Raknar Raknison. Something like that. No doubts, the stupidiest mistake.
err, the stupidest mistake was them not putting in the ending where they MADE A CONNECTION TO ANOTHER WORLD.
...it was like, half of the plot, somehow put into 5 or so pages.
and the director left it out.
but i'll digress.
I never saw Eragon, but i heard nothing but bad things about it. The thing I liked about the book was you could really see the improvement of the writer over the course of the book. His imagination really took strength in the middle of the book, and continued on strong 'till the end.
If they put the portal in, they would have had to make a sequel.
err, they intend to, it should be out in 2009, and its called the subtle knife. If anything, the book was more originative than the golden compass, and Will is my favorite character of the series.
Speaking of sequels, lets talk about the Chronicles of Narnia: lion with and wardrobe sequel: PRINCE CASPIAN.
Come ON! I mean, Lion the witch and the wardrobe wasn't horrible, but it certainly wasn't great. And to make a sequel with the same characters, even though the same characters weren't as prominent (the basic storyline for the majority of the book is: those 4 kids go back to narnia, find its been, like, 1000 years since they've last been there, and find a dwarf who luckily enough is well-versed in the history of Narnia for the last 1000 years. They listen.)
I'll be really angry when the next one comes out.
On the flip side, it looks like theres a new director slated for the subtle knife, so whoopidoo!
