We all have heard the mix-reviews about Danny Elfman`s Batman Returns soundtrack, even if its recorded on an orchestral house studio or the bizarre array of sounds this CD has to offer, its a jewel amoung Elfman`s scores, not because its batman, its the way he arrange it , also the similitudes with after soundtracks "The Night Before Christmas", "Spiderman", "Men In Black".
Its the way Elfman scores, that its stampled all in this CD. I know some people found Batman Returns a little bit odd, for batman fans this soundtrack its just a beauty, portraits enough elements to sit there and listen thourgh all the score(not like Batman Begins that sounds like, mmmmmm The Rock??....thanks Zimmer for screwing up!) well as i was saying even if you are not a fan you will found this radical, odd, holidayish soundtrack just as fun and entretaining as a roller coaster, if you have the chance to buy it, do it!! its an Elfman must buy cd.
I give 4 stars for the develop on the character themes, good action features and a hell of a good ending song (Face To Face), i can forgive the recording this time just for the above!
