Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

uncsbuddy91 The book was well-developed with interesting characters and species. The movie was an insult. The species of some characters were changed- which is a big deal and completely ruins everything. Some characters were left out entirely. The dialogue and development of the story were simplified, especially Saphira's. The actual ending was changed in an unnecessary manner. The only credit I'll give them is the quality of the special effects. They screwed any chances of a sequel.

James Emtage On 15th December 2006, I signed to see Eragon at the cinema as I felt I could "use the experience". That evening, the experience turned out to be far more than I was expecting. I had a feeling that dragons would be involved as the first letter of the title is the letter after "d" in the alphabet. Before the film started, there was a trailer of Eragon the game which included a voice over saying, "Who you think is your greatest enemy, is actually your greatest ally." I quickly realised this referred to the dragons. I was very inspired.Within the first few minutes, I was already fascinated by what I was seeing. I hoped Arya would escape with the blue stone and was relieved when she sent it away by magic. When Eragon found it, I just could not wait to see what happened next. It's that kind of adventure.The bond Eragon and Saphire share is so strong. One day Eragon is a farm boy - the next day he's a hero. Amazing!I quickly came to find that Eragon is one of those films you can't really call a film, because it's beyond a film - it's a quest, a fulfilling adventure.For me, I certainly proved that a year can end very differently to how it starts. If anyone has anything negative to say about the film or the game, they had better keep it to themselves rather than spoil it for others. One of the students I knew loved dragons and had an Eragon poster in his room. I have no fear of flying and I would gladly team up with Eragon and Sapphire (I would ride a dragon of my own) and stand alongside Murtagh against Galbatorix.

Gwyll Gwyllin I really love this tale. I like the idea of dragons and riders, but the actor Ed Speleers was the worst choice. IMHO even Rowan Atkinson would better. He has charm in his smile but that's all good in him. He can't act and can't speak.Still ... Jeremy Irons, Sienna Guillory, Robert Carlyle and John Malkovich made the movie better. Jeremy Irons' almost rude, but wise style is frenetic. Robert Carlyle has many faces that very useful to be the main evil.Finally ... that texts are a bit annoying. Be careful, you be careful, no, you be careful ...That "7" goes to everybody, except Ed. He deserves 3.

anda-alexandra-86 Brom: narrating - There was a time when the fierce and beautiful land of Alagaësia was ruled by men astride mighty dragons. To protect and serve was their mission, and for thousands of years, the people prospered. But the Riders grew arrogant, and began to fight among themselves for power. Sensing their weakness, a young Rider named Galbatorix betrayed them, and in a single bloody battle, believed he had killed them all, Riders and dragons alike. Since then, our land has been ruled by Galbatorix. He crushed all rebellion, including the freedom fighters known as the Varden. Those that survived fled to the mountains. There, they hoped for a miracle that might even their odds against the king. Our story begins one night, as Arya, an ally of the Varden, rides for her life, carrying a stone stolen from the king himself...Oh, alrighty there! Let me just say that this is how the movie starts, with Brom telling the story of Alagaësia. All good there, Jeremy Irons (who plays Brom like a charm) has a soothing voice that beckons you to sit down and listen to his stories, but what he says is not entirely by the book and if you read the book first - like I did - you might get upset. The Riders did not grew arrogant and they did not fight between themselves until Galbatorix came along and began to act high and mighty! He is the reason the Riders were killed and the dragons as well. And Arya - who is an elf - did not steal the stone stolen from the king. She was guarding it for many years. The stone was actually a dragon egg - one of the 3 in the books that still remained unhatched! - that was carried back and forward between the elves and the dwarfs - which, by the way, do not appear at all in the movie! but in the book they hold a great part of the story. But never-mind that
