Movies made better by RiffTrax

So after watching tonight, my list of movies made much better by Rifftrax™ has increased by one! Star Trek V has been on the list for a year — that movie is hilarious when you watch it with RiffTrax™ — and now I must add Eragon to the list.

Favorite line: “Wait, wait, wait for it… pull my finger!”

Highly recommended. If you’ve never before watched a movie with RiffTrax™, these two are, in my humble opinion, the best places to start. Eragon had us in stitches for two hours straight watching the sad excuse for a movie adaptation of the really quite-decent book.

Well, OK, the book is actually quite a bit cheesy in ripping off from other books and movies in the genre, but the movie appears as if they ripped out all the non-cheesy parts from the book, condensed the remainder for time, added an extra heaping helping of stinky cheese, and then shoveled Lord of the Rings-like melodrama and massive battle scenes with scores of corpses, blood, and fabulous gold lamé battle costumes and overweight men dressed like Orcs — er, I mean, Urguls — to attract the key eight-to-fourteen-year-old element that so loved the book.

Umm, but one suggestion: The ending, with Disembaudio singing all the way through the credits? Yeah, much like Oh Holy Crap of yesteryear, it’s only funny because it’s so awful, and nothing else happens for the rest of the RiffTrack. Enjoy!
