Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
rabid669 This is literally a completely different story and my god it is just not good. I will give it one thing.... i'm not even kidding, just.... one thing. watching the movie made me read the book, now i know why everyone hates it. i could have done a better job on this script while drunk and on LITERALLY, any other drug you could think of. This movie is the result of reading the back of the book cover and the last two chapters. I seriously hope the moron who wrote this never has children, we already have enough stupid people in the world. If the person who did the script for this (shudders) movie, QUIT YOUR JOB. You seriously suck at this OUT LOUD.
AHOLDER-1 When I saw this film in the theater, I fell asleep approx 15 minutes in and woke up at the end of the last shot before the credits rolled. It was that dull and boring.
tankace This so called Eragon doesn't deserve that name,this chip ripoff of Aragon, . It may make me a bit of a hipster but the book was way, way better than this awful ,boring, unexciting mess of a film. To my point that movie left out what made Eragon differ from Lord of the Rings and the director just try to make a copy paste of the Middle Earth. The fun thing is that the Fellowship had a budget of 93 million, 7 millions less and with technologically inferior CGI ,but if you go and compare them you are going to see that although five years older the computer effect on the Fellowship are pitch perfect and Eragon's look awfully fake. To be honest I hoped when I first went to see it that it would be a good film adaptation because I grew up with the inheritance cycle, I was disappointed and the fact that this film is at the bottom 10 according to Rotten Tomatoes and that the author Christofer Paolini disowned it, show by themselves how bad it was. Just for the record its planned sequels were canceled ,due to the back lash, that's the level of awfulness of this flick.
Xerlientt I love the book, I really do, I know is not exactly a great book but is fun and it has good characters... not this movie... Is between my top 5 of worst adaptations ever and man do I hate this movie, for starters while the book had good characters and fun action to entertain people and forgive it for being too similar to Star Wars in regards of plot this movie goes full knock-off, being as similar to Star Wars as is possible and is so absurd! The Nintendo DS game is way closer to the source material and sorry but if a DS game is more faithful to a book than your movie... you did something really wrong. The acting for the most part is bad, Sienna Guillory, John Malkovich and Garrett Hedlund, man they don't even try and Ed Speelers as Eragon... terrible, just terrible, the only good performance in the entire movie is Jeremy Irons, he was perfect as Brom, as for story goes just like the movie is similar to Star Wars but again the movie goes full cheap knock-off, is as unoriginal and generic s Hollywood can get. The visual effects are amazing and Saphira looks gorgeous but visual effects don't make a good movie, I've said that many times by now and even the music was generic, Patrick Doyle, you are talented man but not even you tried with this film did you? This is simply a terrible adaptation in every way, the characters are nothing like in the books, their personalities and hell, even their physical look don't match the characters at all (Except for Brom) so in the end.... yes... what a let down I hope one day we can get a much better reboot made by a more capable studio and a more capable director with more capable actors
