Movie Notes: Eragon
Eragon is a kid’s flick, based on a children’s book. Like many modern films, the CGI special effects and the story are decent, but almost everything else fails horribly. For starters, the look is shamelessly derivative of The Lord of The Rings trilogy. There are evil assassins that look much like orcs or Nazgul, and even the actress cast as the elf lady (Sienna Guillory) is a poor hybrid of Cate Blanchette and Liv Tyler. The main magician baddie Durza looks like Grima Wormtongue, and there’s even a scene where he commands a vast army from up above that if there was any justice, would evoke a WETA lawsuit.
