Eragon, Thumbs Down?

The reviews are in for Eragon, and they don't paint a pretty picture. Rotten Tomatoes gives it only a 15% fresh rating. I haven't seen the movie, and I must confess, I have not read the book. When the book came out, adults and kids seemed divided in their opinions -- kids loving it, adults tolerating it. Will reactions to the movie break down the same way? I guess I should take some time over the winter holiday to read the book and go see the movie. Then I can have an opinion too.

I started reading Eragon - maybe I even finished the first book - but it didn't really grab my attention (as demonstrated by the fact that I can't remember if I finished the first book).
