Title: Lackluster Soundtrack
Product review: David Newman's score to Joss Whedon's Serenity does not capture the mood or feel of the movie as Greg Edmondson's did for the television series Firefly. The show has a heavy western theme and the TV score reflected that mood, while the movie score briefly touches on it with a guitar here and a banjo there. Mr. Newman clearly did not inherit his scoring ability from his cousin, the great Randy Newman who is one of the best in the business. The music isn't terrible, it just doesn't capture the mood and spirit of the film.
