Customer Reviews
I can't stop listening to this!
Forget the format complaints. I too would have prefered a pressed CD. Big deal. I'm just glad that I have the 2 hours of this awesome music! Only Craig Armstrong can write frenetic and powerful music that is still so beautiful and listenable. Also check out "Elizabeth:The Golden Age"(my favorite score from 2007). This Hulk score is outrageously good. 5 stars!
One of the best film scores of the year
While it is true that this release is a CDR, those interested in the music and not the ingredients of the disc upon which it is burned or pressed will be very pleased with this soundtrack, which comes accompanied with a professionally printed tray label and booklet - and smashingly grand sound. Released by Marvel, it's as official a soundtrack as we're apt to get - and certainly as complete a one, with almost two hours of music (111.15 mins). How many other film scores get as much music made available coincidental with the film's release? Armstrong's main theme is terrific, with its repeated, pronounced X-strokes of violin, and his 3-note Hulk motif, itself a kind of swervy reflection of that main theme transposed to a sinewy violin figure wrapped in thick cords, entwining around and through the orchestra, embodying the growling tonality of the verdant beast's voice in those deep and substantial cello strains, echoed by a much higher reflective glinting of violins, all propelled by a driving pulse of strings and snarling horns. The score draws its relentless forward motion from these strokes of violins, driven by a recurring, low string ostinato. It's large and quick and powerful - an adroit embodiment of the green guy himself. Joe Harnell's poignant piano theme, "The Lonely Man," from the 1979 Incredible Hulk TV series, is nicely incorporated into the track "Bruce Goes Home." It's one of many affectionate nods to that influential show included in the new movie. The reawakened romance between Banner and Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) is characterized by a melancholy love theme, poignant strings and piano. I've found The Incredible Hulk to be a richly energetic and powerful orchestral score with effective electronic nuances built into its textures. Armstrong provides music that is both sensitive to the story's underlying drama and sustaining of the film's action set pieces. Hulk is melodically rich, provocatively vigorous, and thematically compelling, and is definitely one of the best scores of the year thus far.
The Incredible Score, I mean Hulk Score
Ok, If you've seen this movie and you worship movie scores, then you most likely heard the music during the movie. It's spectacular and earns its place with some of the other fine film scores we've got this year so far(like Prince Caspian, Speed Racer, and Iron Man). The music is emotional(like Narnia 2), energetic(like IronMan), and intense(like Speed Racer). In fact, I'd even go so far as to say that the music to the Hulk is BETTER than Iron Man's score! The movie is also better than Iron Man, but that's besides the point. Themes are represented well, especially on the 2 Disc. If you really want to experience the Hulk and all his glory, then buy the 2 Disc, not the MP3 release with only a few songs. However, If you haven't picked up Speed Racer or Narnia: Prince Caspian, I would do that first. Also, the score to The Dark Knight is coming out in July, so look into that one, if you've heard Batman Begins and fell in love with it. In the end, the best movie score I've bought this year (so far) is The Rescuers Down Under. But give this one a try too, I think you'll enjoy it.
