Eragon Movie Review

There has been a lot of hype and excitement going around about the new movie Eragon. And rightfully so. This is an action packed, creative movie keeping you interested from the very beginning all the way to the exciting end.

Amazing graphic effects and a wonderful cast of characters. Including John Malkovich, Rachel Wiesz as the voice of Sephira the dragon, and Ed Speleers as Eragon the dragon rider.

The movie starts out telling you all about the land in which Eragon lives. What has happened to the land, and why there are no more dragons.

This wonderful fantasy-adventure film is the beginning of a young boys adventure into manhood. As he realizes his responsibilities and his destiny with the help of a dragon named Sephira.

The story is of destiny, choices, and of trust. For Eragon must make heart wrenching decisions on his journey to save his land and the people of it. The decisions he makes will not only endanger himself, but the lives of everyone else in the land.

While Eragon got a lot of mixed reviews, the critic reviews were mostly bad. Explaining that the books were much better than the movie, and that the makers of the movie should be ashamed of themselves for allowing it to appear in theaters.

I would have to disagree completely. Even if the movie didn't do justice to the books, what movie ever really does?
Hollywood has their very own twist and special effects to add to the movies, and besides it is a completely different person that makes the movie, than the person that writes the books. There is no way that the movie would be the same.

I feel that books are meant to let the reader experience and imagine their very own creative images of the described situations. If people had no room to imagine for themselves what would be the point in reading?

Everyone is not supposed to view things the same, that is what makes us all different. Maybe the movie was made as they saw how the book was described.

Now I've never read the books so I am not sure what was left out and what was changed, all I'm saying is that if the movie were made exactly as the books, for people that read the books would be disappointed anyway.
