Personally, I think many good actors wind up ruining movies on account of poor production/direction choices. Not every actor is going to intimately understand a character and how to portray him/her right away, no matter how talented they are. However, the director should be able to work with actors and script writers together to get best result. It doesn't always happen, as I feel I observed in almost every emotional moment in Eragon. Feel free to disagree though.

Yeah, I was really disappointed with Eragon. It's like the director didn't even like the book he changed so much of what I really thought made it special. I can see abridging it to fit a movie, but deleting reappearing character's and they changed the whole ending for no good reason. The book went into such vivid details too that the director promptly ignored.

Completely agree with you guys about Eragon and to add two points: 1. Just because LoTR had Elves with pointy ears doesn't mean no other movie should have it. Stupid Fox executives. 2. Where were the freaking Dwarves? Sheesh, they are in the Dwarf city and no Dwarf is around? Come on.

DWARVES!!!!!!!!!!!! #ben# The whole movie jumped far too much. It seemed like it tried to include more than there was room for in its time frame, so everything felt hollow.

Wow, how did this thread digress so much?? Guess that was my fault from reading back over it all. Sorry about that.

For only having 4 real main characters, Iron Man was one unbeleivably good movie. Jeff Bridges was excellent.
