I read overwhelmingly negative reviews of this movie.
But, I'll rent it.

It was pretty crappy, Damon. It differs wildly from the book, which in and of itself wasn't a terribly imaginative read. But, if the film had been more closely adapted, it would have been loads better.

The effects on Saphira were quite nice, and probably the only redeeming factor of the film. It'd be great to examine her in all her detailed scaly Blu glory!! :P

No doubt it bombed at the box office but more importantly this a day and date release. Apparently Night at the Museum will be also. Kudos to Fox.

I have not seen the movie yet, but with the special effects, I thought it might be good to purchace on BD. Any reviews?

Thanks HDJK, good looking out!

phranctoast · 03-20-2007, 04:38 PM

i found the movie to be terrible, but i think it because the butchered the book beyond recognition. I dont know how they are going to make the rest of the trilogy of movies when this one was so bad...!!!

TBoneCapone · 03-20-2007, 04:43 PM

No doubt, I will not be buying it now. Thanks for the heads up.

i thought the same it was so bad that i actruly spent like 3 hours writing a letter to this one place(but to make this movie properly it is almost impossible)

brett_day · 03-17-2008, 04:50 PM

I love this movie! I am baffled by all the bad reviews this movie got. Okay the acting is maybe not the bestm but it is certainly not the worst and i thought the conversion to Blu was pretty awesome! Does anyone else here like this film? I hope they make a sequel!

Galactus · 03-17-2008, 04:55 PM

yah, I love this movie and theres gonna be two more sequels from what i hear i hope they make'em soon.

chasarms · 03-17-2008, 04:55 PM

I took my sons to see it. I thought it was pretty good. The special effects were very good. The story was OK. It looked to be set up for a part 2. I doubt we'll see it.

I wouldn't buy it on BD.

well i would, the movie may not be LOTR but it was a good movie none the less.

kurtlingle · 03-17-2008, 05:05 PM

I liked it.

I think it could have been much better - they had 100 million to spend!

That said, my 2 sons just love Eragon and we bought it on DVD last year. Eventually we'll replace with the BD.

phranctoast · 03-17-2008, 05:06 PM

The books were great. Eragon and Eldest. The Third still hasnt been made.

The movies isnt terrible if you havent read the books. The movie was just so mediocre. They changed a lot from the books. It was also only an hour and a half. you rarely have decent book to movie translations in that amount of time.

robgmun · 03-17-2008, 05:06 PM

It was a sence for sence rip-off of star wars, i just sat there opened mouthed at the sheer cheek of it!!

I'm w/you. I liked it alot, was entertained, and have watched it several times. A sequel would be great. Thats my opinion.

SethRex · 11-18-2011, 01:16 AM

I know that many don't like this movie. But for those that do, like me, I think this needs a proper BD50 release with some actual special features. A nice remaster with the AVC codec would also be nice. It may not be the most successful domestically, according to Boxofficemojo, but worldwide it could be considered a moderate success. I'd say a good re-release would do it alright.

Tom Hiddleston · 11-18-2011, 01:22 AM

Never gonna happen. Not enough money to be had with a rerelease. Personally I'd rather see a sequel to Eragon than a rerelease, just IMO.
