Review – Eragon

This dwells somewhere in the realm between the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Dungeons and Dragons in almost every way. The script, acting, story, and effects are nowhere near as good as Jackson’s versions of Tolkein, but thankfully – for Jeremy Irons’ sake if nothing else – they don’t stink anywhere near as bad as the clunker loosely based on the popular role-playing game. Heck, the dragon’s even kinda cute at times. Though this one will probably play better with the juvenile set than with older fans of the fantasy genre, it’s still not exactly the worst example of the species I’ve ever seen. Mildly amusing
