Eragon the Movie

I watched this movie last night and had great hopes for it. Yes I am still a kid and the idea of dragons still is exciting and entertaining to me. The other reason I was excited about this movie is because I have read both of the books in the Inheritance trilogy. The third book isn't published yet, but when it comes out I will read it. The books are excellent and I highly recommend them. The movie is good and I recommend watching it, especially if you haven't read the books. The movie leaves things out that I thought were crucial to the story. Basically, the movie is about a tyrant who now controls a once peaceful and prosperous land. Before he became king, the land was ruled by dragon riders and their dragons. He lead a revolt and killed all the riders and dragons (you kill the rider and the dragon dies as well). Anyway, Eragon is the hero of the story, but has a long way to go. I included the trailer for the movie so you can judge for yourself it you want to see it. I give this movie a 7. Decent family movie. I give the books a 10 rating. The imagination is so much better and more powerful than anything Hollywood can produce.
