Eragon
This film provides little more than Sunday afternoon entertainment for the younger set. The story is simplistic where not nonsensical, the plot is unoriginal and the acting atrocious. Except for the dragon, none of the characters has any personality.
I find films like this very frustrating. It is so hard to find quality fantasy movies, and Eragon is part of the way there: it has the believable young dragon, the crafty veteran warrior, the poweful evil wizard, the realm to liberate, the beautiful and resourceful princess. However, it just falls short due to a neutered, unintelligent script. A shame.
Rating: Good.
