About a month ago I re-read the Inheritance trilogy for the first time since it originally came out. Amazing book series. Has a very strong story full of well presented and thought out characters and the world building is fantastic. As with the books, I decided to re-watch this movie for the first time since release and let me tell ya, it is terrible. It might be a good movie for someone that hasn't read the books. Actually, no, I take that back. I think it would be merely mediocre.The movie has none of the fantastic world building that the books have. I really wanted to see the mighty Tronjheim within Farthen Dur and the movie shows some hovel within a cave. All of the mystery surrounding if Empire will find Eragon or not is gone. The mystery of who Brom is is gone. They leave no mystery for any of the movie! What is this!!! The characters were mostly well cast. Sienna Guillory as Arya could have used some prosthesis to make her more Elf like. Ed Speleers was decent enough, need some more acting lessons though. John Malkovich as Galbatorix?!?! Come on! Galbatorix is supposed to be menacing, and have the most commanding, silver tongued voice around! Not hating on John Malkovich, he's a good actor, just a terrible choice for Galbatorix (don't even get me started on why he isn't even necessary for this movie) And Brom! Daaaaaaammmmmn, they definitely picked the right actor for Brom. Jeremy Irons was a superb choice for Brom. I suspect that the only reason I didn't like the character was the shoddy writing and directing. The movie is good for something though. It can be used as an example of a director not trusting his audience will figure out the hidden meaning on their own.I'm actually really sad that I watched this movie because I know that it will taint my memory of the books.I highly recommend that 20th Century Fox sell the movie rights to HBO because this could make an AMAZING series to follow Game of Thrones. Wouldn't be an 8 season series like GoT, but 4 seasons would be plenty. Especially if the story is presented well and accurate.

Tell me if you've heard this one before... A farm boy wants to do something more with his life. He leaves home to run an errand, finds something that foreshadows a future as a special kind of knight, and when he returns home is a family is dead. He and a mentor go to rescue a princess. The mentor teaches him about how to tap into a special ability he has. They quickly run into a shady guy who will end up proving himself trustworthy. They fly around. They get to the princes and release her. The mentor takes on the big bad guy and dies. The three young heroes unite and blow up the evil lair. The name of the movie I'm describing is.... Eragon? True, Star Wars itself is in many ways just a retelling of The Hidden Fortress, but that was a practically unknown movie, especially when you compare it to Star Wars.

Movie doesn't set itself up properly for non book readers and rips up the book and uses it to wipe its bottom from the perspective of the book readers. This movie is only Eragon in name and if you've never read the books its going to be quite disappointing for non kid viewers. Random omissions and changes as well as unexplained points severely hurt the movie in my opinion. At least the CGI wasn't terrible. This would be a movie a child might find fun but any adult would just be dissatisfied with.

If you're going to see this film, expecting great special effects, just let me pause you for a second. This film has pretty bad special effects, I must say, and I don't think they will be very impressive to you, either.This film has every fantasy cliché in the book, which is the main flaw of this film basically. The whole plot line, the character's behaviour, the...DRAGON...it all makes up for a very cliché movie. I think the main reason some want to see it, though, is because the special effects may be good. They're not, so don't!This film is watchable, but it's still not really worth watching. If you had to watch it, you'd be able to, but I don't think you'd enjoy it. The music in this film wasn't very good either, and it was a bit cheesy. The pacing for the story goes by way too fast, and it's a bit hard to keep up with what's going on. I prefer steady pace in films, or a calming, patient pace, rather than a "QUICK, JUMP TO THE NEXT SCENE!" pace. This film is basically what you'd expect for a decent straight-to-DVD film. So, I recommend you don't watch this at the cinema (because the special effects are horrendous), and just watch it for free if you get a legal chance.Overall, I think that the film was watchable, but I won't be watching it again. 5.8/10.
