Merrick here...

Before we go any further, I should probably note that
I haven't read any of THE INHERITANCE TRILOGY (which ERAGON begins), but I'm told it's a sloppy orgasm of shameless derivation.

As such, I can't offer any context for this trailer beyond a face value assessment. And that assessment is? Lots of dizzying aerial acrobatics + the same old fantasy settings/costumes/archetypes we've seen more times than we can count = "meh."

Nonetheless, we thought you'd like to know that apple.com has now posted the ERAGON trailer in HD.

No dialogue, no performances, and lots of dragons. You do the math.

This being said, I'm all for a kickass dragon movie -- I don't think we've had a really good one since DRAGONSLAYER. DRAGONHEART was kinda embarrassing and stupid & REIGN OF FIRE was heading the right direction but still missed the mark. And then, of course, there's DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS...which was, well, you know what I'm talking about. It had Jeremy Irons in it...just like ERAGON...a harbinger already noted by geeks far and wide.

Am I missing any other dragon movies of note? Been a really long day...
