Eragon

The movie version of the first book of the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. The book series was a pretty good fantasy/dragon story following a young boy who becomes one of the last dragon riders when he finds a dragon egg that hatches for him (the dragon has chosen him). This film is only moderately good, and leaves so much out that watching becomes confusing. It was launched shortly after the Lord of the Rings phenomena, but did not stand up to that excellence. Read the books.
