Great movie and a great soundtrack. Laugh out loud funny at times and tearfully touching at others. Great movie with great performances that raise it above where you think it will be.
Richard Dreyfuss is excellent and so is the rest of the cast

Daredevil was an awesome movie and has the soundtrack to go with it. Not only being a kick butt soundtrack it can also be claimed as the laucnching pad of one of the most popular bands in the world right now with Evanesance.
Daredevil has it all. It's got a great mixture of music from rock, metal, rap, techno, and a great piano song by Evanesance. The first few songs on the album alone make it worth the money.
Fuel, The Calling, Saliva, and Seether make an amazing opening set. I like Seethers song the best. It's one of the hard rocking songs of the year that needs some more credit.
Evanesance also has two songs on the album. They have the rocking Bring Me to Life with Paul McCoy of 12 Stones. This song was number 1 in america earlier this year and I can clearly see why. It's a great song. My Immortal is there other song. It's a beautiful piano song. Amy has such an amazing voice. She is a breath of fresh air for hard rock.
Overall it's a great album. It's got songs from other bands you will recognize like Hoobastank, chevelle, and Moby. Don't miss out on the soundtrack. It's easily the best of the year so far.

I bought this soundtrack after seeing the movie.  The movie was a joy to watch and part of the joy was the music.  I've never listened to Indian music before, and don't know what I would think of this outside of the context of the movie.  It reminds me of new age music, but with more ethnic color.  At least one song also sounds a little Latin American.  So it's a great mix of types, I'm  already familiar with and like, but different because it's Indian.  Some songs are very danceable tunes that sound quite techno! Someone who likes upbeat foreign music and pop would enjoy this.  I love it for the unique sound and, upbeatness. It's something to put the convertible top down for!  I wish the CD package had more information about the songs and which scenes in the movie they're from (which is primarily why I only gave it 4 stars and not 5).  I'll have to see the movie again.

This movie was so good and I liked the music so much I bought the soundtrack. Now it is one of my favorite CDs too!  The title song is beautiful, plus it has Kiss and Neil Diamond and Chris Isaak.  Others mentioned it not having Flock of Seagulls - to me the most notable missing song was "Fool To Cry" by the Rolling Stones; other than that, it completely playable on all levels!

The music is fantastic to this classic movie. The movie was wonderful and the songs and score compliment it very well. I highly recommend seeing the movie and buying the soundtrack. A lot of effort is made in choosing the right music for a movie and they couldn't have done better. Makes me want an Elliot of my very own!

I really enjoyed this movie & the soundtrack is excellent. I couldn't wait to buy this cd. There's lots of great songs on it, my absolute favorite is 'Go All the Way' by Perry Farrell - I'm playing it over & over again...I also love 'Tremble for my Beloved' by Collective Soul (been a fan of theirs since their very first album), I love 'Supermassive Black Hole' by Muse, and a delightful surprise is the songs by Rob Pattinson (Twilight's sexy vampire lead) - 'Never Think' & 'Let Me Sign' - he has a fantastic voice & a wonderful musicality. I look very forward to hearing more of his music. I highly recommend the soundtrack, it's got a great variety of songs, I love pretty much all of them, and it's a cd that you can listen to over & over again...

I love the music on this soundtrack.  "Crazy Youngsters" is one of my favorites here.  I think this song encapsulates the theme of the movie, which is about brave college kids competing in a song competition.  Ester Dean has such a soulful powerful voice.  Anna Kendrick sings the hit song "Cups" in a campfire scene in the movie..  She is accompanied by the equally talented Rebel Wilson and the rest of the Bardem Bella's.  I love all the songs included in the medleys on the soundtrack.  I especially enjoy the songs "Wrecking Ball" and "We Belong" and "Run The World".  These songs may be targeted for young women, but these tunes are so upbeat they appeal to anyone.  Adam Devine sings an entertaining version of "All of Me".  His version is not as touching as the one done by John Legend, but it is still enjoyable to listen to.  Pitch Perfect 2 is the one of the best soundtracks in a long time.  All of the songs are superb.

All I wanna say after watching this movie are "great script, great actors and great music". Although I have not listened to the soundtrack yet but I had an instinct that the songs featured in it will be really cool and also it is a great collection to your soundtrack library. In my point of view, having a volume two wouldn't be a great idea because it is better to owned one really good soundtrack instead of soundtrack in volumes. Lastly, I must say that even though I am not a big fan of rock n roll music but these songs played in the movie were truly inspiring and it all blended very well in the movie.

THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE is one of the Disney animated films that is underrated and not scene or talked about it a lot. The animation and settings are superb. The music is brilliant and the characters very real - for being animated that is.
First off, Mr. Henry Mancini (Pink Panther and the Elephant Walk fame) is the films composer of note. The main theme for Basil (Our Great Mouse Detective) and the subsequent enhancements made by the `dangerous' moments in the play make this score a fantastically orchestrated one.
The story is a little unique in that Basil and his sidekick Dawson (hence Holmes and Watson like) are searching for the abducted father of our little heroin (age 8) Olivia. The plans get complicated as the bad guy; Professor Ratigan tried to take over the mouse world with one evil plan against the mouse queen. Not only is the day saved, but I think the kids will learn a lot about respect, being brave, being honest and what friendship is all about. Nice moral play in this film. You even get inside the famous Big Ben itself.
Now the supreme evil character is voiced by the one and only Vincent Price. Need I say more?
The DVD extras on this one very good as well and surprisingly entertaining. To keep in the clock themes, there are two `time' related shorts that are pretty funny and the behind the scenes documentary are very good as well. There is even a sing-a-long for the kids. This is a delightful edition to the Disney and animated collection of any family. 8-20-02

I love the movie, and the soundtrack is great too. Even though it's by Daft Punk it's not all electronic music; many of the songs are instrumental, or a blend of instruments and electronic music. It has a nice flow and mixture with the type of music ranging from soft/mood music to loud electronic music.

And I mean that in a good way.  Though the movie wasn't as great as the book, the score is its own entity that deserves praise.  It's truly a beautiful, almost "gentle" score, with it's varios tones, melodies, and stringed instruments to make it feel very fantastical.  This is pretty much why it quickly became my favorite bit of sound to listen to before I fall asleep.  If memory serves, the tracks play in the order you hear from the movie, which is always appreciated. There's such a lush variety of soothing beats in this score, it's hard to really pick a favorite track, as they all offer their own type of beauty.

Each track is its own reward to listen to, but I'm partial to "Outer Space, Soul Inside, Into the Cave, Soul Outside, Sun Inside, Dying Soul, and Goodbye Wanderer."

Put simply, if you like subtle tones for your score, this one's for you.

I love this soundtrack. I've played it everyday since I received it. Listening to it prior to seeing the movie was really cool because I got to listen for the tracks to see how they helped tell the story.  Stephenie Meyer is spot on with her interpretations via music and this movie was scored perfectly.  It introduced new bands and different music genres that were previously unbeknownst to me.  I LOVE THIS CD and highly recommed it.

This is definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen and part of the reason is the musical score. I am so glad I purchased this soundtrack because now when I don't have the time to sit down and watch the movie I can still listen to the soundtrack!

This movie is funny, exciting and spectacular.  It brings a lot of laughs and excitments.  For the story, it is a well-written and there are no plots that are not making sense.  For the acting, this is one of the memorable one.  Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway play well as their leading roles.  For the direction, they are well-planned.  For the visuals, they are good.  For the music, this is the best because the music are so like James Bond and the spy.  Overall, it is a great movie and I like it.

Specially if you are a musician, music lover or anything related to that. The movie is one of a kind with an original plot, great actors (the kid is amazing) and even if you don't like the story (which in my opinion is beautiful) it is all worth it just to hear the music... It should go for the oscar for best soundtrack wow. On the purchase there's no much to say since amazon's service has always been excellent on timing and quality of the products. Thanks once again.

I love this movie. It has a stellar cast, right down to the supporting actors. The soundtrack fits the scenes perfectly, as any great soundtrack should.  It has a multi-faceted, character-driven, storyline, as we see these high school friends, back together for their ten year reunion, finally grow up. There is both sadness and humor in the story, especially in the poignant, star-crossed relationship between the adult, Willie (Timothy Hutton) and the too young tween, Marty (Natalie Portman). While the other characters in the movie have their own subplots with various emotional twists and turns, it is the relationship between Willie and Marty that is central to the development of Willie into full adulthood and provides us with a glimpse of how we change from childhood to adulthood. The all-star cast does an excellent job with the intimate dialogue and emotional twists of the script. It's a movie you will want to watch again and again.

Now, I normally do not purchase soundtracks, but I thought that the movie had really terrific music that was often approiate for the scene. Whenever I hear "So Alive" I think of the scene between Paul and Sean. "The Gentleman that Fell" paints a picture in my head of the character Lauren. The music brings the movie to life, as you will be able to tell after listening to this soundtrack.

But I must say, there is one song that is an essential that is missing. Can you guess what it is? George Michael's "Faith". The scene in which that song is played just always makes me smile and even laugh, and it's a true shame that that song is not on the soundtrack. That is the simple reason that I can not give this CD a 5 star review. But hey, this CD is definetly worth my time and cold hard cash. Enjoy!
