I love the book. really love the book. I hate the movie. Simple as that. They need to remake it and name it "Eragon: We're Sorry About the First One".
I can understand the need to cut parts of the book to make the story fit into the movie. I can understand the need to change parts of the story to fit it into the movie. I can understand that money can limit what can and can't be done. *hint*: Urgal horns can't be that expensive. What I can't understand is why they felt it was needed to remove most of the book and change what was left.
They removed whole races who are important to the storyline. They removed the Urgals' horns. They removed the pointy Elvish ears. They removed Katrina. There was no were-cat. Arya was totally out of character. In the interest of making sure that we could actually tell the movie was based on the book, they threw in most of the major characters for a grand five seconds each. Sadly they were given crud-tastic dialogue and in my opinion, made into jokes.
After I realized the movie wasn't going to be what I'd hoped for, I tried looking at it from the eyes of someone who hadn't read the book. All I saw was a jolting, dismembered story that didn't flow, didn't explain itself. There's Ajihad.. quick everyone.. wave. There he goes.
I was actually quite mad when I left the theater. I felt cheated. I would pay $20 for a ticket to go see the real movie. The one that was supposed to be playing. Heck, the story was worth two movie's worth of time. Split it, make two movies, release them within six months of each other or less. Rake in the bucks. I want my money back for this travesty.

This film is a semi-autobiographical account of a period of time in Martin Cummins' (director/actor) life after his mother died. He's done a spectacular job of bringing this story to life in his first film.
A dark and violent movie, it follows Michael (played by Belsher, based on Cummins), in west Vancouver B.C., as he gets into drug use to escape his problems. His friend Kris (Cummins) encourages him in the drug use so he has some company. Kris has a girlfriend, Ryan, who finds the drugs a bit much to handle and ends up having to choose between the two friends. The ending was a total surprise and worth driving 6 hours to see.
All the actors did a great job of making the characters real and believable. I especially enjoyed Cummins dark/angry/violent portrayal of a man who is losing control of things.
A good portion of the cast was made up of actors Cummins had worked with on the television series 'Poltergeist: the Legacy' and previous Canadian t.v. shows. The part of Sherry the prostitute was written for Helen Shaver. She was hilarious! In an interview I saw before the film she said that she gets to let everything hang out. Boy did she! A side I had never seen and I'm not sure I want to see again. :)
If you get a chance to see 'We All Fall Down', please do!
