5.0 out of 5 stars The Beginning, March 4, 2010
This review is from: Batman Begins: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
This score is a great one. They started the current Batman film franchise and got two great composers. This soundtrack definitely has many great songs. This review will give you an idea of what the score sounds like by giving you the details of three of the varied styles found in this soundtrack. "Eptesicus" gives the theme for the Batman Begins film, and has a lot of strings with occasional brass. It builds up from a quiet song into the full fledged Batman theme for the movie. "Lasiurus" is a song that I think reflects on Rha's al Ghul. It has his woodwind theme at the beginning, but moves into a deep, string filled piece. It is very quiet and beautiful music. This soundtrack also has the song "Molossus." This song is for some of the more action packed scenes. It has drums that have an alomst continuous beat, and various other instruments that enter and exit randomly to make it exciting and fast paced. This score gets its five stars for its variety and overall just great themes and music. I recommend this soundtrack to anyone who enjoys Batman or soundtracks in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars Far Out!, July 19, 2010
This review is from: Batman Begins: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
I really enjoyed the score to Batman Begins, from things that made it and things that didn't make it to the CD. There were more bits and cues in the movie that could have made the soundtrack a whole lot more than what it is now. I wanted to see more of Zimmer and Howard.
Perhaps and expanded score will get a release in the future.
Still, nonetheless, I enjoyed the many motifs and themes. Lasirus being my fave.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love This Soundtrack, March 12, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Batman Begins: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
This music from Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard is excellent. I really enjoyed the movie, and the music was a big part of why it was so good. The price is the best that I could find anywhere, and right now (when this was written) this soundtrack is not even available on ITunes. It is an hour worth of listening, and you will want to listen to it again and again.
