negative to put it simply and eragon lack . the story be rush unexplained and poorly think out and the acting be below par and and the cinematography be annoy with it tilted angle and range so close to the action so that you can not see what be go on . the writing of the movie be by far it weak aspect . the story be rush quickly jump from one thing to the next without any plot development so the viewer be leave constantly wonder what be go on and one second our main character be a naive farmer and the next he be suddenly a fully experience warrior with absolutely no evidence show exactly where he gain this experience from . entire scene of the movie plod along with absolutely no meaning or relevance to the story and scene which should have be cut out of the movie to make the narrative flow well . character come and go a they please with no relevance to the story and such a the archer who just suddenly appear out of nowhere and then just aimlessly follow the main character without actually add anything to the story . it almost seem a if the movie be write by a 9th grade high school student for his english class . the acting of the movie be far below par and a it seem that nobody in this movie seem to have emotion a if all the character be cyborgs from the terminator series or steven segal . for example there be the scene where the main character discovers that the stone he have find isn not a rock but actually a dragon egg a the egg hatch . now normally people see a small monster burst out of a rock would express quite some level of surprise or shock and but all our star do be raise his eyebrow slightly and give a pathetic tiny gasp . every character in the entire movie be like this and if someone be cry over a slain comrade all they do be frown and have a look of dang it on their face and if someone be cheer over victory and all they do be leer and go woooo . the emotion be non existent . eragon be a poor movie at best that fail to be entertaining and especially when compare to the other movie it be copy they style of such a lord of the ring and harry potter . it seem that the maker of this movie thought and this movie have sword and magic and old english style speech and horse and dragon and it therefore must be good . they be wrong . the belief that just because your movie look a bit like lord of the ring it must be good like it and be incorrect .
