Title: This was entertaining... not bad!
Review: Although "Eragon" is palpably derivative of a number of fantasy franchises ("Star Wars," "Lord Of The Rings," "Wizard Of Earthsea," et. al.) it is still quite enjoyable, if a bit on the lightweight side. I have not read the original book, but coming into this blind, the film was about what I'd expected. Obviously it's been streamlined and no doubt dumbed-down a bit, but the special effects are good (the dragon, mostly, looks cool) and the story clops along at a decent pace. Nothing here will surprise you, but it's hardly the dismal filmic disaster other reviews have implied... It's just a goofy, no-brainer Hollywood action film, good if you want something light.And the dragon looks cool.(Joe Sixpack, Slipcue film reviews)
