Star Wars at it's core storytelling is a rip off but if that's what you mean the story is very basic.

this was actually a good movie, I really enjoyed it.

Not sort of, it was like 1:1

That makes no sense because Brom wasn't a villain but Vader is. It is by default 0.99 to 1 or better against.

From what I vaguely remember it does the Vader twist of "my thought to be dead dad is actually the Emperor's number two" which I guess is fairly generic at this point but I believe there was more

Ah the post-Potter children's/teen fantasy novel adaptation craze. Every young fantasy series out there for the previous 40 years got options thrown at it. Only the first Narnia broke out and even that fizzled out.

This one might have been the nadir. First off, adapting a series from the 60s to 70s so hardly a current fanbase (and few series are remembered like LOTR and Narnia), and then of course, despite the likely small remaining fanbase being key, utterly shredding the source material until it was unrecognizable.

>The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising is very loosely based on the second book in Susan Cooper's series The Dark Is Rising Sequence, titled The Dark Is Rising. Walden Media hired screenwriter John Hodge in October 2005 to adapt the story for the big screen. The mythology of Cooper's book was considered to be the plot, and Hodge was tasked to interpret the book into events that could be portrayed in a film. The story, which took place in the 1960s and 1970s in the book, was rewritten to be contemporary. Hodge rewrote the protagonist Will Stanton, portrayed by Alexander Ludwig, to be 14 instead of 11. Stanton was also written to be American so he would be established as more of an outsider, culturally alien to the story's English setting. Hodge also wrote new subplots for Ludwig's character in the film, including sibling conflicts, a crush on a young woman (Amelia Warner), and alienation at school. The script also features the inclusion of many action sequences. Susan Cooper was reportedly not happy with the adaptation of her book.

The really dumb part to me being that Harry Potter was overall a faithful adaptation of the book without these sweeping mass market changes like making Harry American or something.

Yes, after being rejected because there were more pressing matters then the conflict ended and she felt like she wanted to give it a try but he went full incel, said no way fag and left with his dragon. I bet he felt great knowing that that same night she would be railed by someone else while he's crying to sleep, truly a proto eren jaeger

Oh and I probably should have included the punchline

>The Seeker was released in the United States and Canada on October 5, 2007. The film grossed $3,745,315 in 3,141 theaters in its opening weekend, ranking No. 5 at the box office in the United States and Canada. The Seeker had one of the poorest starts for a fantasy film. Box Office Prophets questioned why the film was opened in so many venues, with the cost for prints in 3,141 theaters exceeding its opening weekend gross.[14] As of 2019, The Seeker has grossed $8.8 million, in the United States and Canada and $22.6 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $31.4 million. The Seeker had the second worst debut of all time for a film released in more than 3,000 theaters, placing behind Walden's 2006 comedy-adventure film Hoot. The Seeker then lost the most theaters in its third weekend, ahead of Hoot. (Most wide releases are contractually obliged to stay at a particular screen for two weeks and can be dropped by a theatre only at the beginning of the third week.)

>Hodge rewrote the protagonist Will Stanton, portrayed by Alexander Ludwig, to be 14 instead of 11. Stanton was also written to be American
Yes this will make our movie stand out.

Like I said Star Wars nicks a lot of old tropes and that one is very old
The very fact Eragon is fantasy means it's going to retread on a lot of themes just because they're ingrained in that genre. Doesn't excuse them for executing them so terribly either.

That is literally as voluntary as it gets. Incel is a fantastic insult that is quickly being ruined by the IQ-disadvantaged.

>Ah the post-Potter children's/teen fantasy novel adaptation craze. Every young fantasy series out there for the previous 40 years got options thrown at it. Only the first Narnia broke out and even that fizzled out.
Those movies stuck around is low to mid budget movies. Just annual fair because like you said so many got picked up and studios were so stubborn they thought they could hit gold sooner or later.
Then Hunger games came along and instead of the male protag with being exposed to a magical world we got female protags in post-apocalyptic society using girl power to squash government authority

>Harry is literally an 11 year old English kid in the first Potter film

Hated the books and was still disappointed by the movie

Explain the zoomer dog meme to me.

Why did they pick someone so ugly to be the elf?

The only good thing about it was shirtless Ed Speleers

Why did all these adaptations completely change all their source materials? Harry Potter was quite faithful overall, changes were generally very minor.

