I liked the books, but also realized that it's just a Star Wars rip-off. Though, in the About the Author section, it did say that his love of Science Fiction and Fantasy led him to write Eragon. Still...
Anyway, I did go and see the movie and it was totally awful.
Waiting for the third book just for the sake of reading it.
I agree with this statement, but I didn't realize the Star Wars rip-off until about two months after I read it...
