Review
An incredible mixture of conventional Zimmer action music (think of “The Rock”, “Crimson Tide”), parade marches, tunes that smell of adventure, and circus music. When Hans Zimmer lets his synthesized orchestra and his famous male choir loose on this CD, it's pure fun. He quotes a bit from his aforementioned works, but most of the music really is original. Besides all the excitement, there are also many slow passages that are worth listening to. This must be one of the best “unknown” soundtracks of Hans Zimmer.
