Title: A strong soundtrack, but a long way from Edward Scissorhands
Review: Tim Burton has once again hired his long time friend, Danny Elfman, to write the score for his filmadaption of Washington Irving's gothic horror story. The film is a dazzling show of creative imagination, and the music fits in perfectly. But sadly, the music doesn't stand 100% on its one two feet: it sort of needs the film to kick off. So although this is a very good soundtrack indeed, which is to be expected from Elfman, it doesn't rate along side the scores for Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands or The Nightmare's Before Christmas.
