Eragon
Eragon is an all-action, crowd-pleasing, big budget fantasy dragon movie. So why was I bored shitless?
Eragon fulfils only a small part of its considerable potential due to some clumsy storytelling, inadvisable plot simplification and a complete absence of character. It's actually not that bad, and I think that lots of viewers, particularly younger ones, will be less picky than me and will enjoy it - it just could and should have been so much better. I enjoyed this film: I think the average moviegoer will enjoy it: Testosterone Satisfaction Rating: To enjoy this film you should be: a fantasy fanatic.

I was so looking forward to this film, having read the book and become a fan, however the film leaves so much of the book out that the story just falls apart, however if your interested in the film I'll try to portray a bit of the story to you by copying a book review by Hilary Williamson from http://www.reviewsofbooks.com/eragon/ so at least you'll have a fighting chance if you goto see it. I would suggest, however, that you read the book in this case.
Eragon is one of the best movies ever made! Ed Speleers did a wonderful job and i think that any one who says bad things about it, needs to get a life!!!!! My own sister thought the book was better, but with what FOX had, they did a good job.Eragon helped me find my true self and i think it will help others believe in themselves
People say that the movie Eragon is bad. i think difrently. eragon helps people find their true selves. i now believe in myself
eragon: a story of frienship, dragons, love, good v. evil, learning respect, believing in yourslef, swords, trusting others, and my favorit: Being the best book since LORD OF THE RINGS!!!!!!!!! ERagon is one of the best, second to LOTR. People, you need to see this movie and name it a family movie, all right, young kids and people who can't stand vilonce stay away, but young advernturers, get ready to dive into one of the best movies of the mellinea! did i spell that right?

Maybe it's because it's trying to be a mini-Lord of the Rings, but it's much cheesier. Where the Rings trilogy stretched
straight-facedness well past breaking point, Eragon plumps for traditional, and therefore very predictable, shallowness.
All the important detail is removed, leaving us to swallow anything we're told - the framework is there, but it's not
fleshed out. For example, we learn that "dragon riders" can perform magic and that it drains them - which is a nice touch -
but that idea isn't pursued or developed. The dragon is born and then bingo, she's all grown up and buggers off whenever
it's not convenient to have a 30-foot reptile hanging around. No-one seems concerned about where she goes. I would be,
wouldn't you?
The lead role is taken by newcomer Ed Speleers and, to be fair, he's not up to the job. He has no screen presence
whatsoever and he's so bland that a stick of celery would look interesting in comparison. Fortunately Jeremy Irons is on
hand as his very conveniently available mentor (with a painfully obvious "secret" history) and he does add some much needed
weight, but it's Robert Carlyle who wins the performance trophy as the nasty "shade", under the command of similarly
watchable John Malkovich. Malkovich is vastly underused, which suggests the sequel may already be in production, but if it
is, I hope they're using a different director, because Stefen Fangmeier makes a right fist of this episode.
Fangmeier is a special effects guy - among his past triumphs is the visually magnificent
