Not as good as the books. They hardly showed Eragon formally learning magic at all, and didn't invest enough time into the writing and pacing to make me love these people. In fact, perhaps the most emotional bonding scene in the whole movie happens like 10 minutes in, between Eragon and his brother / cousin
The special effects are definitely a strong point, though. And the soundtrack at the end is very nostalgic for me personally, as an Avril Lavigne fan
Still, overall, I can't recommend this adaptation that highly; please read the books instead
3.5 / 6 stars
