I watched "Eregon" today -- for free from the DVD store. It was a typical S&S tale -- with dragonriders. I would have enjoyed visiting Pern again better, I think, but it was entertaining as far as it when. It felt like it ended at part one though with the evil sorcerer-king undefeated. I had read the Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia stories so I knew that they are series. I should have researched "Eregon" a bit more before viewing, I guess.
