Saw it with my wife. To preface, both she and I have read the first two books of Paolini's Inheritance trilogy.
1. I found the movie to be marginally better than the 2nd D&D movie (which was quite a bit better than the first D&D movie, IMO).
2. The most enjoyable scene to me was the final fight between Eragon and Durza. It was pretty CG and just plain fun. This did not make the movie any better though. That said, I had a better time watching both SARS Wars: Zombie Apocalypse, and Jesus Christ Vampire Slayer.
Honestly, the book was fairly mediocre, but I didn't feel like I wasted my time reading it. When it comes to the second book, I found myself far more interested in the side plot for Roran's character than I did with any of the flashy, whiny bits with Eragon.
My personal ratings scale goes like this:
**** - I'd see it multiple times in the theater at full price.
*** - It's worth the full price theater ticket, but probably only once.
** - It's worth the matinee price.
* - Rent it, or wait for it to come out on TV.
- At least it wasn't "Stacy".
So Eragon is a solid "**" on my scale.
