Eragon

[khana]

So, we went to the cinema, watched 'Eragon'. Overall, it's probably a nice movie. But, um... well.

The sound was bad, because there was some fault in the - well, the soundtrack. (Die Tonspur hat geleiert. Mein Langenscheidt kennt leiern nicht. WTF?)
So in the middle of the most drama~h-tic scenes the sound would go all wonky and it was not even close to dramatic any longer but rather - stupid. And hilarious. We (Tai and me, he sat next to me) laughed so much during that movie, at the most unfitting scenes...

So, they go all 'OMG, you did this so much earlier than all the other dragon-riders before' and 'the magic is in your instincts' and 'you are the chosen one' and we were laughing - as to not be crying, in my case. Was there any cliché this movie (and this book? haven't read it so far...) did not use? I'm so sure this cousin will turn up again. And the elves and dwarfs - is there no fantasy-world without those? They didn't even play a role, but they had to be mentioned none the less.

The dragon was pretty. It was rather strange that it grew up in about two days and that one moment it was too young to breath fire and the next it did just that. Oh, and the name. Blue dragon named 'Azura Saphira' (still, blue...)? Come on... -.- But it was pretty nonetheless, and I liked that it had feathery wings instead of, um, wings like bats, as dragons tend to have.
Also, the fighting-dress of that feather-girl? So realistic... Yeah, I'm going into battle, but I just have to stick metal feathers in my hair that look as if they'll fall out any moment just so the hero can tell me that I 'look... ready to fight'. Sure.

So, um, yes, we had a rather good time as we were laughing our asses of - I suppose we annoyed some other viewers, but hell, it was so stupid and hilarious and then the 'when will I see you again?' and the music was all wheeeoouuuuuuuuuooooaaaaaaoooouuu.... from major to minor and back and... ugh. Leierig. >.<

And the horses seemed to be in some kind of poke-ball. They were there as soon as you needed them, but utterly gone for the rest. (One scene, the 'wise mentor whatshisname was riding alone with a huge blue dragon over his head that just screamed 'I'm here, come and get me!!', and the next he had the second horse next to him again. Sure thing.)

I liked the guy with the crossbow in black clothes, whatever his name ws, even as he's the neglected son of this traitor-dragon-rider and has a stu-y past - not as much as eragon himself, god beware, but stu-y enough. poor thing... But I liked him anyway, for some reason.

So, that was that, was it?

Coding, now.

Auch auf die Gefahr hin, dass ihr mich meuchelt, aber ich habe beide Teile gesehen und fand beide Teile super. :) Ich liebe das Buch und ich hasse den Film. :)
Auch wenn so viele Klischees erfüllt werden... nein, ich find nicht, dass es ein 0815-Roman ist. *so* Und ich mag ihn immer noch, ich werd das Buch sogar nochmal lesen. SO. *g*

Ach ja... warum ich eigentlich geantwortet habe... mag wer gespoilert werden? *hust* Denn es kommt noch viel schlimmer... *dramatische Klänge bitte hier denken* *g*

Ratet mal bei wem noch ein Drache schlüpft und wer der Bruder von wem ist und wie dann wohl kommt, dass sich das Klischee vom bösen Vater völlig erfüllt? Wobei es ja eher böser Bruder ist... aber... mh... *g*

Naja, den Teil, der wirklich nicht abgekupfert ist, haben sie ja gekonnt weggelassen, denn Eragons Cousin muss noch so einiges auf sich nehmen und die Geschichte des Dorfes... schade. Und wenn man mal ganz genau hinschaut, ist Brom nicht wirklich Mentor. Im Buch jedenfalls eher nicht, er tendiert zu einer "Soll ich ihm wirklich was zeigen... verdammt, ich muss..." Aber leider hat wohl der Regisseur zu viel Starwars und HdR geguckt... wobei... die Elben hatten ja nichtmal spitze Ohren. +g*

Ah... und da fällt mir noch was ein... wo wir gerade über FIlme schlechtmachen sind... Starwars... ALSO... *luft hol* Ich sag nur Evil!Anakin... *muah* Ich kann nur einen Gesichtsausdruck... und die Gardersee-Liebesschnulze... meine Güte... *würg* Hab ich schon erwähnt, dass ich Starwars 1-3 nicht mag? *g*
