Media Author Review
United States
SFGATE
"'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."

United States
Philadelphia Inquirer
"I wish Eragon's cinematography were crisper, the music less Wagnerian, and the acting more consistent. But this movie isn't for me. It's for my 10-year-old"
United States
Baltimore Sun
"A sword-and-sorcery saga that desperately wants to be another 'Lord of the Rings'"

Canada
The Globe and Mail
"An exercise in competence guaranteed neither to offend the initiated nor to charm anyone else"
