I saw Eragon the movie today.  I liked it better than the Harry Potter movies.  The acting was much better than I expected.  No matter how corny I anticipated a scene to be, most of the characters, especially the main actor who played Eragon, Ed Speleers, managed to look cool.  In fact, the ironic thing is, the supposed anti-hero in the book, Murtagh, was played by a crappy actor.  Murtagh didn't come off as cool.  He seemed like he was trying too hard to be badass.

Since the budget for the movie was $125 million, I expected the special effects to be better.  Lord of the Rings had better special effects & their budget was around that, for ALL 3 movies.

If one can disregard the obvious similarities to Star Wars & Lord of the Rings, it's certainly an enjoyable movie.
