to a name. But there is some fun with visualizing what they look like in your head and then see how other people visualized them in the movie. For example, I thought of Fernir different than what they showed me. Guess they showed me. No pun intended, though it was kind of intended.
Now for the Twilight movie(s). As of right now there is only one with another right down the street. The Twilight movie is very good. I really liked it, because it has a certain feel to it. Hard to explain. But, with Twilight they were almost exactly how I pictured them. One thing that sets Twilight apart from the way Harry Potter flowed with its books to films are I could actually recommend Twilight the movie and not the book at all. Though I do not recommend this. It takes away from you. Also, Twilight movies have a stellar actor playing lead. Not saying Harry Potter doesn't but Kirsten Stewart has the role locked. She is so convincing and Robert Pattinson isn't to shabby either. Twilight also incorperates the mood of Twilight into the film. That is usually hard for films to do. Also New Moon is going to be awesome. This film looks spectacular from trailers I have seen. They have a great cast, and the fighting looks amazing. New Moon is sure to be a hit.


So that is my two cent, but as always I want to hear what you think.

Age old Debate. . . Or maybe just a 21st century one.

So which is better Harry Potter, Eragon, or Twilight?
This is a tough one so let's analyze this.
First, you have Harry Potter, the boy who lived. Harry's life is very interesting and also full of excitement. In mere hours he went from being an unwanted orphan to a wizard celebrity. Talk about rags to riches, literally, he was poor and then found out he had a vault full of gold. But let's not forget his trusty friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, who have been with him since his first day of school. Harry Potter is a series that highlights growth, destinies entwined, and the cliche Dark vs Light, although this series is anything but cliche.
Next, on to the Twilight series. Vampires, Vampires, Vampires. It seems the whole world has been over run with this mania of vampires and Twilight has a little, if not a lot, to do with it. The Twilight series is a story of human and vampire love, with a werewolf as a distraction. Bella and Edward should not be together, but they are a bit hard of hearing, even with Edwards keen ears. They are opposite and Bella runs the risk of being Edwards "snack" anytime. But that's what makes this story so enticing. The daring of those two and their struggle to make an unlikely relationship work. Note, Vampires are a win-win no matter what. They are the king of cool in mythical realms.
Finally, Eragon the Dragon-Rider. Eragon is the story of a farm boy turned Dragon-Rider and the hope of his world. Sounds good huh? Yeah, it supposed to. This book is so rich with description and magic it is hard to describe. Think of that, you can't describe something with so much description. Eragon is set a world where a Ex-Dragon-Rider is a monarch, who has had free reign over them for about 40+ years. Then Eragon comes and challenges all of that. The series, which is unfinished, has something a lot of books do not have. The sense that it is a real world. Alagaësia is full of different races, languages, alliances, and beast. This gives it more credibility when you're reading it. It seems like it is real, and that's what I look for, even in fictional books.

So which is better? Which author deserves more credit?
Honestly I can only answer for myself. But I am very interested in hearing what you have to say.
So post comments and tell me what you think.
