I read the book, then the movie. Did Eragon seriously say 'heal' for the healing spells? Is this OOTS?
Aside from that, I am tired of movie producers changing inconsequential parts of books when there is no benefit from the change, and taking out important parts, and adding in bits that weren't in the books and don't add anything to the story. /rant.
In the movie, the elf looks like a human, and the dwarves are just 5'6 guys with beards and scottish accents... and the Urgals were just darkish skinned barbaric humans.
Anyways, I thought the book was... ok. The movie was irritating as hell. They could have done it a lot better. It wasn't terrible though.
