I meant not bad in terms of production value. "Eragon" certainly could've been better, but I think the studio wanted to aim for a more child friendly film. As for the books being unoriginal, with as many stories that have been made I would find it hard to find anything original these days. While with the Inheritance Cycle comparisons to such works as Dragon Riders of Pern, Lord of the Rings and (most infamously) Star Wars, it at least makes for some enjoyable story telling. I haven't seen Chun Li yet (nor am I likely to), so I really can't say, but alot of films deemed as bad I personally enjoyed (Deep Rising; definitely a guilty pleasure
). I'd have to say that the difference between good or bad (with today's films anyway) really depends on the viewer. But I would have to say movies like Manos: the Hands of Fate, really do suck. If you haven't seen it yet, but your curious, buy it as a part of Myster Science Theater 3000.
