VJ: I watched the movie after I listened to the score and I also wish it was more noticeable. The movie Hitman wasn't a great one, but the score was very noticeable there and it actually made the movie a lot better. Nathan: Well said!

But I wish it could have been a little louder throughout the movie. I mean, I know that no director wants a movie to be 'over-musiced', but it seems that this one was a foot note in the movie. The movie was great. I loved the movie, and the score matched it perfectly. I loved this score. But I wish it could have been a little louder throughout the movie.

The review was a fair one, and yes, of course it's hard not to compare it to Mr. Zimmer himself, or Trevor Rabin, but it has a great mix of the spanish guitar, intense percussion, and slow strings. For a major film debut, I think this guy did a great job. Quit being hard on him just because you couldn't do it yourself.

Having great music for it helps of course :) It is fast paced and it’s very interesting with the different viewpoints. Having great music for it helps of course :)

Luckily unoriginal doesn't mean it's bad. Spy Game and Deja Vu are amazing scores, The Sentinel and Man on Fire is decent. Vantage Point is a well produced action score which makes a difference in the movie according to some reviews I've read. Hehe I like that last one, good pun!

Sorry, but I had to say this. ;) this score = Spy Game + The Sentinel + Man on Fire + Déja Vu + crap While the first 2 scores I mention are quite good, this one is just boring. Guitars like Man on Fire, hard electronics like Deja Vu, inspiration as usual (none that is), ... I hadn't much anticipation for this one anyway, but seeing this as a debut is just sad. Vintage pointless actionscoring. This is such an unoriginal score! Sorry, but I had to say this. ;)

Yeah, for me the music is a character in the movie too, it's a storytelling device and it really can make a lot of difference. That’s what I like to hear!

I can safely say that I recall VP's score really helping build the anticipation and excitement whereas not even the score of Jumper could save that sinking ship of a movie. I need to start paying more attention to the music! <em>Reel Whore's last blog post..<a href='http://reelwhore.blogspot.com/2008/02/more-than-mouthful-022208.html' rel="nofollow">More Than A Mouthful (02.22.08)</a></em> Admittedly I am not one to pick up on nuances in soundtracks, especially in action movies.
