Review on Eragon's DVD

Advantages: Insights on a different world
Disadvantages: Characters can be more developed

...the Lord of The Rings, Eragon has been able to invoke a revitalized interest on the topic of dragons. With enhanced cyber graphics and savvy sound effects and light backdrops, this show has rocked me to my core. Never before had such a DVD ever made such a lasting impression on me. Magic, swordsmanship, the ancient lore of combat is all encompassed in this DVD and shows the fight of Eragon as he braves the forces of evil. A cool and exciting revelation! ...

Don't mess with me _ I've got a pet dragon

Advantages: Fun fantasy, good cast, great FX
Disadvantages: Some wooden performances, disappointing direction

He embarks on a journey to find a gang of rebels known as the Varden, accompanied by an old soldier, Brom, and his dragon, Saphira. I am not keen to reveal a great deal more of the plot, for I think it is nice in a film such as this for the viewers to come across ...
...Eragon's homeland, named Alagaesia. The land is one of fantasy, under the rule of King Galbatorix, to all intents and purposes an evil King who is a Dragon Rider himself. Galbatorix is aided by his right hand man, the evil Durza, a terrifying Shade (sorceror) who possesses immense magical powers. The King's army is made up of creatures as well as men, along with special assassins known as the Razac, vile creatures! Fighting against this tyranny is ...
