very credible.īasically average joe with extreme plot armor anointed by prophecy to save the day. This was a waste of the talents of Jeromy Irons, John Malcovitch and others - all putting in a fine performance on the script of this very poorly plotted story.Ĭlueless farmboy with no combat skill save a minor one with bow and less common sense - becomes hero in a land of wizards that launch fire and teleport and consort with demons.

In short, the movie should be described as VERY loosely based on the books. I'm almost torn about John Malkovich playing Galbatorix, because he's quite possibly, in my opinion, one of the worst actors ever, and I cannot take him seriously. The only redeeming quality for me would have been that Jeremy Irons played Brom, but only if he were true to the book's character. The timeline was totally wrong, and the characters were nothing like Christopher Paolini's, in looks or in actions. Often, movie adaptations of books fall flat of expectations but this one. I can only imagine how the author felt after the world and lives that he wonderfully created were diminished so. Now that I've read the books, it's an utter disgrace. It was bright and fantastical, if a little cheesy.
I'm pretty sure that back in 2006 I thought this was a fairly good movie. Unfortunately, the people behind the movie failed to deliver. I'm happy for Christopher Paolini in that his book was opted for film not long after being published, which speaks to its potential.
