eragon

eragon is a story about a boy, almost a young man, that finds an egg wile out hunting in mid-evil times in the realm of an evil king. The egg, of course, turns out to be a dragon egg.

The cast turns out to be a very good one indeed. Eragon is played by Ed Speleers, he plays the part very well and makes this farm boy turned Dragon-Rider a believable concept. Sienna Guillory, playing Arya the other world princess, is a epitome of goodness and light. Jeremy Irons is the power player in this cast. He plays the, one-time Dragon-Rider, that lost his dragon to a foe.

The connection between the Dragon and Dragon-Rider is classic. They learn to help each other. They team up with Brom (Irons) and the rebels. They, of-course, win out in the end over the evil empire.

The rating on this movie is PG, but it is a bit brutal for the young. I can see a kiddo that is less then 8 or so having serious nightmares over this one. For the preteen and the teenagers this is a great good over evil movie.

The special effects are fantastic and very realistic. The magic that is done is top of the line. The story line is a bit predictable, but still entertaining.

Overall I have to give it 4 of 5.
