Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Score by the Hollywood Studio Symphony. Music by John Powell (The Bourne Trilogy) fires up an adrenalin-fueled score for the summer's hotly anticipated blockbuster for 2008. There are heroes, there are superheroes and then there's Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibility - everyone knows that - everyone, that is, but Hancock. Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic, and misunderstood, Hancock's well-intentioned heroics might get the job done and save countless lives, but always seem to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake. The public has finally had enough - as grateful as they are to have their local hero, the good citizens of Los Angeles are wondering what they ever did to deserve this guy. Hancock isn't the kind of man who cares what other people think - until the day that he saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), and the sardonic superhero begins to realize that he may have a vulnerable side after all.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is music scored for the film - get the difference???, July 4, 2008
By Brad Byers (Las Vegas, Nv. United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am so tired of the misinformed giving 0 stars to music that is scored - ie. "composed" for a particular film because their favorite radio songs are missing. If you want a soundtrack with pop songs on it, then learn to read, but don't mislead the buying public by a negative review because you don't understand what you bought. John Powell is an excellent film composer and should be judged on those merits - not missing pop songs.
Please learn the difference before you add to a lower star average than is warranted. "Morons! I've got morons on my team!"

5.0 out of 5 stars How nice to see an actual score being marketed, July 3, 2008
How refreshing to see an actual -score- from a film being released instead of songs you can barely hear in the background of some scenes. In most cases, those songs are readily available, either on CD or as downloads, whereas a score release is the only way to get the film's actual score. Kudos to the producer -- and kudos to John Powell for a score that suits the film.
