Free Music Notes for Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End
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.
Free Music Review: Not as good as I was hoping, great for background music at work.

I loved the music from the film, and I can tell when some of these tracks were played in the movie, but it was like a lot of the more instrumental soundtracks - a bit more repetitive than I was expecting. It's not bad, but knowing what it's like I wouldn't buy it again.Free Music Review: Least Favorite Pirates of the Caribbean Soundtrack
Hit: 3 Stars
I didn't LOVE this CD. It only has 3 or 4 good songs. The only reason they are good is because it sounds like the other 2 Soundtracks. It didn't blow me away, either. The best tracks are the following : 1, 5, 12, 13. Even so...the first song is not even complete.
I was expecting the very best of Hans Zimmer...but it disappointed me. So far, the best Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack is the first.
If you are a complete fan of these movies..then its just good for your collection, and even so, its probably going to be in a corner collecting dust. If you just like the movies and and thinking of buying this CD because of the music and previous experiences of the other soundtracks, then don't bother with this CD, you are not missing out on much. Its not going to change your world. Trust me, if you have the option of buying the single tracks online, then do so. Its really the best option, and it saves you money... Just buy the singles that are listed above.

This is a great soundtrack. You can't help but picture the whole movie as you listen. Much more varied than the first movie's soundtrack.Free Music Review: Great Soundtrack

I've listen to this many, many times since I received it and still enjoy listening to it as if it was the first time!
If you liked listening to the music, while watching the movie, you'll love this CD.
