Product Description

Soundtrack to Hellboy II -The Golden Army with music by the multi talented Danny Elfman. To match the fury, Danny Elfman again flexes his superhero symphonic muscle to follow in the grand tradition of Batman, Spider-Man and Men In Black. With a signature blend of action, humor and character-based spectacle, the saga of the world's toughest, kitten-loving hero from Hell continues to unfold in Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. Bigger muscle, badder weapons and more ungodly villains arrive in an epic vision of imagination from Oscar-nominated director Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy).

4.0 out of 5 stars A Link, July 15, 2008
-Whiles it was sad that Beltrami wasn't brought back to score the latest "Hellboy" movie, I was more than pleased with who was picked. Those that think this will be another "Batman" or "Spidey" can relax because it's really a different type of music. It has all the Elfman handprints all over it, but it's very different than the treatment he's given his other entries in the comic book movies.

-Whiles the action writing is great and well orchestrated, I prefer the softer moments like "A Choice" which is the beautiful music for when the Angel of Death offers Liz a choice. It starts with these weird whispering effects that's reminiscent of the opening of Arnold's "Stargate" overture then builds into a delicate and quite touching piece of music. It's a great scene in the movie and Elfman nails it right on the head.

-"A Link" is another tender moment that feature a touching version of the royal family theme *if that's what it's called*. "Father and Son" as well as "Finale" also offer beautiful versions of the theme.

-Action fans shouldn't fret since there is plenty to quench their thirst, and it's not just drum loops buried under string ostinato, it's actually well written pieces that in typical Elfman manner captures every little detail that happens on the screen. "Father and Son" offers that as well as "Training" which makes more sense after you've seen the movie.

-There are those that have decided to hate this album from the moment it was announced that Elfman was going to score it so they won't like it, but for those aren't close minded will like what they here. It has something for the action fans, and beautiful tender moments that make your heart ache. Whether or not it's better than the first album is something I'll let people decide for themselves.

Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is Danny Elfman's Best!, August 8, 2008
I can't stop listening to the music to Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. When I purchased the cd, I never believed it would be so addicting! Danny Elfman has never been one of my favorite composers, but what he's done with the second Hellboy is trully amazing and I have to give him credit for taking a risk.

The first Hellboy was musically boring. Marco Beltrami is an average composer and has only captivated me with his music to "iRobot" or "Live Free or Die Hard". But this time around, Hellboy is given the music he deserves and I'm glad that Danny Elfman took the risk of changing things up a bit.

The music is phenomenal and is clearly one of my top three this year. Little things like a little girl going "la la la la" or creepy whispers, and even the themes are astounding! Epic music that just screams Hellboy everytime I listen to it. The movie was great, but this music is meant to be listened to and I suggest you do just that!

If you want to know how great this music really is, just listen to a sample of the song titled "Hellboy 2 Titles". I promise you'll be hooked.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fine Film Score from Danny Elfman, July 23, 2008
By John Kwok (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Danny Elfman has rendered one of his better scores for the film "Hellboy II: The Golden Army". While it is as much an orchestral work as his highly acclaimed "Batman" scores, Elfman's music takes a much different turn here. While another reviewer condemns Elfman for relying upon Bernard Herrmann's great symphonic film scores for inspiration, I personally see nothing wrong here, since Elfman has had his own distinctive style that's truly far removed from Herrmann's. If anything, then even echoing Herrmann's lush scores here probably is more accidental or a slight homage or both. Elfman has done a superb job in adding more "life" to scenes rich in action, but I also commend his subtle compositions showcasing the evolving romance between the elven princess and Hellboy's alien sidekick.
