I've seen Eragon twice now. I really enjoy it, despite the fact that it's cheesy and non-sensical in many places. It's very architypal, which unfortunately comes across as stereotypical. But because it taps into all the old tropes, it feels comfortable and familier and happy. It's not high art at all (though some of the CGI is pretty nifty) but it's like your favorite pair of jeans from the back of your closet. Can't wear them out and show them off, but on a lazy sunday morning, they're the only thing you want to put on.
