"As Bland, As It Wants To Be" - Eragon

Date of Review:  Mar 3, 2007
Review: Stefen Fangmeier the director of "Eragon" should have stuck with being a Visual Effects Director. In this debut, he has given us a story that we can fall to sleep on, and has squandered the brilliant acting of Jeremy Irons and the potential of John...

Eragon: A boy and his dragon.

Date of Review:  Jul 10, 2008
The Bottom Line: A cool fantasy movie but left me wanting more.
Review: This is a fantasy movie about a boy coming to age. It takes place in medieval times where kings are wicked and life is hard. The young male population is immediately made a soldier when they come to age which leaves a bad taste in the peasant's...

Eragon was excellent

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2006
The Bottom Line: This was a great addition to the fantasy movie genre, and I plan on reading the books, too.
Review: Eragon (pronounced air-uh-gon) is a great fantasy movie for all ages. It is full of action, adventure, sorcery, monsters, princesses, and heroes. I have not yet read Christopher Paolini s best-selling novel upon which this is based, so this movie...

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...

"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...

Cute Baby Dragon But an Ugly Film

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2006
The Bottom Line: Not a good film. Wait for cable.
Review: I want to preface this review with the fact that this is a child's film, so to begin with you shouldn't go into this film expecting something with the depth and breathe of Lord of the Rings. That said, there is plenty lacking in this film. The...

That's the spirit - one part brave, three parts fool.

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you want to see this because of the book don't. It has decent action scenes and ok characters. Only those who haven't read the book will really enjoy it.
Review: Books and movies are a favorite pastime of mine. If I read a book and then I hear it will become a movie, I am very excited for the release. Thus having read Eragon, written by Christopher Paolini, I knew I had to see the movie.

Smacks of a ring cycle, and I'm not just talking Wagner

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2007
The Bottom Line: A movie to engage the junior fantasy fiend while the rest of us try not to commit hara-kiri or laugh hollowly at the bland acting and inane dialogue.
Review: Based on the best-selling novel by Christopher Paolini, the precocious youth who penned the novel at 15, Eragon may well be a case of movie people hijacking a perfectly good story and running amok with it. I confess I have not read the novel. My...

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...
