Customer Reviews
Fans rejoice!
Generally known as a forgettable score to a forgettable film, this new release of Supergirl should prove to be quite a surprise. This score is loaded with subtle qualities rather than overwhelming themes like some other composers' scores. It is unassuming, yet powerful, just like the title character. In its newly restored and expanded format it is truly a treat for fans like myself who experienced this charming movie in theaters in 1984. I recommend it to fans of the film and fans of Jerry Goldsmith alike.
Great musical score
Almost all of the music on this CD is excellent. The best song is #1, the opening score. Jerry Goldsmith does an excellent job of capturing the spirit of Supergirl and the movie. This is a must-have for fans of the movie or Supergirl.
Super Goldsmith To The Rescue
"Supergirl" was perhaps one of the worst movies ever made in film history. It barely sank the careers of Helen Slater -where is she anyway? -and Faye Dunaway. The visual effects were spectacular, although they were at the service of a completely nonsense film. But watch out, here comes Super Jerry Goldsmith to the rescue, with one of his finest works ever in this expanded edition CD. The theme for Supergirl is epic, and the french horns play the love theme beautifully in some of the passages of this composition. The only questionable thing about this score is the excessive use of synthesizers, which almost cast a shadow over the orchestra.
One thing is certain: Jerry Goldsmith is still a true master of film scoring who can create music that can be far better than the movie for which it was written.