It was more like a mgtow, deluded that he doesn't want her and leaves, he's such an unlikeable gary stu and very immature that he can't let go past rejections so his ego tells him to reject her under the pretext of a higher self imposed duty, that speaks more about the mental state of the author for shitting on the main ship

>Read the first one in middle school
>Whoa this was cool
>Start reading second one
>Fuck when does the good shit start
>Friend insists trust me man it will I promise
>Movie announced
>Went to summer camp and forgot my book so didn't get to try and read the second one as much as I wanted to
>Get back home still stuck in dwarf city or whatever boring shit in the book
>Ma takes me to see movie
>Never wanna look at those books ever again
Was this actor ever in anything else or did this ruin his career?

>Eragon got a shit movie
>His Dark Materials got a movie and a show
>Still no Bartimaeus content
true pain

she rejected him for 4 books straight, why would you want her after that?

There's something really funny about Narnia getting a failed film franchise because of execs chasing the Harry Potter/LotR money then getting an obviously doomed netflix series 10 years later because of execs chasing GoT money
Look forward to the Narnia video game that will come out in the 2030's when execs are chasing Elder Scrolls VI money I guess

The first Narnia was actually a huge success. The second one did fine but the budget got so massively bloated that it actually lost money and Disney dumped it. Fox picked it up for a third movie which did average.

what a simp. Should have gone for that Nasuda pussy before she fell for the Sasuke trope with Murtagh

it's realistic? If a chick rejects you for years and then after you win a war for her she says "maybe we have a chance" then why tf would you spring for it?

Saw this in class in elementary school. Dont remember it being that bad.

Because a quality woman does that, she doesn't say "yes" right away. She says, "no" to a man, for years - like 10 years!

i wanted to see him raise the dragon from a baby to a big dragon but the movie decided to literally have the dragon take its first flight and grow into an adult in a flash of light and say "hello i can talk now thank you for raising my egg"

i wanted cute dragon antics

i know faggots who believe this shit and they're always incels with huge madonna/whore complexes

>we need a dark action movie action franchise
>yes sir, fast John fucking Malkovitch as the main villain

My fucking nigga

When I read it when I was a kid, I thought Nathaniel was supposed to be the good guy since a lot of it is told from his POV, maybe the first book he was, but reading it when I'm older, Nathanial is a fag and Kitty was always the hero.

>tfw they make bartimaeus trilogy films
>tfw they cast Willem Dafoe as the afrit possessing gladstone's bones

Perfection

You my dude, you get me. And I get you. We get each other.

its almost as if it was written by 15 year old. Oh wait it was. He is self inserting so damn hard in the last book and its massively distracting. The other books were fine in that regard but he really jumped the shark in the end

Rejecting her would have been a good idea had the author took the naruto route and found another girl to be with eragon at the end, then it would feel earned. The way he did it, didn't show him growing out of the rejection and feels like he's throwing a tantrum

He's been in other things

makes me think why they didn't make artemis fowl back then

>Throwing a tantrum
I think bitches love it when someone makes a scene or gets riled up over them. I've seen so many cunts and even dated a few who intentionally start drama and once their man gets genuinely angry the women start biting their lip and not to hold their tongue but because they get aroused from it.

I think the realized it wasn't going to work when they changed a lot of shit around because a lot of it basically plagiarized Lord of the Rings.
But hey, when your dad owns a publishing company, or has connections to them, your trash can get made into a book easily.

Studios sit on the rights forever before they ever do anything with them or if they ever do anything with them at all.
>Originally intended to be launched as a franchise by Miramax in 2001, the film languished in development hell with several writers and directors attached until Walt Disney Pictures revived the project in 2013. Branagh was hired in 2015 and filming began in 2018.

Palosi never had intimate contact with a women so he literally cannot fill in the blanks for an actual romance, simple as

He has literal autism too, right?

Literally wouldn't have given a fuck about elf lady if it wasn't Sienna

I liked the videogame

Damm shame, story was pretty kino.
Especially the way they try to describe a post nuke island caused by a magic spell with their medieval mindsets
>you will never see magic S.T.A.L.K.E.R. mutants in cinema
Why even live

Never heard that

>tfw no cherubkino

I can't believe iBoy got a film but not this. It's also better than any of the shit Malorie Blackman wrote

I was persuaded to read Eragon when I was 17. I couldn't make it beyond a few chapters because of how terribly it was written, I couldn't fathom how anyone had enjoyed the book. It was painfully apparent that the author was a teenager.

never saw this shit. i read the book but it was ages ago i barely remember what happens in it. why was it so hated?

>17

That's already too old to be able to enjoy it, I read it when I was like 12, the older you get, the shittier it is

I cringed at how boring those look.
