Anyways, the movie has been out a while and so has the score. Vote on the newest Horner!

I'll give it a C-.

Same old boring bland predictable Horner but at least he's got some skills.

C+

There are parts of it that shine, and others that are pretty darn same old Horner to a painful degree.

Though that "Desperate Run to Something" track has one of my favorite iterations of a past Horner staple ever.

[Bryant Burnette 654]

B- for me, I guess. I can't recall the music well, but I remember thinking that the main titles were pretty. The rest of it I found to be competent but in no way memorable . . . much like the movie itself.

Never bothered to listen to it outside the movie.

I gave it a B+ because it does sound like Horner trying to do something original and the fact that he can compose better orchestral music than almost anyone else working in film ('cept Williams) even if he's lifted a few lines here and there.

[King Mark 3,624]

B

Because in the last few tracks the album finally kicks ass (Flight of the griffin ,Coming home.Closing credits...)

[Panthera 0]

B+ because in no way is the music bad, but it just doesn't quite deserve an A.
