Eragon, but any film based on a book so poor is going to be appalling.
I liked that movie... until I read the book, which
I actually liked; and it made me furious at how much amazing imagery, set pieces and characters had been left out. In light of that, I can understand how the movie could be criticized, but I never understand why the books are so often lambasted.
I mean, for god's sake! There's a talking dragon in it!
Read the sequel and/or watched Star Wars? "Eragon, I am your brother".
That's not the only thing he stole as well.
TBH the book's writing style isn't that bad, just full of purple prose. It kept me amused for an hour or so, anyway, until I went back and reread it and realised just how much Paolini had stolen. Plus, he's allergic to the word said.
