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 believe it is too scary (some scenes) for young children. My 13 year old found the bad guys quite evil looking. Use caution- we can not erase what we see

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.

wow i saw this movie but it was so violent. So I would give it a PG-13

Our entire family thought it was okay, I think that they cut out WAY too much of the book and made up a lot of the facts! Like Saphira just doesn't disappear into the clouds and come back half grown! I mean it just became unrealistic! My daughter liked it when she was about 7, but when she watched again she thought it wasn't as great and with each watch she thought it was worse and worse! If you have absolutely nothing to watch and you are bored out of your mind you can watch this movie, but do not buy it! :D

despite what critics say about the film, i thought it was wonderful! the plot is a little cliche, yes. but the special effects provided that extra something that made up for what it lacked. everybody i know who saw the movie as well wanted to see more...hoping for a sequel. i hear the book is out called "Eldest", which is the sequel. but i can only hope that the studios decide to turn it into a movie as well. i, as well as many of my friends, do not have the time to read a novel, let alone watch a 2-3 hour film. PLEASE make the sequel into a film! us movie watchers want to know what happens next!!

I absolutly loved 'Eragon' as a book. It was full of adventure, humor and love. The movie...where do I begin? Even if I had never read the book, it seemed too jump all over the place. I really believe more of the story could have been involved in the movie. So many characters were not included, and they play a vital role in the books. I know that the directors can change story lines, and that the movie is just "based" off of the book. But the story was magnificent and its always a welcome when a great book can be reflected on screen.

So not for kids under 8 or 6.
