Title: Good movie ruined by a horrific score. . .
Review: Vangelis?? How on earth did Ridley Scott come to the conclusion that he needed Vangelis to do the music to Blade Runner? Admittedly, the movie has the greatest cinematography I've seen in a movie in a long time, but the score just ruins the whole thing! It's just plain awful! From annoying high-pitched synthesizer to a cheesy saxaphone (completely unneccessary!), this soundtrack is full of complete garbage. The only plus I'll give it is adding in the voice overs to accompany the soundtrack; it really spices it up and makes it just a little bit creepier. The score by itself with no voices would sound incredibly bad and dull.While this soundtrack does have its fans, I am not one of them. All I can say is shame on the Blade Runner crew for choosing Vangelis of all people to do the soundtrack. This is one soundtrack to pass up.
