I have to say that the eyes of the masses are sharp. The C+ on Yahoo! and the 5.1 of imdb fully demonstrate the quality of this film. The whole film The plot is the plot of a YY novel: a rural child in a remote area accidentally gets a dragon egg and hatches into a dragon, and from then on, he is involuntarily involved in the activities of rebelling against the reigning king, and under the guidance of the older generation of heroes, he quickly grows into a real The dragon knight also won the heart of the beautiful princess.
I haven't read the novel, but I have guessed the plot from the beginning of the film, so I was very impatient with the long section at the beginning explaining the growth process of the future hero, and I just waited. Look at the battle scene in the back. The king's army attacking the rebel base seems like Saruman attacking Helm's Deep, but the scene is too small and sloppy, only a little tower made of wood, the main battle is between Eragon and the shadow wizard Duel, and soon get pierced in the heart by our hero.
Eragon is nothing new from start to finish, the only good thing maybe is that it's less didactic, unlike Narnia in medieval crusader armor. The dragon is well-made, and it might cost half of the film's budget like the lion in Narnia. But the dragon in the film is very undignified, and the dragon that is the mount will die after the knight dies.
At the end of the film, it only kills The wizard, the king still didn't move. At the end, the king split the map, revealing a giant dragon behind the map, obviously planning to make a sequel; and there are many characters in this film that have not been explained, such as the protagonist who ran away from home to avoid conscription. His cousin, such as the son of a disgraced dragon knight father, looks like a sequel prequel could go on like Star Wars if it does well at the box office, but the current bleak box office will give Fox some peace of mind.
The only highlight of the film is Brom (played by Jeremy Irons, who I really liked after watching Elizabeth I) as a mentor, he used to be a dragon rider, but his mount was slaughtered by a renegade dragon rider (the father of the son), He chased and killed the enemy, and finally killed the enemy with the enemy's dragon-slaying sword, but the enemy's dragon died because of it. Since then, he has wandered around as a dragon knight without a dragon, telling imaginative boys in the village tavern. The story of a dragon from a long time ago, until one day the hatching of a new dragon awakened him, and he realized that the boy who listened to the story was a new generation of dragon knights, a thorn in the eyes of the evil king who was eager to get rid of it. He protected this all the way The boy, taught him fighting skills, taught him how to take care of dragons. In the end, he died for this boy's stupid behavior. I was a little touched when he died (another point was that when the boy and the wizard were fighting, he felt that the dragon Very poor, cruelty to animals. Jeremy Irons' role as mentor and Kingdom of Heaven, in which he is OB's father and mentor.
It is said that the Inheritance trilogy imitates The Lord of the Rings very seriously, and there are also some in the movie. Reflect. The scene of the "shadow" wizard Durza giving a pre-war speech encouraging the king's army to attack the rebels is reminiscent of Saruman, but the infectiousness is not a level. I don't know if the film spoiled the novel, or the novel was originally Not so much .
The last point, I don't know if LotR has caused a trend, the recent young heroes are all archers.
