This show was a fresh show on norwegian TV when i first watched it and although i initially watched it because the other two options where crappy this one turned out to rather amusing. Bit slow in the beginning with little action happening i initially expected as you gotta save the best for the last episodes as is the case in most x-mas calendars, but the facts being given about the gods is always a bit fascinating to teach and its an easy way to learn about the northern countries heritage in terms of culture.

Definitely recommend it and i can say this much that i will most likely watch it next year should it be sendt again.

First of all let me tell you this. I did read the book and i knew that i would be a bit disappointed of the movie as they rarely measure up to the book they sometimes are made from. Second of all i gotta say that i was TERRIBLY disappointed by this movie, i found myself pondering if mr. Stefen Fangmeier even read it before deciding to direct a movie from it. The timeline was all messed up and i saw characters who never even met in the book meet each other in the film not to mention doing things that are CLEARLY stated IMPOSSIBLE in the book. And how are we supposed to see the difference between races when Humans and Elves look so similar, everyone know elves have pointy ears! The only bright spots i saw in this film was actually good effects (although locations wheren't as good as they could have been such as Farthern Dur), Character selections (which i would have used should i have made it myself) and the most charming little baby dragon that i fell in love with despite the few minutes we actually got to see her.

This movie could have been a lot better as it is and to top of that i'm disappointed that they didn't make it longer giving room for more time to get to know the characters. I didn't get to see ANYTHING of Eragon that i recognized from the book and i don't blame the actor, i blame the SCRIPT!

What can you say about the show that contains some of the best combinations of romance, humor and slapstick humor imaginable by my opinion. An animeshow has to be real good to surpass this one.

I gotta say, i'm a sucker for romantic comedies and i have seen a lot of them, but none really matches the level of this one. The seemingly endless almost-gonna-happen-but-never-does mood of this show has on more than one occasion made me bang my head against the keyboard until i had to get my backup keyboard. You gotta love slapstick to love this show though as much of it is based around that kinda situation, just don't do the mistake i did when watching it. Watch the episodes in the way they came, not the last one first or you won't be a "headbanger"
