Extremely disappointing.

Christopher Paolini wrote a completely amazing book that left me wanting more every time I put it down. I must say that the movie was a polar opposite. What was the director thinking?! Nothing besides the charactor's names stayed the same.... Full review

If you read the book, you will find in the movie that a great number of "confining" flaws that overall trap the the "planed series" to a meger, flawed and dissapointing movie with a confusing story line, cheesy lines, poor effort... Full review

Right off the bat this movie showed that it would not stand up to the book. In high hopes that maybe it might still be decent I sat through the whole midnight showing, I shouldn't have. Rather you have read this... Full review

Though many people will say the movie sucks, I wholeheartedly disagree. Yes, the movie was not as good as the book, but when you look at the movie just by itself, it's really good. At least, that's my opinion. I say... Full review

As a huge fan of the books i can't imagine how insulted the author must feel to see his wonderful epic story of war, evil kings, dragons, and sword fighting turn into cheesy mush of bird like dragons and pretty boys!... Full review

Basically this movie was really bad. The movie was still really exciting to watch. I think the movie was good, but compared to the book It was also really odd the way that Eragon suddenly is able to do magic. JJ This movie was extremely enjoyable! ... Full Review

He tries to keep it a secret, but the King of Alagaƫsia, Galbatroix (Malkovich) has sent two magical creatures to find Eragon and Saphira, and perhaps capture or kill them. Accompanied by storyteller Brom, (Irons), he sets out on a journey to learn magic, sword fighting and dragon riding to, yes, fulfill his destiny. ... Full Review
