Eragon

I have seen posters of Eragon at Lillestrøm cinema for multiple months, and wasn't really looking forward to the movie. The posters were screaming to you that the movie was just another attempt to make something like Lord of the Rings. In addition the name Eragon, which can be compared to the character name Aragorn in Lord of the Rings did not bettered the situation. However, in order to avoid a Friday evening sitting at home, I and friend of mine gave it a chance. I tried to reduce my expectations of the movie to let it get a chance. And it managed to survive, and I will give it 4/3 of 6 points. But still, we have to remember that after watching Lord of the Rings-movies, things will not be the same again. If you watch any movie in the same category, you always compare it to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and it required a lot to beat the trilogy.

Books cannot always be filmed, and it requires a lot of hard work from screenplay writer. In this case, the dialogues in the movie are too boring, and there is nothing new about them.

The special effects in the movie are produced by well known companies which also produced effects for Lord of the Rings and Jurassic Park. The effects he are not realistic, and many times you will see that there are animations and not real stuff.

And one thing for the public in Oslo; your Eldorado cinema sucks! The public there is so-called fjortiss independent of their real age. There were lots of adults there who were talking during the movie, and behaved like worse than children.

However, all to all, boring start of the movie, but managed to keep up with some good effects at the end, therefore:

Rating: 4/3 of 6
