  • Book changed my life. Film made me want to burn everyone of the cast a blow my TV up!

  • If you had read the books (which, by the way, the movie is absolutely nothing like them) you would see that, while the first one is a bit Star Wars-y, they are actually fairly original. Also, though the first book was originally published by his parents company, mine quite clearly says "Knopf" on the side, not "Paolini International LLC" (his parents company)

  • That movie was awful. Just plain awful. That aside i never noticed the similarities until the scene with the sunset popped up on my screen. Haha completely ridiculous and obvious. But i still like the books. By the end of it all it goes in its own direction. Kinda.

  • Really, compare it to star wars! COME ON!!

  • Good video.. I've never considered Eragon to be akin to Star Wars. But when you consider it through the lense of "Hero With A Thousand Faces", or it's condensed, more utilitarian version, "Hero's Journey".

    And for those of you who--for apparent lack of literary knowledge-- think that he actually is praising the movie, you're quite incorrect. He seems to be comparing the movie Eragon with Star Wars for its value as a story which holds true to the same basic pattern to any epic or quest story e

  • The movie was fuckin' awful, books are decent though.

  • there is something seriously wrong with this man! he thought the movie was good? Obviously he never read the book!! the movie ruined the whole story! i wont even bother pointing out any of the many thing the screen writer got wrong it would just take to long. it was so bad i could hardly watch the whole thing! and to those of you who think the movie was good, read the book and you'll want to throw a rock at you tv next time it comes on! i think i got my point across -,-

  • Wat the hell. Star wars? Really!

  • The book is however quite a bit different from star wars unlike the movie which was just a different time period

    Oh yeah... "The Empire will strike back..." lol

  • Take this interview...

    Play it over the first star wars movie they made

    THE EXACT SAME THING

    I think the director might have an obsession with george lucas

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • At the very end of the credits he says it's a parody. No need to rage people.

  • you know it to be true.... wtf??!?!? BROM is not freaking evil!!!!! read the books!!!!

  • Mr. Black, you suck balls. You don't know anything about what you're talking about. Brom, whoops sorry, the old man, was not an "ancient knight" he was an undercover agent for the Varden, or the so called ancient knghts as you refer to them. Get things right before you go blurting them out.

  • He actualy isn't an orphan in the movie he has a father alive but im not going to spoil the 3 book for those who havnt read it get it right

  • Eragon, the Greatest Movie Ever? I can only suppose that it is a sarcastic title.

  • Comment removed

  • @Cowsgomooand1 Are you trolling? If you're not, then allow me to inform you that this guy was trolling fanboys like you.

  • All I can say is "HAHAHAHAHA"! GENIUS!

  • *spoiler*

    he's THE MURDERER OF the emperor's right hand man haha

  • The movie is terrible there's no escaping that. But the books get progressively better, Eragon at most 7/10, Eldest 8/10, Brisingr 9/10. (It just so happens to be counting up by one each time)

  • No it's not. It doesn't follow the book. It was a failure.

  • I just used my sarcasm measuring device on this video; it's over 9000.

  • lol the movie was shit. the movie riped of star wars then the book did. SPOILER SPOILER turns out Morzan isnt even his dad its brom obi wan wasnt lukes dad dont remember that in star wars.

  • Great book but the movie was terrible needs to be remade and done right

  • you are funny

  • Dr. Black invented the funny movie review, Nostalgia Critic barrowed the idear from Dr. Black...

  • @CyvatoPictures He is being sarcastic. Does there have to be a great big sarcasm sign? The creator of the video references dialogue from Star Wars, and incorporates theme music from the Star Wars movie. And he thinks that the book only got published because Chrissy's parents own a publishing company, as no sane publishing company would want to publish the piece of bullshit that is Eragon.

  • Eragon is an amazing book, but granted the film is an abomination 

  • @SkinnyWhiteGeorge I personalyl think the book is bullshit; I can't believe I wasted $50 on the Inheritance Cycle. But yes, we can both agree that the movie is an abomination.

  • Eragon was the one of the best Films I've ever Watched; tbh wish there was a second but There so many Freaks in this world hating so Fuck the World.

  • 1:16 I snorted with laughter the moment the background musical selection became identifiable. Brilliant timing on that. Absolutely brilliant.

  • I absolutely hated the book, it should have ended up on some obscure fan fiction website where it belongs, not published.

  • the book actually wasnt that bad. the 1st yeah you can kinda say thats a rip off but the otheres are actually original.

