As anybody with functioning ears can attest, Lalo Schifrin's theme for the original Mission: Impossible TV series remains among the highlights of 1960s scoring: Schifrin proved you could write action themes that oozed cool. His taut, inventive approach has been replaced in recent years by a more bloated orchestral bent--though if you're going to have that, you might as well pick someone with Michael Giacchino's sense of suspenseful dynamics. Overall, Giacchino proves more adept than Hans Zimmer did on the franchise's second installment in 2000, even though symptoms of too-much-itis creep in (the Hollywood Studio Symphony includes 39 violinists, 14 cellists, and 9 percussionists!). Schifrin's presence looms heavily over this CD, and not only because it starts with the original theme and ends with the bonus track "Schifrin and Variations" (which does not appear in the film). Giacchino quotes his predecessor almost constantly throughout: references to the main theme zip in and out of "Factory Rescue," "Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall," "Masking Agent," and "See You in the Sewer," for instance. But the younger man holds his own quite well against such a giant shadow, and confirms his credentials as a thrill-a-minute composer. Indeed, this is one of the finest action scores to come out in the past few years. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

M:I:III was one of the best action films of the year, and the soundtrack doesn't dissapoint. Mixed on this CD is a colorful rendering of frenzical action cues, licking brass and percussion, love themes, and of course, the old faithful "Mission Impossible" theme. Also impressive are the furied string passages that highly resemble those of John Williams or Jerry Goldsmith.
Giacchino may very well become one of the 21st century's great talents, let's hope his career continues as well as ... Read More

This soundtrack is very good. They are so explosive, tense and of course, it does match the total excitement for this movie. For example, I like several tracks including track 1, 4, 7, 18, 19 and 20. They are simply a bomb. So, it is a good CD overall.

Giacchino's done an impressive job weaving his musical style with Lalo Schifrin's original theme and musical approach. I can't quite describe Giacchino's style. He employed a large 115-member orchestra for the score. There are jazzy moments in the score, much like Lalo did in the early M:i TV show. Giacchino's score adds tension to moments and compliments action on the screen. Two examples of his approach are "Evacuation" and "Shang Way Hi". My favorite track is "Shang Way hi" because of the ... Read More

Michael Giacchino's score for Mission: Impossible 3 is an excellent blend of action music and a grat adaption of Schiffen's classic music. As he did with the Incredibles, Giacchino shows the ability to write a classic score that fits perfectly with the film and stands up well on its own. Probably the best of the three Mission scores. Elfman's matched his own style, Zimmer's matched his, but Giacchino's matched Mission:Impossibles.

This is with no doubt the second best Mission Impossible movie franchise score, composed by the talented Michael Giachino (previous works includes Disney's The Impossibles, Alias and others) and may I say that he does a terrific job and deserves all the applauses. The melodies he has reached are exciting and suits the movie style pretty well. I even like this score more than I liked Hans Zimmer's MI-2 work. However, I still prefer Danny Elfman's Mission Impossible score. I totally agree with other ... Read More
