I read the original Eragon book a long time ago but I've been wondering if the series is something worth getting into. I remember the moving being just awful lol.

It depends on what you're looking for.

If you're happy with kind of shallow young adult fantasy vibes, go for it. The magic system / world-building / characters aren't especially fleshed out, but they get the job done. The plot again isn't especially noteworthy, but it was a pretty fun ride and easy to digest. Basically it's very accessible fantasy, but somewhat mediocre.

If you're really into classic high fantasy stuff, maybe give it a miss. It probably won't hit the spot for you.

Regardless of whether you read the books or not, just... forget about the movie.
