They tried to blend all the books together and fucked everything up so bad a second movie is impossible.
Just a couple things I remember:
Galbatorix, the king and one of the last dragon riders, constantly claims he wants “his stone” back. That “stone” is a dragon egg and he should know this better than anyone.
Urgals, which in the books are basically orcs, are literally just humans with helmets.
They gave Durza, the villain of book 1, Shruikan, Glabatorox’s dragon. Which was then promptly defeated. Thing is, when dragons die, their rider is likely to die as well(galby is a special case, his original dragon died already). This is especially problematic because {MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD} Galbatorixs final plan is to breed his dragon with the lead characters dragon to bring back the dragon race he destroyed. Also, Galbatorix’s dragon would have most likely the strongest remaining dragon heart (“eldunari”) which are the source of galbatorix’s powers.
Tl;Dr: it’s not worth finishing the series because the entire rest of the plot would make no sense. The book series is literally my favorite series with >10000 series read.
It’s been my favourite series for so long, it’s so hard to explain to someone why it’s so good because it just sounds like another fantasy adventure series, but it’s so gosh darn good.
