marcicat | Eragon re-watch

My amazing family picked up a copy of the movie ‘Eragon’ at a yardsale over the weekend, so naturally it was time for a re-watch!

Some Thoughts, In No Particular Order:

*What’s up with Murtagh’s accent? It appears and disappears just like the props!

*Saphira can fly faster than a horse can run; she can carry two people; she can see in the dark. Given that, no part of their travel itinerary makes any sense at all.

*On the other hand, the scenery is actually amazing (wikipedia says the movie was filmed in Hungary and Slovakia; very pretty mountains!), so there’s a point in favor of traveling during the day.

*I’m not sure what the book relationship was between Eragon and Arya, but in the movie she is clearly his mom. Every interaction they have makes more sense if you assume that to be true.

*Are there really only two named women in the entire movie? (Yes.)