  • EPic book

    Crappy movie

    Amazing series

    Ruined by hollywood....

  • The Eragon books are decent. They are even intresting, and defeniatly not the worst in the genre.

    But the movie is some of the worst shit that have been produced the last decade.

  • holy shit.... incredible ripoff... must be the biggest sw ripoff ever.

  • this could have been so....much...better

  • it wasn't really well known when his parents published, it's just that it got noticed by a better publishing company who took over after they published it themselves

  • Oh and that's not his Father's Sword. Brom is Eragon's Father!!!

  • This guy is way to hung up on The Hero's Tale, I mean Homer, I mean Star Wars.

  • @MovieEragonProtector hehehehe, =)

    it's actually kind of fun, how much it resembles star wars... it would be interesting to see how many different themes can be attributed to that basic story (star wars is sci fi, eragon is fantasy, so how about crime noir? war films? comedy? romance? lol)

  • WOW! Somebody else actually remember Robot Jox.

    I feel so happy. (Tears)

    Thank you.

  • Watching the similarities this rip-off has with Star Wars hurts. >.< My eyes, my eyes...!

  • How is it a Star Wars rip off? It reminds me nothing of it. Anyway, I love the books, but the film just.....it just.........Rrrrrargh! * Hurls himself from his seat onto the table, reaching for the producer by the collar slapping him unconscious before being restrained back into his seat by people....Excuse me for that... Like I was saying, the film shattered me. Key points were abandoned, good actors were wasted, Arya had no elf features, I could go on. Should've called in Michael Bay for it.

  • Look at this way though..of course a kid at that age is going to use his influences in his own type of way. I agree that the movie was more of a Saturday afternoon Sci-Fi channel watch, but I still give the kid kudos for combining his influences and putting them all together in not one book but 3. Besides, what parent isn't going to publish their own kids book. Not saying it should have been a movie.

  • this is great, it made me laugh xD

    the whole thing with eragon looking at the sunset--its like the director was making fun of his own project, about how similar the story is to star wars

    ech eragon itself is just so original =/ i dont always mind when ideas are recycled, but refresh the concepts, twist them, give them something new!! dont set it in a different world and give everything a different name and call it good.

    ohh its just sad....

  • Brom didn't get killed by Durza but by the raz'ac

  • The best review ever made.

  • The Movie sucks dick. The Books amazing.

  • The movie was good but left out a lot of important things and places they were at they could have made eldest and brisingr sequals if the movie makers weren't high on crack half of the time, come on saphira flying out in the sky and coming back fully grown and able to talk What the fuck were you thinking . IN CONCLUSION movie had almost nothing to do with the book and the books were fucking epic Period.

  • *Cough* Star Wars Rip Off *Cough*

  • ever hear of sarcasm?

  • Good news a remake is in the process. It is going to come out in two parts much like Harry potter. Ps the drogons no longer have feathers. Dwarfs are dwarfs and urgls are urgls.

    I am makeing laytex costume pices

  • should have just named this film Episode 7: The Plagerism.

  • I LOLed so much watching this vid!! :D Awesome job!

  • I liked the book, but the film sucked crap. And I have to admit, the book pretty much rips off Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings. Still, it was a good read. *waits for the down reps*

  • Lol, the movie was bad as hell - either the script's or the director's fault, because there were a couple of quality actors in there - but all the unoriginality is Paolini's fault, as he wrote the original book.

    But I must admit, the movie was even worse than the book... how they accomplished that, I have no idea.

    It must have had something to do with the football players in war paint trying to be Urgals.

  • I heard it was the director's first movie...now he is known as the ABOMINATION! And technically, paolini was done writing it at 19, not 16!

    CP ripped off dune, SW and lotr

  • im a moron, ive read the books multiple times, and never seen the connection to starwars LOLOLOL

  • Has George Lucas sued already?

  • nope

  • Comment removed

  • He's wearing a Star Wars tie!

  • interesting

  • Lol, the best part of this is the Starwars music.

  • umm at the end of eldest murtagh explains that morzan is thier father so your wrong too!!!!!!

  • actually, eragons father is brom, as it says in brisingr.morzan is murtaghs father,but eragon and murtagh have the same mother

  • Some people haven't read that far, and may want to be surprised. Please think before posting spoilers.

  • 'Though that does kinda poke a hole in this argument. doesn't it?

