Well, I have read many comments before I decided to put my own opinion for this movie. Most of the comments are from people who read the novel in advance before watching the movie. Therefore, I'd like to give you all an input from someone who had no idea what Eragon is about.
Story-wise, it has a lot of potentials and could have been filmed much better. As an audience, I feel like the production was rushed and comprised it into only 100 minutes. Take an example from Harry Potter or LOTR, in which the movies are based on novels as well, they have a longer period to let the audience get the feeling of HP or LOTR's worlds. However, Eragon does not have this most essential factor. Thus, the audiences were kicked around and pushed them to follow a ridiculous pace.
The fast pace is also affecting the characters' developments. Thus for instance is that Eragon can change from a complete loser into hero in one night. This is a joke and insult for the audience.
I'd say the weakest points for Eragon are the main character himself and the retarded-pace. Some of the jokes were dry, but it is still understandable.
Eragon, as a farm boy, found a mysterious 'stone' in a restricted jungle when he was hunting. The moment he touched the stone, his fate was about to change.
