Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!

Must See Movie...

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Let alone Lord of the Rings... NOTHING of this is deserving of praise. NOTHINGThis seems like a scam. "Someone would think this might be as good as LOTR"

Not allowing Paolini have any control over this movie was a HUGE mistake. In what world would that be okay for a book to movie adaption? To compensate did they scoop up titans for their director or writer? NO. We had no names creating this movie without any direction or consultation from the writer of the book himself. The end result? An ill-paced movie with boring characters and a plot that doesn't even attempt to stay true to the novel. The only "positive" you could take is that the visual effects were decent for 2006. It breaks my heart that the series was effectively killed by this abomination of a movie, because I thoroughly enjoyed the novels. 12 years later I'm still patiently waiting for a remake, because this movie will never be watched again.

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 know this movie was not up to the standards of Lord of the Rings or others in the quality. It may not have even followed the book. But if you watch it with an open mind and not comparing it to the best there is on the market, it is very entertaining. I for one would love to see a sequel. It frustrated me the way it ended. Wanted to know just how the evil king and his dragon would be defeated. People are just to hard on some of our movies these days. Look to be entertained, and stop picking them to death. There is not a movie out there that can stand up to opinions that are set on finding the bad in them. When there is so much good qualities about them. Most of the time I judge weather or not I go see a movie in the theaters. If the critics don't like it then it is most likely a good show. The more they like it the less the chances I will see it ever. That rule of thumb works very well for me.
