I like watching movie trailers and then reviewing the movie based on the information gleaned from them. I work at the Telluride Film Festival, and I get to see quite a few movies well before their domestic release dates, so I have a little insight into those movies as well. Because the TFF program isn't released until the day of the festival, I like to try and guess what might show up here.

Eragon

Stefen Fangmeier (dir.)
Edward Speleers
Jeremy Irons
John Malkovich
Trailer

After watching both trailers, I don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand, it's a new adventure movie trilogy, on the other hand, it looks like a bunch of special effects guys spent a whole lot of time masturbating creatively, spewing fat globs of CGI into every nook and cranny on the big screen. It'll probably be fun to watch, but I don't think it's going to break any new ground.

Anticipated rating: 6/10
