For those of you that are contemplating seeing the movie Eragon - please avoid wasting an hour and a half to two hours of your life that you will not get back. It is terrible, and I typically cut scifi/fantasy movies some slack. I have seen better B &C movies made for the SciFi Channel that were better. The CGI for the dragon was the only thing or any worth. I am not sure what the book plot is like, as I have not read it, but the movie plot is Star Wars converted into a fantasy movie. So much that I found myself with my mouth hanging open several times throughout the movie in a gasp. Ok, per the image above. In the center, Luke Skywalker, who is challenged with learning how to use the Force, or dragon magic in the movie. He is guided by an ex-Dragonrider on his left - Obi-Wan. He must save the Princess on his right. She is held captive by the evil guy on the far right. He is the evil king, and ex-Dragonrider that betray and hunted down all the elite Dragonriders - sounds a lot like Darth Vader - hello! To the right of the Princess is a rogue that joins Eragon in saving the Princess - abit like Han Solo.
….sigh…..
Tony Plutonium provides some additional details. (Worst. Dragon Movie. Ever.)
Take both of our advice - skip this movie.
