The score just about ruined the movie. Totally wrong. Where's David Arnold or Elliot Goldenthal when you need them?

If their was one movie i wanted to see it was the X-men. The new adaptation of the marval comic from 20th Century Fox and director Bryan Singer. His long time composer collaborator John Ottman who scored all his past films had to step down because he was directing Urban Legend 2. If there was one composer i thought who would of composed the score was Danny Elfman. But it is Michael Kamen who scores this. It has thrilling action music and some fun techno grooves. When Kamen is at his best it is The Museum Fight and Final Showdown.

As if the movie wasn't good enough, it became even better with Micheal Kamen's brilliant score! Who cares if the soundtrack is only 40 minutes long, it's good stuff! He provides a refreshing and thrilling mix of action/suspense music, mixing all the instruments beautifully! Some of my favorite tracks: Death Camp, Cerebro, The X-Jet, and Statue of Liberty. If you liked Kamen's work on Iron Giant or Die Hard, you're gonna' LOVE this music! Pick it up now!

Wow, great score. If theres one guy I wanted to do this besides Elfman, its Kamen. Beautiful, it is. Great techno grooves, and cool background music. Although, if youre looking for the X-Men tv show theme, its not here, sorry.

Behind this film is a group of men who put together one of the best crime dramas ever made. One of the men on this team was John Ottman; the man who is now associated with composing and conducting X-Men's score.
When I saw The Usual Suspects, there was a technical "something" that I had never seen before in big-budget Hollywood films. The composer and the editor were one in the same. Upon knowing this I immediately recognized how brilliant this idea was. Its result was a score which, in isolation, held all of the twists and turns of the narrators storytelling. Scenes of dialouge accompanied by score like I had never seen before.
One thing about Ottman that he did in The Usual Suspects, and he does with the X-Men score, is how classic he is. His music gives the gut-wrenching aural effects of the music from Vertigo, The Twilight Zone, and other "Hitchcock-esque" stylings.
Through listening to the score for X-Men, I can see the plot unfold without even seeing the movie. Is that a bad thing? I don't think so. It shows how much of a musical detailist he is, yet still be able to make something enchantingly listenable in isolation. This music will definitely assist in pulling the audience into the story through every twist, turn, action and emotion. It seems to me that Mr. Ottman studied more than just music, but that he also studied music psychology.
