I read the books when I was little and never knew they had been made into a TV series until this year so I had some major catching up to do! I can't really remember too much of the books just the basic bits which is probably a good thing.

I found this show totally addictive. The characters were brilliant, there was not a single one I didn't like, which adds to its watchability. Jack what a man; so well acted and such a great character. I would say my one problem with the series so far is that they have not used Caleb as well as they could of. Especially in the last few series where he was pretty much forgotten about.

I am a horse person but I could quite easily watch the series without the horses, they are an added bonus. The plots, although at times very predictable, are incredibly heart warming and I challenge you to watch some episodes without crying.

My only niggles (apart from the Caleb thing) would be just general stuff you know from having horses... your finger nails never stay lovely and manicured for more than 5 minutes and if you manage to stay clean you obviously haven't done things properly!Other than that its a brilliant show and I look forward to the next series!

Abrams has done an amazing job reviving the franchise. The second film had a lot to live up to from the first and it definitely surpassed my expectations. It had you emotionally evolved from the outset and my nerves were in shreds by the end. The screenplay was brilliant with the right amount of intensity, humour, emotion and action.The way they've moved forward with the new timeline was very well done allowing past stories to cross paths with the enterprise but in a completely new light. All the actors did there characters justice with Cumberbatch making an amazing villain. I'm not a huge fan of 3D but the film worked extremely well in 3D. Whether your an avid fan of the franchise or not this film is worth a couple of hours of your time.

Having just recently read the books, I was excited to see that the first one has been made into a film. However, I was severely disappointed. The screenplay and the script were terrible. Key characters that are integral to the plot were either not present or given minor appearances. The characters that did appear were poor imitations of what they should have been which was a shame as there was some fantastic actors cast. one of the clever techniques in the books was to keep Galbatorix veiled in a bit of mystery but this film just went in the complete opposite direction with that. Important parts of the plot were also missing. Basically the film was a shambles but I hope that one day it gets picked up again to be remade by someone who has a better understanding of the books because the books really would make fantastic films.
