Magic martial arts drama

It was originally thought that the film was based on a game of the same name from Little Japan. After checking, it turned out to be a novel adaptation of a trilogy, and it was advertised that it was comparable to the "Lord of the Rings." It seems that I am worried that there will be a script shortage in Hollywood. No, another money maker has turned out.
As a person who used to love games, the dragon in my mind is not just a Chinese legend, but a species setting in the "Dungeon and Dragon" series. The Japanese game "Drag On Gragoon)” the heart-pounding CG is still stored in the hard drive. Regrettably, there is no film and television work that I have impressed me with to describe the dragon knight. Even if the scene is magnificent like "The Lord of the Rings", the dragon is only used as a reconnaissance tool. The appearance of the film "Eragon" can be regarded as filling. Blank it.
As the propaganda said, the film is aimed at "The Lord of the Rings", but the poor box office may undermine the producers' confidence in making a sequel. As an epic blockbuster, there is no doubt that the film has all the elements, but it is not so simple to make the audience who are tired of watching the special effects agree. The first time I watched "The Lord of the Rings", I always felt that the pace was too slow and the plot development was too slow. Only when I reviewed it last time, I gradually realized the mental process of the protagonist's growth that the director wanted to show. The film is obviously too naive in this respect. The protagonist is like a character in a shoddy martial arts novel. His family has undergone drastic changes, adventures, and magical skills overnight, with heavy responsibility and revenge. It's too fast, so fast that people only remember the dragon, and ignore the growth of the protagonist. I believe the original book will never be so superficial. Perhaps it is the relationship between the director and the screenwriter's level, or the budget of the film. In short, the dazzling appearance of the film can hardly conceal the inner paleness. A three-hour director's cut version is almost the same.
If you think the film is too bad, the scenery in the film will make you feel a little more comfortable. At the end of the film, Avril Lavigne’s singing is also very pleasant.

Eragon quotes

  • Eragon: Stand up!

    Murtagh: [laughs] All my life I've dreamed of dragons.

    Eragon: Who are you, and why are you following us?

    Murtagh: I'm Murtagh, and you need me, Dragon Rider.

    Eragon: Thanks, but we're fine without you.

    Murtagh: You seek the Varden? I know the mountains, every valley and stream.

    [points to Arya, who is on the ground]

    Murtagh: She will suffer if you go astray.

    Eragon: [suspicious] Why would you risk your life for us?

    Murtagh: My family was slaughtered by the king's men when I was a boy. I heard rumors, they said a Rider had appeared. If there were ever a time for retribution, this was it.

    Eragon: If you can show me the quickest way to the Varden.

    Murtagh: Then to the Varden it is.

    Murtagh: [walks forward a few steps, then stops and turns to Eragon] You'll learn to trust me, Dragon Rider.

    [Saphira growls]

    Eragon: I'm not the only one you need to convince.

  • Brom: My story was about you, Eragon! It is your fate to be a Dragon Rider. The Varden need a Rider if they are to defeat Durza and the king.

    Eragon: I didn't ask for any of this!

    Brom: But you were chosen, nevertheless. A dragon will only hatch if it feels the presence of its Rider. It'll wait forever if it has to, but now it's found you. It'll serve you and only you, and that's put your life in danger.
