Do Not See 'Eragon'

Eragon is bad, very bad. Based on a well cut trailer I ignored popular opinion and watched this stinker.

The only worse lead actor they could have chosen would have been Hayden Christensen (from the recent Star Wars movies). The musical score was terrible. The cinematography was terrible (massive overuse of one really annoying camera trick). The first half of the movie was drawn out and tedious while the rest tried to cram in way too much. Parts made no sense at all - how does a guy on horse travel just as fast as a damn dragon? The dialog... oh, the humanity.

The mood was good though, as were the big name (over)actors suckered into playing parts. It was clear that the book had a lot more depth that was dropped for the film adaptation. A big waste.
