I got my copy yesterday and of course listed immediately 
The score is fine but suffers a bit from the amount of very short cues which are often consisting of various even shorter fragments. There is a lot of playful writing for woodwinds, which is sometimes lovely and is occasionally developed into longer pieces... some bigger orchestral cues and fanfares are very good as well, but overall... it's a bit too schizofrenic for my taste.
I will have to give it a few more listens and then I am sure it will grown on me but if you are expecting something more "adult" as Talgorn's Asterix, you might be slightly disappointed - although they both include some fantastic brass writing and fanfares for the Romans.
Believe me Lokutus, it will grow on you. I had the same feeling initially but this turned out to be a little gem. It has Williams and Silvestri touches over it but is first and foremost Rombi showing some extraordinary orchestral skills. Really good!

I really like the score. It is exactly NOT a boring typical Talgorn Williams clone but a wonderful playful orchestral adventure score.
My favorite Asterix score so far. Perfectly performed by the Brussel Philharmonic btw.

I must say, try as I might, I just can't get into this score either.
Outside of a few cues that sound like John Powell on song, it's either bland mickey-mousing music, silly source cues or not terribly interesting action/drama tracks...all too short or schizophrenic to settle into.
I own two ASTERIX scores...this one and the Talgorn one...and the Talgorn one is the tops for me.
