Title: Falls Far Short of the Book
Review: As a movie, it's fine and enjoyable. As a movie based on the fantastic book Eragon, it falls far short. This movie had the potential to be epic - in the league of Lord of the Rings - but instead we are handed just another dragon movie. It is the kind of movie you expect to find on TV on a quiet Sunday afternoon. It is very enjoyable as long as you don't expect it to be epic, as it should be based on the book.I was disappointed in all that was left out. One of the impressive things about the book was the development of characters and their relationships, but this is entirely lacking in the film. If you watch this movie, set your hopes for it low. It is an enjoyable dragon movie as long as you expect it to be just another dragon movie, but it does not live up to the book.
