Could Never Of Been A Great Film Without This...
Hans Zimmer is almost as well known as John Williams now for his majestic wonders of a mix of industrial synthesizers and traditional orchestral mystiques. Ever since his intense and triumphant score for Tony Scott's "Crimson Tide" in '96, his career has been at an ever climbing rate. It is a style of music I have longed for in film's and Zimmer catches to it without difficulty or flaw in some. <

>The Last Samurai is a curiously different tone for him and a well deserved one as well after doing so many barouqe and outloud chords. It is beautifully well toned and is more of a contemporary score, rythmed with absolutely amazing combination of violin and eastern pipes along with a synthesized woodwind flow. In other tracks, he combines this light tone with his barouqe brass underlining the use of traditional Japanese cultural instruments, namely the strong willed percussion. It weaves through in a calm and collective state, inspiring strong feeling. It is almost flawless, except for the Braveheart similar stand-off to the battle and some chords and changes that don't fit in with the flow of the music or tone. <

>All of this carries on a film that is very sensitive to its itself with beautiful cinematography, some very decent performances (one by a different Tom Cruise), with a calmly paced style of storytelling, despite that some scenes and incidents are questionable and bordeline Hollywood characteristics. It is a truly notable and memorable reprisal for Edward Zwick, a filmmaker struggling to redeem his career. <

>This is definently one of Hans Zimmer's greatest compositions and is well worth ditching money and time for. I very often use this soundtrack for my meditation rituals and it is great for relaxing your mind and getting in touch with your senses. Four out of five stars.

A flowing torrent of musical specticle
I found this soundtrack in the Navajo sandstone of Utah's senic Arches National Park, and I was plesantly surprised. All the tracks were simply fantabulous, except for number four, which reminded me of the Indian National anthem "Vande Maharam." But other than that, I listened to this soundtrack at least four times a day, and some times I do a little dance to it. I assure you it's really great, and if Mr.Hans Zimmer saw it, I'm sure he would be proud, and invite me to join his company, Media Ventures, and thence be the companies offcial interpretive dancer. <

>It's a damn fine soundtrack.

Zimmer's best score of the decade thus far
Hans Zimmer is a composer who's best known for his big, loud synth-flavored film scores. As good as wroks like "Crimson Tide" and "Gladitor" are, some of his best work has been on more intimate scores such as "The Thin Red Line", and "As Good as it Gets". Here, he combines his gentle, underappreciated stylings with his more popular action fare. The action music is certainly excellent, with pounding taiko drums and very memorable themes. At a first listen, this music will catch your attention and impress you from the start. But, as with the best scores, repeat listenings reap great benefits. After you are able to hear all the little things Hans is doing in the quiet music, you're really able to fully enjoy and appreciate this score. It's also pleasant to finally hear Zimmer write an entire score by himself. By all means, I'm in favor of his "Composer-support-group" methods, but it's a rarity to hear Mr. Z write a score all on his own these days, so that's a nice surprise. Despite the popularity of his "Gladiator" score, Zimmer takes that style of mixing the epic and intimate and improves on it here. One of Hans Zimmer's best scores.
