[+] elint@programming.dev -15 points 2 years ago (1 child) My partner and I walked out of Dune 2 around the 8 or 10-hour mark last weekend. I think this post is unfair to Eragon. It was about on par quality-wise with the book. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) The movie at least tried something. Whereas the book was just... 544 pages long. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mikael@lemmynsfw.com 1 point 2 years ago The book was terrible, tried re-reading it as an adult and couldn't make it 5 pages. Loved it as a kid however, but even as a kid I hated the movie. It's a shame because he got steadily better, parts of book 2 and all of book 3 were excellent, although again this is from memory. He clearly struggled to write a decent ending, book 4 was good until the end. permalink fedilink source parent
