I don't want to sound like a broken record here, but this was flat-out phenomenal; one of the most satisfying theater experiences I've had in a long while.
Miller fired on all cylinders to get this thing made, and, boy, is it a thing of beauty. There's at least $100+mm up there, on the screen, exploding and revving and bleeding and dying. This isn't just one of the best action films of the past decade; this is a work of brutal art brought to startling life.
I wouldn't change a single thing about it - perfect casting, excellent writing, just enough story-meat to spell things out but not so much that we're bogged down with exposition that doesn't further the story. Miller's film is like a heavyweight fighter with 3% body fat - it's all meat, no filler.
Theron is a fucking beast. Hardy was much more of a force than I had been anticipating.
Junkie XL's score was so fitting and triumphant. Full of big, bold moments and constantly building up to massive set pieces.
I'll certainly be seeing it again very soon.

I'm not crazy about a lot of this score, but I have to agree that Brothers in Arms is pretty damned amazing.

Junkie XL began composing before he had a finished edit to score to... I imagine a lot of the cues on the deluxe edition are the full "jams" before they were edited to fit picture.

I may have missed it herein, but is there (or will there be) a deluxe version on CD? I see there's vinyl, there's iTunes, any CD love for a deluxe edition?

It doesn't appear to be so. And we can now officially state that Watertower is the most schizophrenic soundtrack label around!
Well, call it cutting off my own nose to spite my face, but I don't buy soundtracks on CD when the label gives me half of what they make available on downloads. And I don't buy downloads. It's beyond frustrating. It'd be one thing if the soundtrack was available exclusively as a download, but it's not like a CD weighs more with more tracks on it. It. Is. Nutso.
