Most modern Hollywood films have musical "temp tracks" laid in as they're edited, usually classical standards or music from other soundtracks that helps shape the dramatic and emotional intentions of works in progress. Sometimes these temp tracks become the score (as in "2001"), but more often they serve as a template for the film's eventual scorer. That said, we'll boldly climb out on a limb and opine that director Ridley Scott was listening to a whole lot of Holst's The Planets as he was cobbling together his modern gladiator epic. Credit Hans Zimmer for taking "Mars, the Bringer of War" and hammering its familiar harmonic and rhythmic Sturm und Drang into something serviceably fresh; cohort Lisa Gerrard generally handles the more ethereal, atmospheric passages. As epic in scope as its thematic inspiration (and with enough occasional nods to "authenticity" to make it work), this is nonetheless a work of often surprising nuances, and one that recasts the traditional heroic orchestral score in deliciously dark and ominous tones. Warning: repeated listening may inspire the invasion of neighboring countries. --Jerry McCulley

I like this soundtrack, loved the movie and the music in the background. My favorite is track 5 which features Lisa Gerrard's voice.

This is not a memorable score - But it does invoke this suberb films memories ( Rozsa - Diomkin - North - NOT! ~ What happened to melody?).
This DECCA CD is the bottom of the barrel - NO INFORMATION WHATSOEVER! No timings - No bios. - Zimmer (we know) - But who is Lisa Gerrard? Does she not diserve a bio? - A CD DISGRACE!
If you liked the film, get it, it is not something that you will listen to often, but it does envoke the film. - This idiotic release is strictly to cash in on its ... Read More

An amazing collaboration between Hanz Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard bring both the film and the soundtrack to life. From great battle sequences to strong emotional themes, this music has everything to take you back to the great gladiatorial arena.

It was all I expected and more. A great collection and mixture of intense, up beat, high action musical sequences, and soft, sad, slow portions that are truly beautiful.

Beautiful music and the whole cd is good. Nice movie soundtrack, and just very enjoyable. Many times soundtracks are only partly good, but in this movie the compositions were wonderful all the way through.
