Went to see Eragon last week, at Victoria’s request. I couldn’t help but notice the large numbers of similarities to Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. For example, Eragon was raised by his uncle, who is killed while Eragon is not at home, and then Eragon runs off with the local old coot, who turns out to be far more than he seems. This is the beginning of Star Wars, Ep. 4, where Luke heads out with Obi-Wan. (This is merely being pointed out for you youngsters who may not remember.) The creatures made of bugs and their leader who were hunting Eragon reminded me of the Nazgul and the Witch-King of Angmar from LOTR. While this movie was mildly entertaining, I did find myself doing head-nods towards the end.
