You don’t need to bring in Galbatorix, unless you just promised John Malkovich a role, when clearly he isn’t even interacting with Eragon directly. He learns more about all of these characters as he goes on his journey, hence the concept of a JOURNEY. You don’t need to have Galbatorix when you have the Ra’zac, Durza (the shade), the Varden, Brom, and Murtaugh, all of whom actually interact with Eragon.
But you have this King who is not critical to the actual story plot (he is just a referenced plot point) who has his own scenes and it kind of becomes distracting. This feels like a distraction in the movie, because the story is supposed to be focused on Eragon and HIS journey.

Speaking of characters that are misplaced in this movie, there are at least three scenes throughout the movie that feature Galbatorix directly, while in the book he is only referenced and never actually shown. I just happen to know of a bunch of fellow readers who agree with me on this. Of, course if you haven’t read the book then you would know this. Without these interactions at the very beginning in Carvahall (Eragon’s home) I feel that something is lost. But, something else, Katrina has interactions with Roran and Eragon. It is frustrating because she is to become a central character (for those who have read the books). First, if you don’t include Katrina, then how are you going to continue the movies series? When (for those who have read the book) she appears in “Eldest” (the book) as the reason Roran and Eragon leave the group to go and search for her. In the book there is Eragon, Roran-Eragon’s cousin, Sloan-the butcher, and Katrina his daughter who is in love with Roran. To start off with the biggest peeve of this movie is that they blatantly disregard a character that is critical for the second book, “Eldest”. Eragon is guilty of these two items on numerous occasions.
The things in the movie that royally anger me range from the omitting of crucial details or flat out presenting incorrect facts.
"Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands.So, there are things that even if they are not what is presented in the movie that I could and would ultimately forgive for not being correct to the book. The story follows young farm boy Eragon who finds a polished blue stone in the forest which holds the key to returning the Empire to good rulers. They defeated the Dragon Riders and took over Alagaesia. He poaches a bunch of Riders who become the Thirteen Forsworn. After been punished for reckless behaviour, Galbatorix grows angry and splits from the Riders – learning & developing the dark secrets of forbidden magic. To protect and guard was their mission, and for thousands of years they succeeded." While the Dragon Riders where on guard, each with the strength of ten men, humans propsered in the cities of Alagaesia.īut there was a bad apple in their midst, a powerful dude by the name of Galbatorix. Set in a word of dragons and whatnot: "Before your grandfathers' fathers were born, and even before their fathers, the Dragon Riders were formed. Based on the fantasy novel (a kind of mix of 'Lord Of The Rings' & 'Star Wars'), published in 2003, by then 20 year old Christopher Paolini.
