Eragon movie day review

General
I went out and saw the movie yesterday. First time ended up getting cut off from a construction crew hitting a power line. But that problem aside I got to see it over at the other movie place later on. Which brings me to my personal review of the movie.
Having read the book I knew there was much not going to be included. Which brings me to the movie itself. It is loosely based on the book in the most average respect. All the important key story points still happen, but they change how they happen. The only true complaints I meaintian from before seeing the movie is Eragon's hair is not dark like the book describes. And Arya's ears are not pointed for being an elf. But trivial stuff is all. And I am thankful they didn't pull the game's story flow for what it did. Saphira was rendered wonderfully to fit into the scenes, complete with clothes moving when pressed under her talons. And while some of the changes make some smaller, wonderous points the book pulls make me just wonder what they plan later on. In it's flow though, It maintains the epic story that held in the book. Just like an alternate timeline is all. To the end after all had gone I even ended up crying at how strong it was and how I could personally connect to it.
