I agree with T MAn!!! And Christopher Paolini stated that he "enjoyed" the movie!!! What a rip off! 2/3 of the book was left out!

The movie is decent, but the book is phenominal. Too many characters were left out, downsized, or in the wrong place for them to make a second... . Where were the dwarfs? They were really important in the book and nonexistent in the movie. Brom wasn't the town fool he was the town storyteller, Roran did not leave to escape having to fight for the Empire he left to make money so he could try to get married! And Murtah and Eragon are supposed to have the same color hair and eyes, brown. Full Review

Eragon may not be a big Oscar contender, but in a movie season filled with blood diamonds, fascist soldiers and Idi Amin, it provides a much-needed afternoon of PG-rated family-friendly adventure.Full Review

It's a pleasant enough fantastical adventure, but it does feel naggingly derivative.Full Review

The mess that's been made with all this money is maddening. This isn't economical moviemaking. It's a deluxe trailer for "Eragon 2."Full Review

There is little complexity in the social, cultural or political shape of this world. So this film, directed by visual effects master Stefen Fangmeier and written by Peter Buchman in a straightforward manner, cannot escape the rote nature of such a fantasy.Full Review

The star of this fantasy adventure for young audiences is a charmer from the moment she is hatched (from a huge blue egg that starts to rock like a Mexican jumping bean). Her name is Saphira, she speaks with the voice of Rachel Weisz, and it doesn't matter that she's too young to breathe fire -- at first -- or that she waddles a bit on the ground, because she lives and breathes the joy of flight, which is exactly what was missing from most of Harry Potter's solos on a broom.Full Review
