"'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." | ||||
"If 'Eragon' proves anything, it's that not all dragons produce magic." | ||||
"This likable adventure is basically 'Lassie' with scales and should appeal to the books' large audience of adolescent boys. " | ||||
"If some of the characters won't be returning for the sequel, no matter. In all likelihood, neither will the audience" | ||||
"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" | ||||
"A sword-and-sorcery saga that desperately wants to be another 'Lord of the Rings'" | ||||
"The mess that's been made with all this money is maddening. This isn't economical moviemaking. It's a deluxe trailer for 'Eragon 2.'" | ||||
"An exercise in competence guaranteed neither to offend the initiated nor to charm anyone else" |
