 Weird, but not a complete surprise June 3, 2005
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Okay, by now we all have our opinions of the movie. I, personally, was grossly disappointed. So why did I buy this score? As a fan of Buffy, I had a soft spot for Christophe Beck. The review at filmtracks.com of this Elektra score will tell you that this music is a departure for Beck, but that isn't really true. If you've listened to the "Suite from 'Restless'" on the Buffy-Once More With Feeling CD, you pretty much know what you're in for.
Specifically, you're in for 45 minutes of funky percussion, clanging gongs, blasting horns, some other instruments I can't quite identify, and one soft, slow track at the end. So if you like that, then enjoy.
I myself actively like only two tracks: "De Marco's End," which is slightly kick-a$$ but only at the end, and "Insomnia." "Ninjas" has a bit of a James Horner vibe, like "Bishop's Countdown" from _Aliens_. (Of course, the scores for lots of action pictures claim a "Bishop's Countdown"-style track.)
I would have liked the album more if it had a good movie to refer to. Since it didn't, I can't really recommend it on the music alone. But if you like non-traditional scores (or only listen to the second half of _Children of Dune_) this might be worth a spin.
 A good album for an excellent movie December 4, 2005

This album is great. The music is so deep and relaxing. Only those people with no taste don't like it.
Great score March 24, 2007
I love this score! Every time I listen to it I can picture the scene each song is from!