  • no thats the herb terragon!!!!

  • "Hi, I didn't see you come in !"

    That's also in the series Ask That Guy WiTth The Glasses.

    Coincidence ? I don't think so.

  • Hate to break it to you, but this was made before Ask that guy...

  • Did I say the contrary ?

  • He's being sarcastic

  • okay cool

  • it is the best movie evar!!!!!

  • hes being sarcastic you fucking retard

  • Hey but guess what if your read Brisingr you find out that Brom is Eragon's father, not Galbatorix douch bag! You can't compare the book series with others until you read the entire series!!

  • LOL! Brilliant analysis of this *cough cough* original work.

    "Look at that fortress! I dunno about you, but I have a BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS."

  • hahahahahehehehahahahaha....ye­ah Eragon sucks even more than Harry Potter....

  • and thats the main reason why there isn't made sequel?

  • dude movie sucks

    didnt even watch vid just wanted to comment. Movie left out twins which means murtahg didnt turn bad.

  • Freaking sweet dude! Genius with the background music! Couldn't help but laugh at it!

  • ahha i love you

  • this movie looks amazing almost as good as starship troopers 2. XD LOL!!!!

  • It's not true; read the third book.

  • wow, simply amaing, erogon sux, rofl

  • why is there star wars music in this clip?

  • because its a star wars ripoff

  • I have also some points:

    Eragorn didn´t get the scar which was the entire seckond eragorn books plot.

    Saphira had feathered wings! FEATHERED!!?? She is a dragon for fuck sake!!

    The razacs should leven after the seckond book!! He killed them in the movie!!! Sucks ass!

    Eragorn gave saphira milk instead of meat?? How is that soo hard to make when you are making a film!!

    There were no epic dwarf city or dwarfs!!! Lol There was some wooden shit.

  • Totally. Feathers on the dragon's wings. THAT is why this movie sucked. No doubt about it.

  • Do I detect irony in your comment? oO

  • @GreatestMovieEverMad its not that strange many dragons in both films and games had feathered wings.not all are the classic bat-like wings dragons

  • @GreatestMovieEverMad atleast the books gained originality after each book, and alot of the originality was cut/not included in the film such as: the guy that murtagh killed

  • @GreatestMovieEverMad the book was good, the movie is dog shit from hell. The only thing they got right was the names

  • @theunsanereaper No saphiras wings are made of a thin membrane.. Fuckwit

  • @theunsanereaper the part where i pretty much gave up was in the beggining when the two brothers start fighting like 10 yo. i laughed and said "There is no way this movie is gonna be good"

  • books are good

    the movie was so bad i could rant about it for about a week by that time i would have gone over the entire story and told who ever was bored and decided to listen that every second of it was rubbish

    a few points:

    there never was some giant bat thing druza rode on

    saphara never grew up magicaly in a few seconds

    where are the dwarfs they play a very important role in the story

    those are just a tiny amount of the list of problems with the movie

    dont make eldest unless you remake it

  • ya eragon and star wars have some similar stuff

  • the book rocked, the movie was the worst thing ever created, period

  • when he says it like that it sounds like, oh i dont know, uhm, maybe STAR WARS!!!

  • the movie felt like to me a diffent story with the names from the book slapped on, I mean ayra was a quiet person and push eragon away like 100 times What the HELLLLLLL!!!!!

  • the sunset scene and music was hilariously done!!

    awesome work!

  • If u read the third book it reveals that Brom is his father

  • is eragon like... did the movie finish???

    or is there gunna b more???

  • The book was good, the movie sucked

  • haha wow i never realized here were so many connections...

  • are u kidding me eragon was one of the worst movies ever sooo boring

  • Win, win, win.

    And I liked very much that... "TIE" *snicker* ahhahahaha! get it? As in... hehe "TIE fighter"? Because.... heh... uh..... um, yeah.

  • if you read and love the books...youll see the movie as a dissapointment, but still love it.

  • For all the people who say "oh Eragon is too much like star wars", well, maybe you'd like to know that a lot of stories are similar to star wars. That's because star wars was meant to be a simple story! Ever hear of the book "A Hero With a Thousand Faces"? Star Wars is based off of the basic direction of a legend, just like Eragon! But what makes them great is the content, and I don't know about you, but too me Paolini did a pretty good job.

