Hamlette here again, to discuss another enjoyable soundtrack.
I almost didn't go see Hercules (2014) in the theater last summer. I do enjoy Dwayne Johnson's movies, but I don't know a lot about the Greek gods and goddesses, and the trailers for this didn't really grab me. But I'm glad I did, because it turned out to be a truly fun movie, not serious, but not too cheesy either. In fact, I went to see it twice, and ended up buying the DVD too!
The music fits it incredibly well, with lots of gutsy action stuff, bold and epic. Hands-down, my favorite track is "Arrival at Lord Cotys' City." It's full of swagger and bravado, and makes me want to hop in a chariot and do a victory lap around the city.
But I also really like "The Lion's Tooth" because it's a complete change of pace from most of the other tracks. It's soft and tender, a quiet moment in the middle of all the mayhem. I like soundtracks that don't sound all the same all the time -- variety is important! Even a big, brawny action movie needs some quiet time, and I like the soundtrack to reflect that too.
That's all for today, friends! I hope you're enjoying this series of guest posts as much as I am.
We were going to continue with the 30 movie challenge but there is another awesome trailer that has come out. The Bourne Legacy! It is kind of a sequel to the original Bourne Trilogy except without Matt Damon. Last year we have become big fans of The Bourne Movies so we are excited to see this. And you might recognize the guy in the trailer he is Jeremy Renner, who will be playing Hawkeye in The Avengers. From all the amazing trailers 2012 might be the best year ever for movies. And after the past year that will be hard to do. If you want to know morw about The Bourne Trilogy click on the links below to check out our reviews for the movies.
