Title: Oh please...this is a film score?
Product review: First of all...this score was definitely not just overproduced by Hans Zimmer...it was practically WRITTEN by him. As one other reviewer already pointed out, some of the music is almost exactly the same as the battle music in gladiator...same style, orchestration, and feel. (that music incidentally was almost completely "borrowed" from Gustav Holst's 'Mars'from 'The Planets') Badelt has managed to create a catchy theme and has occasional moments of brooding, atmospheric music...but not a very impressive effort overall. Much of the music isn't even performed by live musicians but rather by synthesizers. Nearly all of the percussion is done on a computer, as are some of the brass instruments. I find this very dissapointing coming from someone who is the student of a well recognized film composer who ought to respect the music enough to let it be played by PEOPLE, not machines.
