Negative Positive
Title: Cutting floor debris from Lord of the Rings
Review: How could Jeremy Irons sink to this level? How could John Malkovich perform in this piece of dreck? In fact Malkovich overacts to the point you begin to wonder if he wasn't trying to turn this into a comedy. The lead character -- Eragon -- is a simpleton played by an actor whose only claim to fame must be his relationship with the director because it certainly isn't his acting. He merely poses and looks handsome throughout the film. Jeremy Irons does try to act but then to act you must have a script, which is sorely lacking here. Like most current films the personal hygiene is subpar and seems to be used as a gauge for evil. There are hordes of bad guys all of whom are suitably ugly and look like what's left over from Middle Earth. There was a Dragon in this film which seemed to be the only point of making the film. This is a film that should come with a warning label for bad acting and writing.
Is the review positive or negative?
