Nah, he didn't do Eragon OR Golden Compass. Although the Eragon movie was decent, and that's coming from a fan of the books. Fairly accurate, with cool-looking props and decent acting.
Eragon was really bad TBH. They didn't use CGI in the right spots and ofc the dwarf city looked like garbage and that whole last half didn't play out like the book at all. Plus lots and lots of tiny changes that added up to a lot of pain. All of Saphira for one... Should've went Lumpy Space Princess with her, IE, male doing a female voice, would've made it sound more dragon. Oh well.
Compass, I don't know why that one failed so hard, it was pretty decent to the book. Maybe because the first two books are kinda boring and it doesn't really get to the good stuff until Amber Spyglass?