  • Name ONE other story that has the same EXACT point-by-point-by-point kind of similarities Eragon has with Star Wars. Dune? The Sword and the Stone? The Lord of the Rings? The Gilgamesh Epic? They arent all exactly the same because they aren't RIPOFFS like Eragon is.

  • Lord of the rings came out before star wars retard boy

  • So did every single thing I mentioned. You obviously missed the entire point of mine and kungdudes posts, genius.

  • the books bur not the movies

  • Fantasy Wars.

  • ha ha funny but the third book really took it away from star wars, and alot of the problems were with movie. lol

  • lmfaooo too true

    nicely put.

  • After so many books have been published, something like this was bound to happen.

    Its just a shame that such a great series turned out to be so much like another, incredibly popular series.

  • Yeah about the ending...Brom is Eragons father, sorry. guess you'll have to edit that part out.

    But anyway, i get it. its alot like star wars. the movie sucked but the books are good.

  • That proves the book's originality. Not the Imperator's right hand or the imperator himself but the other last jedi...i meant dragon rider is Lu..Eragon's father. I havent read the new book yet but i'm sure the rebellion..or the elven armee will attack the empire. But there's no death star...

  • Of course Brom is Eragon's father, now.

  • You...you really don't get sarcasm do you?

  • Don't be stupid.

    Star Wars was different. Remember that scene in return of the jedi when look fought the giant lizard thing? This movie didn't have a giant lizard!

    Oh...uh...

  • Why does anyone think this book is at all like star wars? the characters have entirely different names

  • i hated the book, and hate the movie even more...

    stupit rich kid whos book got publish becaurse his parents see his "talent"

    oh yeah,they OWN the publish company....

  • @disk3001 i know it depresses me that such things can happen in this world

  • @disk3001 They do? That would explain why I saw a lot of typos in the second book. I was trying to figure out if they did that on purpose. Don't they have to reread the story over before putting it out on the market?

  • a lot like star wars but a good book. TERRIBLE MOVIE CAN SUCK MY DICK!!!

  • Definitely favorited. I love the use of the SW music.

  • OORAH to Jeremy Irons!

  • lol, I salute you, sir.

  • hahaha owesome review, are there wookies in Eragon ?

  • Of course! robot jox and eragon, why didn't I see it before!?

  • eragon the book is good. movie left out alot of stuff that made it seem like other stuff that it really wasnt.

  • no, wrong

  • oh ya explain how im wrong

  • sure it was a ok movie but it could be much better the book is 1000X beter

  • this movie is a peace of shit

  • I personally hated the movie, they skipped out way too much.

  • FAVORITED

  • I love your tie man, I got the same tie hanging up in my room.

  • eragon is BAD!!!

  • XD zomg your right it is like star wars i never saw that XD rofl

  • I couldn't sit through ten minutes of it. Not because it was a rip-off. But the main villain acted worse than the Crusader: No Remorse actors.

  • A copy of Starwars. Not again

  • never watched it. now i know why. what a ripoff haha

  • Dr. Black, you are truly my hero. You won't be buying your own beer in Atlanta if I have anything to say about it.

  • I might hold you to that if I ever get to Atlanta.

  • The acting in Eragon was horrible. Plus, why did they go for a PG-13 rating? The book is meant for teenagers

  • the rating was actually PG if I remember right XD

  • That was a typo. I meant why did they make a PG rated movie of a teen book?

  • oh heh well I was told that they made it more for little boys or something along those lines, which is really disappointing; they should have at least made it a 3hr epic

  • I hated Eragon.........Nothing else to say really

  • OH COMEON! Lol. That's a nice bit of coincidence right there, Sherlock.

  • Gee, I wonder what movie it could be, lol. STAR WARS RULEZ!!!

  • LOL I love how you had Star wars music playing! xD

  • HAHAHA, really really great!

  • wow that some very "original Storyline he has there" hint hint this just screams starwars rio off

  • Saw the author in an interview and he seemed really really REALLY impressed with himself and what he wrote so I pretty much skipped on this one but having seen this review... well... I feel even more justified in skipping this one. Thank you :)

    YOu have to do BATTLEFIELD EARTH!

  • dude I love your tie. :D

  • LMAO

  • aye, i have always thought that the movie was a. Star Wars Meet Lord of the Rings. movie

  • Freaking hilarious, man. Every time that Star Wars music starts I almost die laughing. It's just too bad that George Lucas can't take that Paolini or whatever the Hell his name is kid to court.

  • Damn fool CRUSADE! Damn fool CRUSADE!
