seen the movie, now relive it thru the score...,

This review is from: X-Men Origins Wolverine (Audio CD)
from the very first note on this score, you can actually "see" the movie..."logan thru time" opens the score and doesn't let go... i orginally bought this because i loved the movie so much that i wanted to have whatever was released with it, but i was genuinely surprised to listen it and not even notice that i was "listening" to the movie and not actually watching it! harry gregson-williams did an amazing job with this score, making the action come alive and the emotional scenes even more gut-wrenching...

Harry's Score Has Its Moments But Overall Struggles To Stand On Its Own,
By Kaya R. Savas - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: X-Men Origins Wolverine (Audio CD)
So, I was looking forward to this movie for one major reason. That reason was Harry Gregson-Williams. His last score release was nearly 1 year ago with Prince Caspian, which was an amazing score. John Powell was the last composer to leave his mark on this franchise, and when I heard Harry was taking the helm I got super excited.I'll stop dancing around and get right to the point. This score is okay. It has it's moments and plenty of Harry's signatures layered throughout. He carries some percussion over from Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare and some vocals that remind me of Kingdom Of Heaven. It's a symphonic score layered with his signature electronics. I think the biggest thing I was disappointed about was that the score never really took off. It reaches a level and pretty much stays at it during the entire film. Surprisingly the film also lacks any major thematic or melodic material. There isn't a tune in the score that you can put your finger on and associate it to this score. So in that sense this score is floating around without a real identity. The best stuff here in my opinion is the music for Kayla, who is Wolverine's love interest who ends up getting killed. There are hints at some touching music there, but again the story leaves no room for it to blossom. I can't really blame Harry for this one because honestly the movie was just plain awful. There wasn't anything in the film worth remembering and the writing is laughably bad. Everything seems rushed and the story is an utter mess. Harry composed this score knowing well that they would probably continue the franchise, but most likely with a different director and a different composer. In the end there a few pieces that are fun to listen to, but as a huge Gregson-Williams fan it didn't meet my expectations. The score never rises to stand on its own and it's lost within the picture. Looking forward to his score for The Taking Of Pelham 123, because when Harry and Tony Scott team up it never disappoints. Wolverine is a standard score for a less than stellar movie. The film was lucky enough to get this much effort out of Harry. 6 of 9 people found the following review helpful

Not Harry Gregson-Williams Best Work But Still So AWESOME!!!!!,
By Andrew Berg - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: X-Men Origins Wolverine (Audio CD)
The Soundtrack has its ups and downs, but overall Harry Gregson-Williams did quite an excellent job. The themes are emotional, haunting, intense, and just plain AWESOME!!!!! This CD is SOOOOO worth buying!!!! Also "Logan Meets Gambit" is the best action-packed track of them all, with astounding violin performances, and "Kayla" is the most emotional track of them all!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!

Brutal, Sweeping, PRISTINE,
By Media Lover - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: X-Men Origins Wolverine (Audio CD)
This is the kind of music I dream of creating. The melodies are subtle yet complex, the action is frenzied and yet accessible... and the production? Oh my word. The production on this score is a slobber-knocking right hook out of sound quality heaven! If I had one negative thing to say, it's simply that I would have LOVED a theme for Wolverine/Logan. "Kayla" has an absolutely beautiful theme, and I think something similar for Logan would have been incredibly powerful.One of my favorite action scores, and CERTAINLY in my top 5 Harry Gregson Williams scores. |
