Eragon: Looking for an example of AWFUL screenwriting skills – look no further. This film is shallow in every sense of the word. From the characters, to the plot, to the way each scene seems rushed through. You are given no time at all to like the young hero, even though his acting skills may have blocked that as well. John Malkovich’s role is reduced to a cameo and the idea to have Rachel Weisz voice the dragon is wrong in so many ways. It is a shame too, because the movie has some very interesting ideas. Eragon is a young farm boy who finds a dragon egg – the last in the world. He raises the dragon and becomes her rider. He goes on to join the rebels as they fight the evil king of the land. The Idea sounds good, can’t say the same for the execution – shame on you filmmakers!

Rachel Weisz's voice over for the dragon is the only solid piece of acting this film has.
