Rating: - Somber And Interesting, Yet Somewhat Noisy
Quite frankly, I enjoy superhero scores when they sound like opera, like "Superman-The Movie", or when they sound urban, like the Spider-Man scores. Unfortunately, "Daredevil" is like "Batman Begins": interesting moments, but with electronic noise that sometimes bother.
On the plus side, Graeme Revell presents a very interesting main theme for the Marvel hero; since we're talking about a vigilante that looks for justice at night like Batman, it's quite fitting that the theme sounds dark with a little nobility in the mix. 'Young Matt's Father' actually presents the theme for Matt Murdock's interrupted innocence as he is left blind by a batch of radioactive waste; the theme is simple and the use of the piano adds a little delicacy. Matt's dark side is best represented on the track 'The Darkest Hour', where Daredevil's theme is played in a way that we start feeling his loneliness and questioning whether his motives are worth it or not. Then we have the loveliest part of this score: 'Elektra' begins with guitar, combined with strings, a female voice, and a little of synthesizers; it's definitely touching without being cheesy.
On the minus side, I really hate the techno sound of 'The Kingpin' -it's completely annoying. And like the score for "Batman Begins", there is the electronic noise that I dislike when listening to an album, especially in the tracks 'Bullseye', 'Hell's Kitchen' and 'Nachio's Assassination'.
Graeme Revell's "Daredevil" has some interesting moments and has some moments that make me long for the classical epic scores of the past. Now in an age when film music is filled with electronics, eastern styles, and wailing women, I can't help but wonder where the music I'm so fond of is going to in the 21st century.
