What are legends if not for reinventing -- and/or hyper-inflating into Hollywood summer fare? In retooling the Arthurian legend for the goth-beguiled video game age, mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer did away with details small (the lady in the lake, sword in the stone, etc.) and large (this Arthur is actually Eastern European, by way of Rome). Composer Hans Zimmer picks up that gauntlet, producing an orchestral score bristling with massed brass, chorus and percussion -- if little of the indigenous mysticism that made his work on Gladiator/ so rewarding. What there is of that precious commodity is frontloaded via the song "Tell Me Know (What You See)," his evocative opening collaboration with Clannad's Moya Brennan. From there, Zimmer emphasized this version's Eastern conceits with a half-dozen suites of cues that thunder in the Russian classical tradition -- and all the melodic range of "Jingle Bells." Zimmer--not to mention Poledouris--has done it better, but fans of outsized orchestral Gothic moodfests may yet take this one to heart. --Jerry McCulley

Hans Zimmer's powerhouse score for King Arthur was easily the best thing about the movie. Antoine Fuqua's pseudo-epic film was poorly conceived, historically apalling, and suffered from studio-neutering to get a PG-13.

I was very tempted after the first and second listening to want to rename this score 'Variations on a theme by Moya Brennan,' but that would only be a cheeky disservice to the album. I was extremely happy with this album, and not just because I am a fan of Zimmer in general. While 'King Arthur' is thematically simpler than some of his other works (read: Gladiator), the overall score does not suffer for it. The way Zimmer incorporates the theme found in Moya Brennan's song (co-written by Zimmer) into ... Read More

I write fundraising materials for a living. Fundraising materials need a strongly emotional core: they have to break hearts. To stay in the mood as I write, I feast on movie soundtracks. Gladiator is a winner. Last Samurai is a winner. And now I'm adding King Arthur. It is brave, true, heroic, full of the stuff of human struggle.
