eragon is great.....
By williamsgwynfa (627 reviews) from gwaenysgor , 10 Apr 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
my daughter enjoyed this film, but actually preferred me reading the book to her. it was a bit like star wars and lord of the rings mixed together.
the story of Eragon is about a 17 year old boy called Eragon who finds a polished stone in the nearby forest.
After desperate attempts to sell it, he finds out that the stone, is really an egg, when he sees a young dragon hatch from it.
Eragon eventually finds out, that he is one of the legendary dragon riders, after meeting Brom, who used to be a dragon rider himself.
Eragon learns that he will have to move on, and become a dragon rider, and to stop the evil King Galbatorix from ruling the land.
The special effects in this movie, are created by the legendary studio Industrial Light and Magic, and they are great.
Jeremy Irons is crusty and sensitive as the old Dragon Rider called Brom, who becomes Eragon's guide, in the ways of magic and dragon riding.
Eragon's adversary is the superb Robert Carlyle as the evil shady character of Durza.
Rachel Weisz plays the voice of Saphira, the lady dragon.
this is a very good mythological tale, set in the land of Alagaesia, but i think that you should read the book first.- Was this review helpful to you?

Enjoyable film for the whole family
By Mike221 (5 reviews) , 04 Jun 2012I am not sure why this film has so many bad reviews......the last time I felt connected to a dragon/fantasy film was with dragon heart story is superb a lot better than most these days with superb special effects with a great storyline, I must admit I haven't read the book maybe that's why I enjoyed it but still I say its worth watching if you liked dragon heart I am sure you will enjoy this I know I did great fun for the whole family- Was this review helpful to you?

Drag goning it out
By Tuco2Tuco (26 reviews) , 24 Jan 2012This is a perfectly average fantasy tale with a few twists.
Personally I felt it was a little overlong.
The Dragon cgi is amazing.
Lead character a little wooden but couple of great cameos
Excellent for a Saturday afternoon.
Baby dragon is cute.- Was this review helpful to you?
