I'm convinced my girlfriend wants to see it solely because the title contains the word labyrinth. I've told her multiple times now, David Bowie is not in this damn movie!
So glad I'm not the only one with this problem.

I never read the book, but about the movie: it's not that bad. But is it me or i've already heard that story before, in a galaxy far, far away?
SPOILER ALERT*** ...Pretty much everything is spoiled...
last chance. stop reading if you don't know the story.
Movie start with an king/emperor's general pursuing a princess with a stolen item. He captures her but she send the stolen thing away. It's found by a farm-boy, raised by his uncle and no knowledge of his parents.
The guy finds an old master of an ancient order and learns magic tricks from him. They go save the princess and the master dies in the hand of the evil general. Hero and princess goes find the resistance and with the help of the stolen thing, they win a fight.
The Bad Guy is from the same order as the master and betrayed and killed everyone else.
If by the end of the serie, the bad guy is the hero's father, i'll be deeply dissapointed.
END OF SPOILER***
Yeah, not a bad movie, but not really original.

Eragon seems to have been written under the notion that it's not plagerism as long as it's stolen from 4 or 5 different sources and not just copied from one.
If Star Wars were rewritten for the Dragonriders of Pern, this is what you'd get, with a little bit of Tolkien thrown in for good measure.

4-5 sources? Well, maybe. But i'm only seeing 1-2 and Tolkien is not one of them.
The book takes from from four or five sources, but really draws heavily from Star Wars (is there an echo in here?), Dragonrider's of Pern, and alot of LOTR (which I don't see how you could not notice unless you've only seen the movies). He's also taken a couple passages from David Edding's The Ruby Knight.

Do a google search on "Eragon plagiarism" and you'll have plenty of hits that can point out the multiple sources his "creativity" stems from.

Are you comparing both books? I can only compare lotr books with eragon's movie... About the 2 other things you mentioned, i don't know them. I said 1-2 for star wars and something with dragonrider's powers.

More than just a few passages and more than just "The Ruby Knight" I'ld say. It seems that he copied a fair part of the Belgariad imo.
How magic works, the old storyteller,...
But then again, lots of fantasy books are getting quite similar. It could be that I've just read too many myself, but it just feels like that.
