Eragon (2006) (4/10)

Using something "extra"-ordinary to try getting special appeal is what this movie does with dragons. But its already an old tool. Harry Potter inc. has used it in the recent past. The war scenes between the "good" and the "bad" sides are LotRingy, but not as good as its fraction. The characters do not stand out. The story has nothing exciting about it. Given that, it is well made and will keep small children's attention for the most part as it is fairly fast paced with some magic, recklessness and resulting twists thrown in. You hardly get to see the king in action, but clearly he is being reserved for sequeals, as is another character introduced in the movie.
