The early Eragon reviews are coming in, and let’s just say they’re not as good as I was hoping for. You’ve got to understand that I’m a Sci-Fi and Fantasy movie nut, so every time one comes out I hope that it’s amazing. Add on top of that the fact that I LOVE this cast. But, you can’t win them all… and so far the critics aren’t loving this thing at all.
Here is what some of the critics are saying in their Eragon reviews:
“Eragon is based on a book by a 19-year-old with a script that seems to have been written by a 12-year-old.”
Phil Villarreal Arizona Daily Star“Eragon – that’s Dragon with an E (instead of a D), or Era Gone, without the E. Both are wordplays that perhaps give a clue to the workings of the 15 year old author’s mind.”
Urban Cinefile“A load of generic mush perhaps best served as a piece of bitchin’ ’70s van art.”
Andrew Wright
And it’s not just these guys. Many film pundits who have seen this flick aren’t exactly giving it rave reviews at the moment. No one seems to HATE this movie… but not many seem to like it either. As of this moment Eragon is holding a 40%… yikes. I hope that number picks up. I’m seeing it tonight.
