Dragon poop

Eragon (2006)

Based on the novel of the same name this film is directed by Stefen Fangmeier and stars Edward Speleers, Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich and the voice of Rachel Weisz. A young farm boy finds a dragon egg and ends up with a pet dragon to fight the evil king with.

It is pretty easy to see why no sequel was ever made to this film but how it got made with such a poor script is the real surprise. Nothing in the plot feels earned, what plot there is has little drive or direction, is highly generic and there is some decidedly dodgy dialogue towards the end. The production values are actually not that bad it is just a shame that the cast and crew had nothing to work with.

2/5
