I note the film grossed an impressive $3m at the box office. Perhaps, just perhaps, the problem with it in its earlier showings wasn't James Horner's music.

Well it cut out too much of the Shakespeare (and annoyingly added in some non-Shakespeare) but my wife and I saw the film in theater and quite enjoyed it, thanks to the gorgeous music, production, and cinematography. And Paul Giamatti as Friar Lawrence was great. Yavar

Just screened this (I'm a Film projectionist) and heard Sneakers, Apollo 13 and The Pelican Brief everywhere in the score and it doesn't sound like the original scores cut into a temp track. Sounds like all new score, but heavily influenced by the above three. Weird! Horner recorded the score this past December, but it sounds so much like his mid-90's work. Yup! 7 years later. That's what I heard screening the movie with Horner's score.

It's true, there a lot of Hornerisms but there's also a lot of lovely and unashamedly romantic stuff that I really like. He's been always been one of my favorite composers. But truth be told, Korzeniowski's better.
