I must agree with you Kath...the German translation was just as cheesy...
Unlike LOTR there are many plotholes in the movie
I always wondered...if Eragon flew with his dragon all the way to the dark castle to save the Elvish girl, how did the older guy end up there in time to save him from the wizard...
and if Eragon didn't manage hitting the wizard before, how did he succeed in the end...no sense at all
and the fact that you can control just about anything in that world if you mumble something in Elvish also seems out of line...if this was the case why didn't the Elvish princess just say...rock or something and create a landslide over the enemies in the battle scene...
incredibly many plotholes if you take a close look...the best plotholes in Tolkien's case are the eagles and the Nazgul crossing the rivers...
Now many say it was a great achievement for his age...but still can't be compared to Tolkien's works
We have a Galadriel type monologue in the beginning telling the story of the dragon riders, but I didn't really like it either...the action started too soon, no real introduction into the story like the Party and Bilbo's disappearence
you can also see it lacked the budget of LOTR or Star Wars...
StarWars is just as cheesy and lacks any interesting dialogue usually but its eye-candy makes it legendary, whereas Eragon...isn't that good as far as special effects are concerned either
lastly Eragon seems pretty smart for a normal villager, not really what you would expect of a guy living in the middle of nowhere in a cottage
and finally, the scene where he kills the wizard is the worst...what was the chance that he would manage to hit him exactly through the heart without being killed first...0.1% maybe?
