| No where near as bad as people are saying it is! (by AJ_is_Awesomness) |
| Maybe I'm missing something, but I actually really enjoyed this movie. OK, so the acting was a bit messed up in some parts, but wow the effects and Saphira the dragon were both special and breath-taking. If you have read the book, then maybe you will see this movie as a joke, but if you haven't then you might, like me, find it rather extraordinary. It has something to offer to everyone, not to mention a hot young cast, amazing CGI work and cool set visuals. Plus, the ending, when the Saphira dies is quite emotional, and had a lot of my mates weeping into their popcorn lol. So yes, I <more> |
| Loved the book... Loved the movie!!!! (by nelsonlaura1) |
| Wow! I don't know how they did it. This movie was totally awesome. I do not understand why people did not like the movie. What is going on in their head. Like they could do better. I guess some people are never satisfied.I started reading the book when I was about 12 or 13 I'm 15 now and just got so into it. I was wondering when they would make a movie on it and when I heard they were, I got so excited. I told my mom and my sister to read it too and they both loved it. I love to write too, but I'm not as good as Christopher Paolini. I like books with adventure. I've read all <more> |
| I haven't read the book and loved the movie (by cecyl33) |
| I haven't read the book and I loved the movie. Just after watching it in the Theater I went on a bookstore to buy the 2 books!!! What I understand about so many 1/10 marks is that it is only given by people who knew the books before. But a screenplay is so hard to make from a book, especially when the book is excellent. Anyway, the movie is great from a completely neutral point of view, the special effects are excellent, the acting is very good and it just gives you the passion for dragons and this epic!Magical! I can't wait to read the books! |
| Beginning of another epic (by nikhilvarma89) |
| I really didn't expect it to be good, but i was wrong, this movie is awesome! It's going to be another trilogy i guess, the acting is top notch, the special effects are amazing and the story overall is so adventurous, entertaining and exciting.Edward speleers has done a great Job considering that it's just his first movie, he has the potential to become a very good actor. The king's role which is played by john is also scary and good.All in all this a great movie to end the year with, having literally everything.9/10 |
| Disappointing To Book Fans For Major Deviations. (by Elswet) |
| Good thing I'm not a fan of the novel, then. I realize there are problems with this adaptation, but I must agree with other reviewers in that this story was obviously a total rip off of the base Star Wars plot, with a medieval setting tacked on, in the first place, so I don't CARE that this particular movie wasn't like the book. In fact, I found that a plus.The characters were enigmatic, unlike the written work. The dragon was awesome, unlike the written work. All the idiotic nonsensical details which did not mesh with one another were absent, and the story was amazingly coherent, <more> |
| This movie is amazing! (by Catgirl_255) |
| I loved this Movie if you haven't read the books its amazing! After I saw the movie it made me want to read the book , and I can see why people who read the book first didn't like it, when they say it was based on the book they mean BASED, like the book gave them an Idea for a movie. If you go into it knowing that the movie is actually really good. Buy watching the movie first then reading the book it makes the book seem like Deleted scenes. I highly recommend This movie, but watch it first and then read the books other wise it may ruin the movie for you. But you need to read the <more> |
| Eragon? (by horsecrazy1789) |
| Let's pretend for a moment I didn't read the book: Actors were great. Effects were great. Story line thrilling. It was an exciting movie that kept you going! All in all, A+.But WAIT! I did read the book! What the heck happened?! They absolutely butchered the storyline! I think the only thing they got right were the names! I'm dreadfully sorry Christopher Paolini... They got it wrong from character description to plot line! At first I was giving them a little credit cause they needed to edit it to make a movie, but by the time the sent Roran off to avoid the war instead of to work <more> |
| A world of fantasy and adventure (by themovieclub) |
| When Christopher Paolini first wrote the book Eragon, he was only 15. This could be a double-edged sword for split votes between those impressed with his talents and those who criticise at the story's immaturity and lack of depth.The name 'Eragon' is probably derived from 'Dragon'. A fantasy about dragons and magic, it traces the adventure of a farm boy Eragon whose destiny is to save an Empire now that he is the sole dragon rider.The main attraction of the movie should be Saphira, a digital dragon voiced by the talented Rachel Weisz. The dragon emotes sensitivity and <more> |
| why is everyone complaining? (by sabrinasavesyou) |
| watched it today and considering how aggravated people get in that one thread, i am really surprised. i thought it was much better than expected...way better than narnia...malkovich, carlisle and irons did marvelous acting..yes they did spend a lot of time on the dragon but ..so what? i rather have one very well done main sf piece as an overload that kills every story and eyesight . i don't think it's the duty of a mainstream fantasy movie to invent the wheel new. the story of "the farm-boy" becoming the hero to save magic land will always exist. and it probably has existed <more> |
