    What's all this about then? Another pile of steaming poo poo like Dungeons and Dragons was?

    Not quite sure as I've never read it but I believe it's the product of some prodigy. I think the writer was around 17 years old when he wrote it, since then it's been published all over the world and I believe it's even been translated. Now the movie's about to come out. It must be pretty good or, at the very least, entertaining for it to have moved this fast. I'll probably check it out. If I like the movie, I'll read the book too.

    I seem to remember seeing a trailer for this in the theatre and thinking pretty much along the same lines as Barmy Army. Maybe the film will be better than the trailer made it look but I have no intention of finding out.

    I've heard that the book sucks - just a rip-off of all that's come before it.

    :lol: I'm wondering why a video game is here. It's a movie, too?

    I don't get the books Paolini wrote - they don't catch my imagination and from the blurbs give me the sensation of deja vu.
