As soon as Saphira has hatched, Galbatorix stages a manhunt for Eragon, using a black-magic Shade named Durza (Robert Carlyle) to do his dirty work. He tries to sell and barter the stone to no avail, and only after he’s stuck with the stone does he realize that it’s not a stone but an egg, and from that egg springs a dragon named Saphira (voiced by Rachel Weisz), who has chosen Eragon as her Dragon Rider. Arya teleports the stone to an undisclosed location upon capture, where a farm boy named Eragon (Edward Speleers) stumbles upon it. Malkovich is King Galbatorix, a Saruman-like ruler of Alagaesia who is on the hunt for the elf Arya (Sienna Guillory), who has stolen Galbatorix’s special stone. No, instead we get John Malkovich, who used to be cool but is now the only person in Alagaesia that speaks in an American accent, even though everyone else around him is clearly British. And if this movie is missing anything – and it isn’t just missing anything, it’s missing lots of things – it is a cast that boasts anyone remotely as cool as Viggo Mortenson. Even the name is only a few letters removed from Aragorn, son of Arathorn, a.k.a. None of us is brilliant.Ī fair game is hard to play when there are idiots on both teams who believe they are god.It’s not surprising that a rival studio to New Line thought that the market would support another “Lord of the Rings”-style medieval adventure, but surely someone, somewhere along the way, took a look at the structure of “Eragon,” the best-selling novel by then–teenager Christopher Paolini, and thought, “Isn’t this just ‘Lord of the Rings’ crossed with ‘Star Wars’?” And, of course, that’s exactly what “Eragon” is. Before throwing the first stone write your own book/script and see how good you are at it before you critisise other people. In all I am curious to what happens next.
And don't be so judgemental perhaps the next movie might follow a stricter line and show more detail to what is in the book. And if that is from the book then shame on the writer too.īesides fanatsy books are just what they are and for those who say its the best book ever, please. But again the emotional aspect of how the boy reacts in the movie to all that happens around him in my eyes is unrealistic. But lets be honest they tried their best and the movie makers did succeed on playing everyones mind the bond bewteen a dragon and his rider which was nice. So I will agree with the greater part that the movie was not a grade A or brilliant.
I mean fanatsy stories in 1h30 min is a joke.
I have personally never read the books but from what I saw in the first movie of eragon it did seem that there are alot of things missing which could have given it more substance.
