Eragon Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Gregory Kirschling
Give Eragon a few years: By then, it might be delightfully bad.
Arizona Republic
Kerry Lengel
The title of Hollywood's latest fantasy epic is simply the word 'dragon' with one letter changed, and unfortunately, that's about the level of creativity you can expect from Eragon.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
If one happens to be a boy between the ages of 10 and 15 or so, all of this will be quite exciting and engaging. If one is much older -- say, 16 -- and has seen any epic adventure produced in the last two decades, Eragon will be trying.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The Hollywood studio is hoping and praying for lots of things, none of which matter a lick if the movie lays a giant dragon-sized egg, making all their aspirations nothing more than a bunch of hot air dissipating in the cold winter breeze.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
With no momentum and no real characters to care about, [Eragon] lumbers its way toward a grand, sequel-setting finale.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The strength comes from the 15-year-old author's conviction and enthusiasm for the story but the weakeness comes from its key elements being renamed rather then re-imagined.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Eragon may not be a big Oscar contender, but in a movie season filled with blood diamonds, fascist soldiers and Idi Amin, it provides a much-needed afternoon of PG-rated family-friendly adventure.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
First-time director Stefen Fangmeier delivers, giving young adults a teen hero astride a flying dragon (voice of Rachel Weisz) and a comely girl warrior, Arya (Sienna Guillory), who, like Luke and Leia, join forces and wits to bring down the evil empire.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
The film's few moments of hilarity are no less welcome for being completely unintended...
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The script, which reaches for importance by repeating ideas, drags down the actors, who try to do the same thing by throwing periods into the middle of a sentence: "Take care of Saphira. Without her. You'll find that life is hardly worth living."
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Paolini was 15 when he began writing Eragon, and the book's epic imagination reflects its creator's precocious youth. What a shame a bunch of grownups had to step in and muck it all up.
Los Angeles Times
Alex Chun
...Takes an already derivative plot and guts it like so many Urgals.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
In truth, astute viewers may note a more-than-passing resemblance to Star Wars...
Detroit News
Tom Long
The characters are full-on clichés spouting wooden lines, given no time to develop as the film races from one silly conflict to another.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
For all the promise of breathing fire and clashing swords, Eragon doesn't generate any real heat.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
There are lots of recycled movie lines, as ageless and hard to kill as a dragon: You are brave, but foolish ... Murder them all, but the boy is mine ... Most dragon riders take years to learn what you know by instinct. Etc., etc.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The mess that's been made with all this money is maddening. This isn't economical moviemaking. It's a deluxe trailer for "Eragon 2."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Eragon's fantastical milieu may be third-class Lord of the Rings, but its story--in what may constitute the most shameless act of plagiarism known to American cinema--is pure Star Wars.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
It's a pleasant enough fantastical adventure, but it does feel naggingly derivative.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The film is the directorial debut of Stefen Fangmeier, a special-effects wizard of renown, and looks it -- i.e. magically and sumptuously detailed.
