Editorial Reviews

Composer Brian Tyler (Aliens Vs. Predator - Requiem, War) is known for creating compelling music for action films. For Rambo the music is no less intense, but there is also a powerful emotional resonance that reflects director Sylvester Stallone's vision of a world torn apart by war, and the lone warrior who knows what he must do about it...

Rambo finally returns to the movies, and it also means new music! This CD contains almost the entire score by Brian Tyler. His versions of main and action themes do the first three movie scores justice. Although the tracking is a bit odd, the music is exciting and worth turning the volume up!! My favorite track in particular is track 2 (No Rules Of Engagement). Tyler has his own blend of powerful action themes and percussion and strings to give it it's own rythm. Tracks like The Aftermath and The Village present some of the more peaceful moments in the music. Track 7, Hunting Mercenaries, gives a real "charge"! Tracks 1 and 19 are simillar and represent two versions of the opening scenes of the film, track 19 being the alternate version to track 1 that was heard in the film.

The best part of the whole CD is the used of the original Rambo music by the late Jerry Goldsmith, which can be heard on tracks 1,2,8,12,18,19,and 20. Those themes brought back the original emotions of the original soundtracks of the first three, and I can happily say that Brian Tyler did Jerry Goldsmith's themes justice!

I believe this is worthy of calling it Rambo music. Enjoy!!

4.0 out of 5 stars BOOM!, February 8, 2008

This review is from: Rambo - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

The score is (nearly) perfect! Brian Tyler does a GREAT job combining his themes with those of Jerry Goldsmith. My only gripe is that (again) the music is not in order as you hear it in the film. It is a HUGE pet-peeve of mine...sorry. Also, the track 'Rambo Theme' sounds more like the main title music as opposed to track titled 'Rambo Main Title'...weird. And for those looking for the music that accompanies Rambo's final act of gut-wrenching vengeance, check out the end of track two - No Rules of Engagement...AWESOME!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing soundtrack, February 8, 2008

By 

Ron Carpenter (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rambo - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This is one of the most surprisingly emotional and gripping scores I have heard in a long time. The wonderful nostalgia of hearing the original Goldsmith theme combines with the epic new themes from Brian Tyler to create an extremely satisfying CD. The action from Tyler is, as always, top notch with soaring orchestra and massive percussive thunder. But it is the memorable new Rambo theme that really sets this apart.
