Eragon, a poor farm boy,
lives in Alagaesia, a kingdom ruled by
Galbatorix (John Malkovich), a powerful but evil
monarch. One day, Eragon discovers a beautiful
stone that he soon realizes is a dragon's egg.
When the dragon hatches, Eragon sets forth on a
path that could restore the glory of his
homeland's legendary Dragon Riders and perhaps
overthrow Galbatorix. Based on the novel by
Christopher Paolini.

Atlanta
Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
"More family
friendly than a soaring fantasy."

Boston Globe
Wesley Morris |
"...the first
in a planned series of movies based on
Christopher Paolini's insanely popular
fantasy novels, but it already feels tired."

Michael Phillips |
"...a bit
cheesy, but I rather liked it."

Luke Y. Thompson |
"As a shadowy
sorcerer, Robert Carlyle is stuck with a
makeup job that wouldn't pass muster on
Star Trek..."

Kyle Smith |
"As for the
look of the dragon, I've seen scarier sock
puppets."

New York
Times
Jeannette Catsoulis |
"...this
boy-and-his-dragon fantasy set in a land
bristling with Tolkienesque nomenclature and
earnest British actors is as lacking in
fresh ideas as Tim Allen's manager."

D- |
San
Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub |
"...provides a
much-needed afternoon of PG-rated
family-friendly adventure."

B |
Seattle
Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold |
"At 104
minutes, it's more than an hour shorter than
the first Rings installment, with
none of its unity and stand-alone
satisfaction."

USA Today
Claudia Puig |
"It's a
pleasant enough fantastical adventure, but
it does feel naggingly derivative."
