Ed Speleers (You are not an inch of Eragon), Sienna Guillroy and Garrett Hedlend were particulary horrible.
Jeremy Irons did a fantastic job, clearly showing a change from his role in DnD, but even he couldn't save this movie.

I'd rather have a kids tv series on Eragon then this. The plot is completely different from the book, as ar the characters, the acting is horrible and the special affects are horrible.
In a sentence, it brutally murdered the Eragon book with a wooden stake. This rating is coming from the guy who liked Dungeons and Dragons. A very bad film indeed and one that I'd rather rate with zero, but I'll through a half a star Robert Carlyle's way. The only positive that can be taken from this is that due to it's box-office and critical failure, we will probably be spared the adaptations to the rest of the series. This is one, and quite possibly the definitive to those exceptions. Normally a fantasy yarn has something to hold your interest - no matter how poor - but it just goes to show there are exceptions to that. The same goes for Carlyle but he still manages to deliver a decidedly nasty villian that's way above this nonsense. You get the impression from Irons and Malkovich that they know they've made a mistake with this one. Speelers doesn't really cut it as the hero of the tale, lacking charisma and any form of acting ability and the rest of the cast seem perplexed. Although some were impressed with the special effects, I didn't find them to be anything special. It made no effort to even look like the dragon was communicating and just came across as cheap and insulting. Admittedly, I've never read the books, leaving me unsure as to how the adaptation should be but I do know this. This was also based on a series of books by Christopher Paolini but it's not even in the same league as some of the quality we've recently been spoiled with. If your going to release a fantasy film these days then make sure it has some mileage, as "The Lord of the Rings" has set a very high benchmark. Young farmer Eragon (Ed Speleers) finds a dragon's egg, and teams up with the newborn dragon, Saphira (voiced by Rachel Weisz), a former Dragon Rider (Jeremy Irons) and a female Elf (Sienna Guillory) to tackle an evil king (John Malkovich) and his shady accomplice (Robert Carlyle). Seriously though, I wish I'd listened to the naysayers now. However, I eventually thought I should still give it go and see for myself. I enjoy a good fantastical story but I had avoided this one due to the bad things I'd heard of it. Flan Polo?" "Now we're cooking! What a team!" "You ARE shitting me, right.?" "So they rescue the princess but his old mentor is killed by Garth.bet you never saw that one coming! So they all get together to help the rebels fight the imperial forces in a big battle in a Keep built into a mountain side!!" "Exactly like The Two Towers you mean." "Erm.ever heard of it." "SECURITY!" We could call it The Horce or something! But there's this bad ass Emper.er I mean King who wants him dead, so he calls in his right hand man who used to be a good guy like Obi Wan Kebabi (just thinking off the top of my head here!) but turned to the dark side!" "How did you get in here?" "This bad guy, called, um Garth Nader, captures a feisty princess who Duke has to rescue with the help of an enigmatic, morally ambiguous mercenary who keeps appearing to save his ass at the last minute!!" "Let me guess.

We'll just get a Satnav to do it and make her communicate through thought so we don't have to make its lips move.that oughtta save us a few bucks!" "I see." "Then he can meet up with an ageing mentor who used to be like him, who teaches him how to fight and use magic powers. He can be played by some characterless pretty boy with an English accent, like that Hayden Christensen dude! EVERYBODY liked him.am I right or am I right?!" "Okaaaay." "He finds out one day that he's the chosen one to hang out with this dragon who speaks to him!" "You mean like Dragonheart?" "No, no.nothing like that! That had that cool, charismatic Scottish guy voicing it. "I've got a great idea for a new movie now hobbits and shit are in vogue!" "Oh, yeah? What's it about?" "Well there's this young farmboy see, and he lives with his uncle.let's call him Duke Styporker.
