ERAGON (Theatrical Release USA 2006)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 1.7|5.0 Starsì

Eragon, based on the first book of four written by Christopher Paolini, seems to start like the Dragonheart movies and plays along fairly well until Eragon becomes involved with Arya. Instant mediocrity sets in. From that point, it’s a downhill slide to its concluding credits.
