The unnecessarily talky set-up names some of the different types of creatures in Alagaƫsia (bad Urgels and Ra'zac, mostly good humans), then goes on to describe Eragon's reactions and feelings, even when you can see them yourself. It's hardly a good sign that much of the back story must be narrated (by Irons) before the movie really begins. With plot points borrowed from a range of other movies - whether great like Star Wars or dismal like Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker - it tells the tale of an ordinary-seeming boy, Eragon, who's destined for great things. For a movie about flying dragons, ERAGON is disappointingly flatfooted.
