It is unclear if her use of magic is for good or evil. Although the evil minions of Galbatorix are credited with being processed by demons, a fortuneteller using enchanted dragon claws to tell EragonвЂ™s future is accomplished with an ambiguous motive. The book definitely delves into a world of magical forces, blurring the line of good and evil magic. As in the book, the film likewise divulges about as much character development as a fifteen year old boy would be interested in, and which probably isnвЂ™t enough for the average viewer. The film, based on the bestselling book written by fifteen year old Christopher Paolini, sticks pretty much to the plot, which looks a little too much like вЂњStar WarsвЂќ in a вЂњLord of the RingsвЂќ setting. Along the way, Eragon, gets in tune with his dragon, Saphira, learns ancient magic, rescues Ayra. Eragon and Brom make haste to join alliance with the Varden, an army of lone holdouts, to fight against GalbatorixвЂ™ evil empire who live in a hidden city carved out of an enormous hole in a mountain. When EragonвЂ™s stepfather is murdered and his home destroyed by GalbatorixвЂ™ evil henchmen, the creepy crawly raвЂ™zac, Eragon flees for his life with his mentor, Brom ( Jeremy Irons).

Fate has another plan when he discovers he is the вЂњchosenвЂќ heir of the dying legacy of dragon riders who have been all but eliminated by the former dragon rider and present dictator, Galbatorix ( John Malkovich). Eragon (Edward Speelers) is a seventeen year old boy with his life pretty well mapped out, plowing potatoes during harvest time being the highlight of the year. A boy might get a little bored growing up in a small farm village, but when a giant blue dragon wants to be your best friend, things change in a hurry.
