Boston Globe "Eragon" is the first in a planned series of movies based on Christopher Paolini's insanely popular fantasy novels, but it already feels tired. Wesley Morris

Chicago Tribune "Eragon" is a bit cheesy, but I rather liked it. It's sincere cheese. The dragon, Saphira, comes with goo-goo eyes that go beyond imposing and end up looking adorably ridiculous. Michael Phillips

San Francisco Chronicle The commercials for "Eragon" make the film look like a "Lord of the Rings" clone, but getting in the box-office line dressed as a hobbit or orc would be a huge faux pas. Peter Hartlaub

Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Eragon," the holiday movie season's only epic fantasy adventure, certainly gets no points for originality. It's such a clone of "The Lord of the Rings," it probably could lose a plagiarism suit. William Arnold

USA Today Eragon is moderately diverting escapism that will appeal to fans of the fantasy genre. Claudia Puig
