Free Music Notes for Across the Universe
Free Music Review: Amazing songs, listen to them over and over again
Hit: 5 Stars
This cd is just incredible. If you saw the movie you, you must have it. If you haven't seen the movie, why are you reading this review when you should be out buying tickets? There is another soundtrack that has more songs that you should definitely consider, but this has the main ones. A win no matter what you choose. Free Music Review: Wish I had the 2nd cd...
Hit: 4 Stars
The only reason that this soundtrack gets a 4 out of 5 is because I bought it before the 2-disc soundtrack came out. I wish they wouldn't have cheated us happy-go-clicky customers that bought the soundtrack as soon as they heard about it. I am totally in love with every single song, and I only wish I had the second disc so I could fully enjoy the experience of reliving this movie through its music.Free Music Review: Great Movie - Horrible Sountrack!!!
Hit: 1 Stars
I saw this movie and really enjoyed it. Naturally, I wanted the soundtrack and purchased it. Here is the problem. The songs on the so-called "soundtrack" are nothing like they appeared in the movie.
I first noticed this in "I've Just Seen A Face." In the movie, there is a very "snappy" snare drum keeping the beat during the song done in the amazing bowling alley scene. On the soundtrack, that little snare drum beat is not there at all. It's still a good song, but it is not the version that appeared in the movie and not NEARLY as much fun.
One thing that I loved about the movie is that during many of the musical numbers, other actors would "join in" or simply pick up a few lines of a song. These were generally people who had nothing to do with the story.
The main actor might be singing a song while walking down the street and they would transition into a "passer-by" who would pick up a line or two.
If you have seen the movie, I would have to say that the most notible example of this was when "Jude" sang "Hey Jude." (No surprise there!) He starts out singing the song in a pub and as he decides to leave and head to America, children and other members of the town join him in singing the song. On the soundtrack, he basically sings it by himself. BORING!
Bottom line...I felt very ripped off in purchasing this!!!
Free Music Review: Great!
Hit: 5 Stars
After I saw the movie, I wanted to get the soundtrack immediately! I like how the songs were rearranged and think they are all very catchy.Free Music Review: Pretty Good, but Not as Good as the Movie!
Hit: 2 Stars
I was swept away by the visuals, mood, and historical sweep of the movie Across the Universe and hadn't realized at the time that the Beatles tunes sung by novices was the weakest link in an overall very strong creative chain. I bought the CD expecting to be catapulted into that celluloid space again only to find myself missing the actual voices of John, Paul, and George when hearing old favorite Beatles tunes. I would buy the DVD in a heartbeat, though, and the singers in Across the Universe did a more than adquate job in rendering Beatle favorites.
