Eragon – The short movie review

Posted by YILKA in Entertainment, MoviesDec 16th, 2006 | 3 Comments

“Eragon” – the first in the series movies based on Christopher Paolini’s novels about a farm boy in Alagaësia, with the help of his dragon, later becomes a new hero. Unless you read those novels, otherwise it should take sometime to get familiar with the terms: “Dragon”, “Dragon Rider”, “Ra’zac”, “The Ancient Language” etc.

Despite the fact that Eragon novels made Paolini became famous at the age of 15, and the movie trailer looks attractive, the movie itself sucked – a big movie without soul. The pace moves too fast, no development time for characters, boring dialog, normal visual effect. I’m sure the movie will disappoint any readers who love those adventure books.
If you did enjoy “Lord of the Rings” or “The Chronicles of Nirnia”, you will find it’s hard to do so with “Eragon”. The soldiers and the dragons look very bad. This movie needs a director like Peter Jackson, who did a credible job of creating the best-ever LOTR series, to make it a truly Chrismast blockbuster.
And from what I know, they will make the second part soon. Good luck to them next time
