Free Music Review: More of the Same Dribble
Hit: 2 Stars
The first POTC movie was great; well written, well acted, entertaining, fun and had a decent story to boot. Both of the sequels were utterly abysmal on all of the formerly mentioned levels. As for the soundtracks, Curse of the Black Pearl was composed by Klaus Badelt, who while obviously a different person than Zimmer, is a clone from the same studio. Still, this was by far the best of the three, providing the groundwork for the well-known theme that would late be expanded upon and butchered at times. Dead Man's Chest was absolutely horrific, with non-stop bombastic clashes of drums, symbols and low strings. At World's End offers little more, with Drink Up Me Hearties and Up Is Down being the only worthwhile listens. Hans Zimmer is falling down the same path as James Horner, consistently producing music that sounds too similar. However, James Horner does have a dynamic range and complexity that Zimmer seems to lack. The new score for The Dark Knight is his best work of late, almost entirely because of the (unfortunately) few additions by James Newton Howard.
If you are a fan of the movies, you may enjoy this score, because it is certainly better than the atrocious films. If you are a fan of Hans Zimmer, this may be a mixed bag because it is clearly represenative of the composer's style, but lacks the substance of his truly fantastic works like the scores for The Last Samurai, King Arthur and Crimson Tide. But on a musical level, it really is quite a disaster.
