In the movie
Last night I was watching a movie. It has been a while since last time, if I remember right, it was in spring, Wallace and Gromit. So maybe it was again a time to go watch something.
About a month ago I saw a trailer of Eragon and it seemed a good movie. So it was my choice yesterday. And I have to admit, it was not so bad. Okay, it was quite typical fantasy movie, good vs evil style but still, it was enjoyable. There were some parts which could be taken directly from Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. Eragon also had an old man which as once in the history something greater, just like Obi-Wan in Star Wars. And Eragon also had a betrayer. So quite many similarities to other movies. But it was still quite good movie, specially when it was based on the novel, which was written by 15-year-old. Comparing to texts I wrote when I was fifteen, I am stunned. That was actually a good story. Well, of course movie is different than the book but still, it is hard to make a good movie from a horrible book, so when the movie was good, the book must be also.
