To me, this movie is perfection.

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Kaydan Christian

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

When I first sat down to watch the Eragon film, I thought I was bound to be dissapointed. It's very rare that a film truly follows the book. And yet, this movie manages not only to pull that off, but to be even better than the novel. Great acting, great characters, and I fell IN LOVE with the cgi used on Saphira. Over all, a rare gem and example of how to do a book adaptation right. Ignore the haters, if I could I'd rate this film even higher

If you are watching this movie expecting a great retelling of the book series, your wrong. Oh so very wrong. The beginning of the movie proves this enough. Moments after Saphira's birth, she's a full grown dragon. Literally moments. What took months of establishment took the movie seconds. If you think the movie will be accurate, your wrong. The first flight with Saphira is spent in her arms, with Eragon being held. The actual book however depicts Eragon on her back, and makes a point of his legs getting injured as his legs rubbed against the scales of Saphira. THIS WAS A MAJOR PLOT POINT! Everything involving the introduction to the magic system is just wrong. What happened to the alley where Eragon was cornered? Oh and don't even get me started on the Raz'ac Overall, a horrid retelling of a good book, which only proves that Hollywood would rather shove their ideas down the throats of established characters and such.

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.

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
