A farm boy comes across a dragon egg that apparently he was destined to find, to later become the dragon's rider. His quest takes him to battle against an evil king with a large resistance.
I'm gonna call this "Lord of the Rings Light" because it has many of the fantastical components, just not done as well by a first-time director. Twentysomething Christopher Paolini has a good imagination, but not quite that of Tolkien's. Nonetheless, the cast was strong, the visuals okay, and I really like the genre (and consider LOTR one of the best epics ever made), so same as Netflix viewers: 3.5/5 (7/10) as opposed to IMDbidiots' 5/10.
I'm glad to see it's the first of a trilogy - I look forward to the next two in the series.
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol
