A Solid Mixed Reaction

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: There is certainly some promise in the film, but it also has many shortcomings.
Review: The kingdom of Alagaesia used to be ruled by dragon riders. These warriors and their dragons brought peace and prosperity to the land for many years. But one of them, Galbatorix (John Malkovich), wanted all the power for himself. He betrayed and...

We liked it

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2007
Review: My family and I really liked it. It was very cute, especially for my kids. It ended nicely for being part of a series. For the most part the cast was great.

My Eragon Review

Date of Review:  Apr 16, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you liked Christopher Paolini's book, Eragon, then stay far away from this movie. As anyone who watches this movie after reading the book will be disappointed.
Review: Eragon was an adaptation of the book Eragon by Christopher Paolini. Paolini was just 18 when this book came out. He has become what I aspire to be because we had the same background (home school), only he wasn't poor.
The Story:

I...

Visually Electrifying Fantasy-Adventure

Date of Review:  Apr 23, 2007
The Bottom Line: Good for the family collection.
Review: Eragon is a well done movie in my opinion. I haven t read the book, but I hear it is a must read, and then a must see. I think that the movie can stand alone without its book counterpart. I went and saw it opening night with a bunch of friends and...

Don't depend on the viewer having read the book

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2007
The Bottom Line: Read a good book, either Eragon or something else before you sit down to watch this.
Review: I have not read the book that this movie is based on but am intending to do so now that I've heard my movie companion moan about how the storyline was butchered by the Hollywood treatment.

Since I had not read the book, I had no...

Unless you have kids, don't bother

Date of Review:  Aug 19, 2007
The Bottom Line: This might be good for younger kids that can't see through all the plot holes and bad acting.
Review: This movie takes place in a fantasy kingdom called Alagaesia that is ruled by the evil king Galbatorix (a former dragon rider that betrayed pretty much everyone he ever knew in his quest for power). When an orphan farm boy named Eragon (played by...

Eragon - a good Fantasy movie

Date of Review:  Mar 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: I recommend it for people who love fantasy movies and for children of all ages. It's a great movie to watch with the family.
Review: Eragon is the story of a young man discovering a mysterious object he thinks is a rock in the woods one day, only to find that it is actually a Dragon egg, and suddenly a lifetime of adventure is ahead for him.

I went out and bought the...

"You have fled from this movie - you lost $10".

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2006
The Bottom Line: Not recommended. Run, run for the hills and avoid at all cost!
Review: **Spoilers included***

Eragon is fantasy at it's worst. I've not seen a more disgustingly bad fantasy genre movie since Dungeons and Dragons(2000). Not only is the script bad, it blatantly rips off scenes from other movies.

This...

Eragon - Lord of the Rings Wannabe

Date of Review:  Dec 19, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you are a hardcore fantasy film fan go see Eragon, barring that wait for the video.
Review: I m a Lord of the Rings (LOTR) geek. Ever since I discovered, rather late in college, Tolkien s trilogy and his other related works I ve been fascinated by the world of Middle Earth. Now it doesn t border on Trekkie weirdness, as I m unable to write...

What could have been . . .

Date of Review:  May 18, 2008
The Bottom Line: This could have been better, but was worth watching --- once.
Review: I avoided seeing this film, for a long time, and I really did not want to like it. I felt the same way, when I read the book, after about chapter three. Why? The book is a good fantasy story, with interesting characters and lots of action. It is...
