cried at the camera. He smiled at the camera. By the end of the movie I could remember every single feature of his not-really-that-cute-anyway face. In fact, I can still remember it after having seen it quite awhile ago. It's etched into my mind and will probably remain there forever.

Now, I understand that it is mainly meant to be a kiddie movie. These things probably wouldn't matter to an audience of children. But the movie was long- too long. The dialog was boring. The acting was horrible. It's the same mistake in every single fantasy and action movie. They focus too much on filling it up with crazy languages and long drawn out histories instead of adding some lines that the audience can actually connect with. Take Star Wars for instance. At least that had some really crappy jokes that we could jeer at. Eragon gave us no help whatsoever. Even avid book readers got lost at some points, got bored, got fed up with how much the movie differed. My friend kept questioning why some very important parts of the book weren't included. "No wonder you got lost! They didn't show the steps leading up to that!"

Frankly, the bar has been lowered a lot over the past year alone when it comes to this movie genre. Look at my friend- she's lowered her expectations so much that she thinks Fantastic Four was brilliant.
