I thought that Eragon was a well made movie. Although it went a little quick. I havn`t read the book and I thought it was amazing so I saw it two more times. But I went with someone who read the book and they said that the movie ruined it. Don`t listen to them they have a bad taste in movies. Jeremy Irons was absolutely amazing. He was definetly one of the coolest characters. Eragon was a cocky idiotic arrogant gorgeous 17 year old. (I`m 15 give me a break) But dark haired guy named Murtagh was sooooooooooo hott, and he is such a bad ass. Racheal Weisz who did the voice of Saphira was a tough chick. I loved her. And her side commentary was ho
I left early (I couldn`t handle the butchered storyline or the horrible acting). Maybe the movie description should say very loosely based on the book. I read the book and had a hard time with the jumps and major story/details changes. They didn`t even stick with simple details like Eragons hand. Don`t waste your time/money read the book. Short of rewriting the story I can`t see how they will manage the second movie.
best movie ever but disappointing to the book
I read the first eragon book and I loved it but when I saw the movie I expected to to see somethig like harry Potter but It was exactly the oppisite, very boring and very, very dissapointed.
IT WAS SO GREAT!!! Ya, they butchered the plot, but the actual movie was really good!! And come on, they can`t include every little tiny detail. GARRETT AND ED ARE HOT!!!! And omg whats up with that so called "elf", she doesn`t even have pointy ears or black hair.....? Saphira was amazing, I love the whole `scales and feathers` thing. So follow my rating.
This movie was a lot better than I expected it to be. Although there was some bad acting (Ed Speelers), Jeremy Irons and John Malkovich definetley made up for it. The dragon (Rachel Weisz) was very charming, and overall good movie 3.5 stars
Obviously the book was better. If they had accurately portrayed the book, the movie would have been 5-6 hours long. The visual effects were amazing but the acting was lacking. I wish that the script writers had tried to stay true to the book. The book is what brought about the publicity.
I loved the movie. It had lots of adventure and action. Two people I went with read the book and said a lot was left out but they still liked it. I suggest reading the book after seeing the movie. That way, you will enjoy the movie more.
Many of the words are difficult to udnerstand, but it will be better if you read the book first. The dragons are very realistic, and the fighting scenes will make you sit on the edge of your seat!
A movie with so much potential but unfornately unrealized. I have not read the book but came away feeling too much was missing. This movie needed at least 2.5 hours to develop the charachterrs and the story line properly.
