I think he developed a great score with lots of flavour. Sure, the danger theme makes appearance in the score, but it is overpowered by other themes in the movie.
shareyes the soundtrack is great
Long is the way And hard, that out of Hell leads up to light.
Loved it better than anything else, but that might be because I marched to it
shareYeah, it was an excellent score, suited this movie really well.

Eternal Sunshine - Best film ever
First off, I love the score.
Second off, I liked it just as well the first time I heard it, when Miklos Rozsa wrote it for El Cid.
I kid (slightly). But seriously, James Horner did some heavy "borrowing" from Rozsa's score for sure.
Totally agree. A beautiful and oft-overlooked score.

The thing I like about James Horner is how well suited his scores are to their movies. Zorro has the perfect selection of music style and instruments that if you were listening to it over the radio and not familiar with it, it might still remind you of Zorro. He might use similar themes, but he definitely is adept at recognizing what theme and role his score should play. Another great example is Braveheart. Fits that movie perfectly
In regards to this movie, while I don't think it's his overall best, it's still a great soundtrack that I own. My favorite track is probably The Ride (that track is just so fun, if you know what I mean) followed closely by A Tornado in the Barracks. The album itself reminds me a little of another Horner score, Troy, with great heroic elements and a pop ballad to close the CD.
As an aside, my favorite of Horner's work is probably either Glory or Legends of the Fall. That's just personal preference though.
