Music reviews of I Am LegendMusic Review: Great soundtrack
Like the movie itself, James Newton Howard's soundtrack isn't flashy or overblown. Instead it's simple, understated and poignant, with amazing use of strings (JNH's trademark) and a gentle piano interlude. The main theme, which appears in full form on the opening track "My Name is Robert Neville" and again (in full or partial form) on "Evacuation", "Scan Her Again", "Sam's Gone", "I'm Listening" and "Epilogue", is moving and unforgettable (I work at a cinema and after cleaning the "I Am Legend" theater I usually have the melody in my head for hours). The "action" tracks are few and far between -- of them, "Darkseeker Dogs" is probably my favorite -- and while that's not problematic, there are some genuinely slow stretches (mostly in the second half of the soundtrack) where the music is more suited for background listening than for holding your attention. Another minor downside is the length of the tracks: nine tracks are under three minutes long, so some of them seem more like vignettes than full tracks; but with 14 tracks in total, the album does clock in at about 45 minutes. All in all, it's a great soundtrack, and it fits the movie perfectly. Highly recommended, especially if you appreciated JNH's work on the "Batman Begins" soundtrack -- it's very similar in style.
