May 12, 2007Despite going off-script when it comes to fatefulness, this is a truly exciting & heartfelt adventure for the whole family.

October 6, 2008"You are stronger than you realize. Wiser than you know. What was once your life is now your legend."
Industrial Light and Magic special-effects wizard Stefen Fangmeier makes the leap into the director's chair with this coming-of-age fantasy concerning a young boy whose d...( read more) -
September 13, 2008Oh boy, another cookie cutter fantasy story. Fantasy really needs to explore real life drama events that normal movies base themselves on, instead of the typical 'save the world from the evil king' plot we've all seen a thousand times. I want a fantasy about a dwarf with cancer.

November 18, 2009I sought after this movie on the internet with the sole intent of catching a glimpse of the up-and-coming actor Garrett Hedlund. What I wasn't expecting to receive in addition was wooden acting by the main cast of actors, the horrific writing, and the implausible sequence of eve...( read more)

In truth, astute viewers may note a more-than-passing resemblance to Star Wars... full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Eragon's fantastical milieu may be third-class Lord of the Rings, but its story--in what may constitute the most shameless act of plagiarism known to American cinema--is pure Star Wars. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
It's a pleasant enough fantastical adventure, but it does feel naggingly derivative. full review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
The film is the directorial debut of Stefen Fangmeier, a special-effects wizard of renown, and looks it -- i.e. magically and sumptuously detailed. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
A sword-and-sorcery tale told without the slightest whiff of screen magic. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Technically accomplished but fairly lifeless and at times a bit silly. full review

January 4, 2009Does anyone know when the second movie is coming out? I've heard they're not making it anymore coz they didn't make enough money off the first one???? Hope this is not true!

October 10, 2008They can remake it to be more like the books, but would like them to use the same actors, they were good!

Lady Twilight's right this movie bombed based on the books. It was cool at first, i hadn't read the books, but currently on the third book of inheritance and I can't believe how much they butchered the books. The cannot possibly follow up, they combined the first two books, and the only things they got right were the names of the characters, not the parts, or feelings, or overall character of them! I was sooooo upset, someone needs to remake it with Paolini helping with the script, or even have them them actually read the books!

September 23, 2008THIS MOIVE IS AWSOME!!!!! ESPCIALLY WHEN THEY HAD DRAGONS!!! ^^

July 8, 2008The movie Eragon was ok. I think I read the book after I watched the movie, but anyway, it was nothing like the book. The book was "ok", so I didn't care too much that the movie didn't follow exactly like the book. Becuz some parts of the book didn't add up, and the second book is even worse! Even the author said that he knew that he didn't do so well on the 2nd book. But well...I am still looking forward to the third book, its suppose to come out in September, or so. I think it has a great plot line and everything, but the magic is kinda disturbing to me, but yeah, thats just my opinion mostly.

April 2, 2008I understand how it can be disappointing to read a good book and then watch a movie based on the book that just dosen't measure up. I have had this same experience many times. Just have to remind your self that it's another persons artistic view of the story and not the arthors...therefore it is bound to be a bit different. I, myself, did not know of the books before I saw Eragon. I really enjoyed the movie so I'll be looking for the books now.
