Eragon

A curio of a kind that adds up nowhere to the Dragon stories... rendered useless..
The story of a boy, destined to fight evil and retrieve the days of the dragon and the dragon rider. The amalgam rides short of its depiction, making this 'fantastical journey', into a babble of cliches. The story indeed falls short of a flow and has a rather hap-hazard line to it.
Even the costumes for that matter, are not in tandem with the context of the film, where Eragon is seen in well-finished leather pants and contemporary styled cotton shirts.

An amateurish representation, that wastes the talent of John Malkovich and Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty). The archetype of fighting evil and good winning the battle however is due to get extended to a sequel, which is an intolerable proposition. Hence my suggestion: Don't even think of watching it!
