(1 - 28) of 28 OFCS Rating: 11% Rotten Page   1   D "It's mostly just a bunch of actors trying to look involved while attempting to act through their bad wigs and Studio 54 reject outfits."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf "Eragon offers a basic boy-and-his-talking-dog sort of set up, complicated by Eragon's stubbornness and Malkovich's typically oddball line readings."   Common Sense   Cynthia Fuchs 2/5 "At a recent screening of 'Eragon,' a woman lamented, 'It's like a teenage guy wrote this.' She was right."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 1.5/4 "Stop me if you've heard this one before..."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman C- "If you took all the dragon-centered movies ever made, and counted the good ones on your fingers, I bet you'd still have enough fingers left over to flip off Eragon as you walked laughing from the theater."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C- "Essentially a repeat of the first episode of Star Wars dropped into a Lord of the Rings context...comes across as plodding and rather dull."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1.5/4 "Why has 20th Century Fox released this embarrassment - whose quality would be dubious for a direct-to-video release - into theaters?"   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "George Lucas should sue their sorry plagiarist asses. . ."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 4/10 "Click here to read review."   Kinoblog.com   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 4/10 "The feeling of a rip-off is so blatant that it practically ends all other discussion of the movie."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 2/5 "Like the book, the movie lacks originality, while also featuring weak characters, no rhythm, run-of-the-mill dialogue, and cheap looking action. Lovely."   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 2/5 "As my companion dourly noted, "I just paid $30.00 to see Star Wars." (And yes, that's matinee pricing and all I had was a water.) But wow, great effects, seriously."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 1.5/5 "Director Stefan Fangmeier would have been better off following the cliff-hanging, lucidly written action scenes by [Christopher] Paolini."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner 2/5 "more than a Star Wars rip-off... The only thing missing here is a Chewbacca"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 2/5 "Para una obra de más de quinientas páginas, hay demasiada ligereza en la cinta..."   Cinenganos   Luis Martinez D "Earnestly acted and directed, Eragon has neither the visual dazzle nor narrative momentum to compensate for its cut-rate fantasy mimicry."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[N]ary a thing of any substance differs from the Gospel of Luke, except here be dragons instead of landspeeders and X-wing fighters and the Han Solo is really lame..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1/4 "I wish that I could push aside a filing cabinet somewhere and crawl through a secret passageway into Malkovich's brain for 15 minutes, just so I could learn what he was thinking when he signed on for this movie."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- "The strength comes from the 15-year-old author's conviction and enthusiasm for the story but the weakeness comes from its key elements being renamed rather then re-imagined."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1/4 "Eragon's fantastical milieu may be third-class Lord of the Rings, but its story--in what may constitute the most shameless act of plagiarism known to American cinema--is pure Star Wars."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "Basicamente mergulhando a trama de Star Wars no universo de J.R.R. Tolkien, Eragon traz anões, elfos, humanos, dragões, feiticeiros e Vaders (ops... Vardens) envolvidos em incidentes que são um verdadeiro bê-á-bá do gênero fantasia."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 0.5/5 "Laughably bad, mind-bogglingly derivative, and easily one of the worst movies of the year."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3/5 "An enjoyably bad movie."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline D "God help us, there's going to be a director's cut, isn't there?"   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux C+ "While it offers nothing new, it gets a passing grade because it does have some interesting characters, brought to life by some top-notch acting talent."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 1.5/5 "You'll probably spot eight or nine different pieces of uncredited source material as the garish smear of Eragon washes over you."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg 2/4 "Swap dragon riders with the Jedi, Galbatorix with Darth Vader, Brom with Obi-Wan and what have you got? Plagiarism."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell 0/4 "Fears that Fangmeier's debut would be the sequel to Dragonheart nobody wanted prove unwarranted. It's the sequel to BloodRayne that nobody wanted."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 28) of 28 OFCS Rating: 11% Rotten Page   1
