Music reviews of Rambo - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Review: Goldsmith still propping up mediocre composers from beyond the grave
Rating: 3 Stars
I know I've said it before but I still cannot believe that Brian Tyler, a composer who first came to my attention with the wonderful Bubba Ho-Tep (Signature Edition) score, could so quickly turn into a hack churning out 'noise' scores for trash movies such as The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift [Original Motion Picture Score] and the inarticulate, bombastic sounds of Alien vs. Predator: Requiem. What a disappointment this obviously talented man has turned out to be. Or was the music of Bubba Ho-Tep merely a fluke?
Living up to Jerry Goldsmith is no easy task even for a vetran, so it puzzles me why Tyler should receive that honor above everyone else. Think of how good the score to Rambo would have been if Chris Young, James Horner or Alan Silvestri had been hired. I'm afraid to say that, as it is, the only good parts of this CD are moments when Tyler more or less directly cut and pastes portions of Goldsmith's work from First Blood: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1982 Film). What little melodic input Tyler uses from his own imagination is sadly generic and forgettable. Also, while he's strengthening his own sub-par music with Goldsmith's why did he choose to leave out the absolutely brilliant main theme from Rambo: First Blood Part II - Original Film Soundtrack, New Expanded Edition? I can just imagine that theme being used to great effect in the finale when Rambo seizes control of that massive gun and lays waste to the bad guys.
Each of the score CDs from the first three movies have signature sounds and themes in pretty much every single track. Unfortunately, aside from the occasional cue containing the wonderful Rambo theme, this CD is mainly filled with more of the tiresome action 'noise' that is so commonplace in film-scoring these days. There's hardly anything memorable about the new material on this CD and I recommend it only to Goldsmith or Rambo fans.
Description of Rambo - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Composer Brian Tyler (Aliens Vs. Predator - Requiem, War) is known for creating compelling music for action films. For Rambo the music is no less intense, but there is also a powerful emotional resonance that reflects director Sylvester Stallone's vision of a world torn apart by war, and the lone warrior who knows what he must do about it...Pop CDs
