This is nowhere near on par with the book. It was ok, but it could have been so much better.

This movie is very good the only thing that is a bit scary is the bug mummy things....

Wow. This movie made me a new mom. My step son was I think 6 maybe 7 when this came out and there was SO MUCH violence for a pg movie. I mean there was arrows flying into the bad guy's face. There was something with the girl.. I can't remember anymore. The battle scenes were so intense for pg. He was terrified...

I love the book, but the movie was such a huge dissapointment I almost cried. IT WAS AWFUL! I wish it could have been better...

I looovvveeedd the book but the movie sucked i think that if they did every little detail in the book it would be 7 hours long and at least rated R and it would be one of the coolest movies ever but this was awful they even said that eragon had a romance with saphira? i must have missed that part, anyway when i saw this movie my IQ dropped so much that now i have negitave 32623856088548439474894374843738 IQ and i have to eat out of a dog bowl!!!!!!!!!!!The only thing i liked in this movie is that it wasnt so long. the only bad meassage in this movie is do not make a movie like this. so all you fans of eragon out there just watch scooby dooby doo or something anything is better than this.

I loved the books, but the movie was not good. Didn't stick to the story very well...If you like the books I suggest seeing it. But not a movie I would see over and over again.

Probably the reason why it didnt include all the gory stuff is because the movie was designed for kids since most of the readers are kids. Do you really think they would make this an R movie. Kids would complain and the movie would be like 4-5 hours long to explain everything. I do disagree about the part when Roran leaves to get a job to support his betrothed Katrina in the book but in the move it says he leaves to join the army which the family hates in the book. Also they skip Terim where Brom meets up with one of the rebels which is his best friend. The second and third movies are going to be screwed up...

If anyone who watched it without reading the book it was an ok movie. I f by chance you did read the book and noticed that the plot of the book was not only screwed it was non existent and to make it worse it was the opposite of the book removing characters say for instance Jeod who is a major character not to mention they have to write a different script cause Roran pernounced Rora in the movie was Fd up in this role not to mention Eragon has brown hair as discribed in book 2. This movie should be banned and destroyed because it isn't a movie that has merrit in fact any movie made in the last 50 years could do better in fact the movie was compared to Lord of the Rings which means the movie should have been 2 or 3 hours long not barely enough to call it a movie which is the only reason Paolini agreed to the trash on screen, but the facte is the book isn't meant for 9 year olds it should be a iffy R movie where all the joy of the book was where all the language that is used in the book is cut out which makes it an a PG-13 movie even without language since there are injuries like in a real battle with blood time to put merrit in a movie not just money.
