Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Film scorer Hans Zimmer, who helped pioneer the seamless technological merging of electronic and acoustic instruments in film scoring, has long had an interest in musical fusion. But in scoring director John Woo's action-sopped Tom Cruise star vehicle, Zimmer has concocted a wildly uneven stew of electronica, flamenco, rock, medieval, and world music that's about as subtle as Cruise's career ambitions. There are moments of surprising tranquility (Zimmer's duet with Heitor Periera on the Spanish-guitar-driven "Nyah") amid the pulsing beats and blaring samples, and even a few passages reminiscent of his other summer 2000 blockbuster, Gladiator. But as a musical stew, this one could use another dollop of simple meat and potatoes; it's certainly a long way from The Lion King, The Thin Red Line, As Good As It Gets, or any of his other best scores. --Jerry McCulley

Great soundtrack overall with only a few shortcomings. It successfully mixes classic Spanish style with the Mission Impossible theme and Zimmer's traditional "grandiose movie epic" style.

This score is remarkable. It manages to use so many cliched ideas and yet seems so original. Hans ZImmer has done a masterful job on creating such a blockbuster and enjoyable score.

My only problem with this score is the MI:2 theme itself which reduces the tension and atmosphere ... Read More

For starters: I wrote a review for this score (along with numerous others) here on Amazon.com about 3 years ago, and if you look carefully, it's like #25 here... As I laugh (or cry) at my naivete (and poor, poor writing skills), I am also bewildered at how I actually gave this score 2 stars. My guess is I never went in with an open mind and gave it a chance.
This is a hugely entergetic score that offers a bit of everything and is probably one of Zimmer's best albums of the 90's. I despised the ... Read More
