Eragon Music

I still haven't read the book, Eragon or seen the movie, but I have listened to the movie's soundtrack composed by Patrick Doyle. Patrick Doyle composed worked on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, as well as Bridget Jones' Diary. The soundtrack is now one of my recent favorites. Many of the tracks inlcude variations on a strong central theme. While I don't know what happens (obviously), the music does evoke mood and images that give a sense of what kinds of action/events are taking place.

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.
