I found my first spin of this score good but not great -- to my tired ears it seemed like the same material was being repeated over and over. But each new listen reveals more and more just how wrong I was. Pretty magnificent stuff. And for a change I actually enjoy the song. Usually I program the songs right out of scores, but this slow, dark rendition seems to fit the material very well. It is a fabulous score. I admit, it is NOT chock full 'o themes - JNH is perfectly capable of writing melodic, theme-driven scores, but for whatever reason, this score doesn't rely on them. There is a theme or motif ( i suppose for Jolie's character) which is repeated a few times, however. That being said, the score is great. The track "The Christening" alone is worth the price of admission And yes - the song is actually pretty good. It isn't an attempt at a hit single, but rather something designed to actually complement the film, and it works. A very unusual, very good song. Best score of the year so far.

I'm going to see this tonight. Does it suck or not suck? How is the score? Does it suck or not suck? I think you will enjoy the movie Peter. Have to take a rain check. On the way to the movie the car dies. Think it's the alternator so we'll have to see it another night. Poopy Poopy.

A decade ago it might have been fairly average James Newton Howard. In 2014, it is the score of the year so far by quite some margin. IMOIMOIMOIMO
