Title: Zero Stars for this movie; Four Stars for the Dragon Animation
Review: I'll give the CGI team Four Stars for the Dragon Effects, especially the flight scenes through the river valley and the final aerial battle at the end, but the movie and story are the worst. Star Wars and Lord of the Rings are seminal stories which succeed as tales because they stand as archetypes; so both stories are nothing new (Star Wars and LOTR), just retold Jungian/Campbell tales done in a superb, fresh manner. Thus you might argue what's the difference if Eragon does the same thing? Star Wars and LOTR are STILL AROUND! With parallels in Eragon SO CLOSE to these two stories and films, I really can't believe there's no intellectual copyright infringement lawsuit pending...bottom line: the movie is boring: I literally pressed fastforward from 56 minutes to the end and the aerial battle.
Is the review positive or negative?
