Music Reviews of Batman Begins [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
Music Review: Beautiful, dark, alarming twilight music!
Rating: 5 Stars
Brooding, sinister and violent soundtrack, with lots of quotations from Wagner and other romantic composers, produced in an electronic environment.
Zimmer's music for The Thin Red Line stands out as one of the most gripping scores ever to feature in a movie; the music for "Batman Begins" equals that in intensity, imaginative power and sheer scariness.
Part of the reason this recording works so well separated from the movie is that it comes over as a coherent collection of musical essays (on the theme of monstrous bats, full of flapping, leathery wings, the pounding of strained hearts and the headlong rush of predator and prey).
Great fun to listen to if you need to write a dark novel (as I do) and highly recommended to almost everybody.
Music Review: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
Rating: 5 Stars
As a dynamic soundtrack collector, I must say that Batman Begins is one of my all time favorite scores. With the combination of Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard, how could anything go wrong?
The score is dark, scary, beautiful, and full of action all at the same time. It has awesome synthetic base added to some songs which I happen to love very much.
IT SHOULD BE UP FOR SCORE OF THE YEAR, THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU SOME IDEA OF HOW GOOD IT IS. WHEN I SAW THE LIST AND THIS WAS NOT ON IT I YELLED AND CURSED THE OSCAR IDIOTS. THEN I GLANCED DOWN TO NOTICE THAT NEITHER KING KONG, STAR WARS, BATMAN BEGINS, HARRY POTTER, NOR THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA WAS ON IT. I AM UTTERY AMAZED AT THE OSCAR FAILURE THIS YEAR.
I HOPE YOU BUY AND ENJOY THIS SCORE AS I KNOW YOU WILL
Music Review: Batman Begins (Soundtrack)
Rating: 4 Stars
This soundtrack is both exciting and relaxing to listen to. Whenever I go to the movies there's two things that I'm looking for in flim: A good storyline and the type of musical store that encompasses the film. The musical score fits the film very well and the film's composers Hans Zimmer and James Newton add an interesting and dramatic blend of sound effects and orchestra music throughout the entire film and soundtrack. The songs have both a haunting and mystical rhythmn that fits perfectly with the persona of Batman who has become a timeless legend in the hearts of young and old alike. If you like the previous soundtracks of the Batman genre you'll definitely love this CD. It's well worth the time to listen to it and it also helps to relax and clear your mind.Music Review: Good Score, With Creepy Parts
Rating: 3 Stars
I really like the haunting, broken-heart feeling of this film score. It has a passionate and insistent melody, but it is delivered in a quiet and subdued way, like a wild beast pacing its cage. This score reminds me a lot of the similarly subdued tension that underpinned Ennio Morricone's score for Mike Nichols' 1994 film, "Wolf", starring Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer.
The score does have a couple of tracks in the middle ("Artibeus" and "Tadarida"), focused on the Scarecrow character, which I find disturbing and frightening, so I always have to skip past them. But other than that, it's a really good score. While the thematic melody is not especially memorable after the fact, it is cohesive and sounds very compelling while it's being played.
Music Review: Best Batman Movie Score to Date!!!!!
Rating: 5 Stars
I've seen all the Batman Movies since they started and I have to say that the music scores were very good for the styles of the earlier Batman films. However the visual style of "Batman Begins" requires a deeper more dramatic approach to convey the true essence of what this movie projects. Hard, gritty and dark. I was very suprised when I found that Hans Zimmer was involved, and I must say....a perfect choice. He is one of my favorite modern movie music composers. His work in "Gladiator" was astonishing, to say the least. His style of music fits this movie to the tee. I would only hope that for the future Batman movies, Zimmer is chosen to do them all, as John Barry was to the early James Bond flicks. It would create an excellent continuity of film and music.
