Amazon.co.uk Review:
While it owes much of its appeal and appearance to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Eragon can stand on its own as an enjoyable fantasy for younger viewers. Faithfully adapted from the bestselling novel by teenage author Christopher Paolini, this boy-and-his-dragon tale offers clean, fast-paced family entertainment without compromising the darker qualities of Paolini's novel (the first in what is known as the "Inheritance" trilogy). The plot centers on 17-year-old peasant farmboy Eragon (played by appealing newcomer Ed Speleers) who discovers a mysterious blue object that turns out to be an egg that eventually hatches to reveal Saphira, a blue-scaled dragon that quickly grows to full-size. According to prophecy, Eragon is destined to be a dragon-rider like those who once protected a benevolent kingdom, thus reviving an ancient conflict against the army of King Galbatorix (John Malkovich), a former dragon rider who turned to evil, now in alliance with a dark-magic "Shade" sorcerer named Durza (Robert Carlyle).
While the movie serves up familiar fantasy elements and offers little if anything new to fans of the genre (or anyone who's read the books of Anne McCaffrey and Ursula K. Le Guin), it's visually impressive (especially the dragon scenes, with Rachel Weisz providing the telepathic "voice" of Saphira) and full of timeless wisdom, much of it delivered by Eragon's heroic mentor Brom (Jeremy Irons), himself a former dragon rider with memories of past battles and hope for Eragon's future. Add a fair warrior-maiden named Arya (Sienna Guillory) and you've got all the ingredients for a worthwhile (if not particularly original) fantasy that points directly to a sequel. Whether that's a good or a bad thing is up to individual viewers to decide. --Jeff Shannon

- great story
I was happily surprised by this film. It had a distant Lord of the Rings feel to it but was still uniquely exciting with its own individual storyline. I had wanted to see this film for so long and I am so glad I have now, I was really moved by this and actually had a tear in my eye in some parts. A good story for kids and adults alike with a really sweet dragon!
Rating:
- Did the Writers read the book?
I was looking forward to Eragon so much. The book was good and I had high expectations. The film just failed to deliver.
The film had a few big names, (Jeremy Irons, Robert Carlyle, Rachel Weisz and John Malkovich) but even they coudn't save the story.
Admittedly, the book is long, but they have missed so much out that it will be hard to make the next story. For example, the story misses out at least two major places (Dras Leona and Teirm). Ignores one majoy character (Jeod) and hardly ... Read More

- Lots of potential..........
and most of it wasted. Most of the stuff that made the book enchnting and exciting has either been watered down or left out, the Raz'ac who are the bane of the book's good guys, went from awsome, dangerious and scary in the book to weak, dumb looking, and as tough as a wet paper bag in the film.
The relationship between Eragon and his dragon in the book is deep and heart wrenching, in the film it's shallow, rushed and you think 'why should i care?'.
This could have been soo good, ... Read More
Rating: - High expectations, no results
I was reading the book when I suddenly thought what a good movie "eragon" would be, I soon found myself loging on to amazon and found the dvd easily. I ordered and waited eagerly. It was delivered promptly (a day early) and I started watching only hoping that it would be half as good as the book. Unfortunately it wasn't. I found that with the changes the film makers had deemed nessecary for the film, nothing made any sense and that a lot of the fun and mystery of the book was lost. I thought the special ... Read More

- comparing to the book
i think the film is good in its own aspect but when compared to the book, do you realise how many things are wrong!
1. they killed the ra'zac
2. no solembum (i think he will play a big part)
3. no smashing of the big diamond thing
4. ERAGON DIDNT GET THE SCAR!!!!!
