Eragon Any Reviews??

I know alot of people didn't like it but I've decided to take a chance on it since I had a gift card (I got the 2 disc version). I haven't noticed any reviews though, did FOX send any out?

I'll rent this. A friend was telling me about he was laughing out loud at the Star Wars parallels, and apparently he wasn't the only one in the theatre doing so. My daughter is a fan of the books, so she may buy it.

Re: Eragon Any Reviews??

If you purchase this movie because you think it will be anything like the book then you will probably be very disappointed. I have read both books and enjoyed them greatly but the only thing this movie really took from the books was dragon riders and character names

This is a pretty decent dragon/action movie if you enjoy fantasy stories about dragons and magic then you will probably enjoy this. It is fun to watch but I couldn't help but be disappointed because of the dissimilarities to the book.

Re: Eragon Any Reviews??

Well I haven't read the books (yet) so I probably will like it.

Re: Eragon Any Reviews??

I'm thinking I'll like it as well. I could care less about the SW inspiration, it can still be a fun film. At any rate, there is (or is going to be) a rifftrax for it.

Re: Eragon Any Reviews??

Does anyone know if the single-disc edition has a chapter insert? I haven't seen the film but I am being rather pessimistic about it. It seems that Fox doesn't do chapter inserts unless the disc is a flipper or if the movie is a sequel, a remake or film that did poorly at the box office.

I know Fox has one for the 2-disc edition, but I wonder if they ever put any effort into making them for the single-disc edition or just put a standard promotional insert. Walk the Line (single disc) didn't have one.
