I do. The background is important to establish the atmosphere and world of the movie. If a lot of it is lifted from other authors and people know, then a lot of the atmosphere is lost. People don't enjoy something they know has been plagiarized and it smacks of laziness.
Saying the world isn't supposed to be original or creative doesn't change the fact that it's not original or creative and therefore is not good.

Also I do not believe Saphira was meant to be considered hot. So yeah.

Not to mention the plot was pretty much lifted out of Star Wars.

Initial thought: "Saying that an actress from a movie is hawt is a redeeming feature for it is a bit odd, but I don't see why everyone finds the statement so weird".

Second thought after looking up who Saphira is: "What the hell, Armok".

It's Armok, I have no reason not to believe him.

She's the dragon.

She's also Rachel Weisz, so his statement isn't completely unqualified.

Agreed.

The books aren't amazing, but the movie was just awful.

I know it's unrealistic, but I can't help but imagine little bearded babies for dwarves. In my mind, they come out of the womb fully bearded. That's how the mother carries them around, too, she just drags them around by the beard or ties it to her belt. When the father's on duty, he just ties their beards together and the baby just kind of hangs there, swinging to and fro with Urist McDaddy's movements.

Also, Saphira is hawt. That's a big redeeming factor, probably the only one in the movie.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

If you imagine the Dragon turning into Rachel Weiszz in typical forum roleplay Mary Sue fashion, I can totally see that being hot.

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?
