Description:
In his homeland of Alagaesia, a farm boy happens upon a dragon's egg -- a discovery that leads him on a predestined journey where he realized he's the one person who can defend his home against an evil king.

While it owes much of its appeal and appearance to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Eragon can stand on its own as an enjoyable fantasy for younger viewers. Faithfully adapted from the bestselling novel by teenage author Christopher Paolini, this boy-and-his-dragon tale offers clean, fast-paced family entertainment without compromising the darker qualities of Paolini's novel (the first in what is known as the "Inheritance" trilogy). The plot centers on 17-year-old peasant farmboy Eragon (played by appealing newcomer Ed Speleers) who discovers a mysterious blue object that turns out to be an egg that eventually hatches to reveal Saphira, a blue-scaled dragon that quickly grows to full-size. According to prophecy, Eragon is destined to be a dragon-rider like those who once protected a benevolent kingdom, thus reviving an ancient conflict against the army of King Galbatorix (John Malkovich), a former dragon rider who turned to evil, now in alliance with a! dark-magic "Shade" sorcerer named Durza (Robert Carlyle). While the movie serves up familiar fantasy elements and offers little if anything new to fans of the genre (or anyone who's read the books of Anne McCaffrey and Ursula K. Le Guin), it's visually impressive (especially the dragon scenes, with Rachel Weisz providing the telepathic "voice" of Saphira) and full of timeless wisdom, much of it delivered by Eragon's heroic mentor Brom (Jeremy Irons), himself a former dragon rider with memories of past battles and hope for Eragon's future. Add a fair warrior-maiden named Arya (Sienna Guillory) and you've got all the ingredients for a worthwhile (if not particularly original) fantasy that points directly to a sequel. Whether that's a good or a bad thing is up to individual viewers to decide. --Jeff Shannon

Okay, so the book was a bit derivative and you could tell it was his first. It still deserved a way better movie! To be fair, there are a few good, even excellent moments to be had here--I tip my hat to Mr. Irons for most of them, who I think really captured the spirit of Brom's character, and to the graphic designers who created Saphira for the rest--their care and love really shows through. The CGI Saphira is a thing of beauty.
The rest of the movie, however, is simply not worth your time ... Read More

First and foremost, I need to mention that I've never read the book, although I hear it was much better than the movie.
I don't know who wrote the script, but I've seen better writing in bad fanfiction pieces. The writing is uninspiring, and at times it's downright cheesy (are we together... as one.../ into the sky, to win or die). Some of the lines were supposed to be inspiring but they usually just made me laugh. It's a shame, too, because I see it as a story with great potential. ... Read More

This would be a fine movie if I had never read the book. The movie took away some of the most important elements and details of the book (such as Arya not even being an elf in the movie, and the obvious lack of dwarves.) An Eragon movie created in the style of the book series has so much potential that was lost in this cinematic effort.
In defense of the movie, my husband and son loved it because they had never read the original story. (They have both recently listened to Eragon on Cd ... Read More

This is the first time that I can ever remember that I walked out of the theatre angry. I had loved the book and found that the movie completely botched the story. The producers added things that were rediculous and removed characters and scenes that are vital for the book. I know that they were just trying to make it more view friendly (such as adding the love interest between Arya and Eragon) but the book sold well without this and I felt that it drastically diminished Arya's character. Even if I ... Read More

I JUST rented this movie.
I was pissed off within the first five minutes of watching it.
When a movie is turned into a book you know things will be changed and messed around with, it's expected... However... They did SO much changing with this the only things that resemble the book are the characters names, the places.
I seriously didn't make it even thirty minutes into the movie. Everything's changed in it from what I did see. Note: Spoilers ahead.
In the book ... Read More
