Loved the music and how well it complimented the movie. This is what a score is supposed to do; support the picture by capturing the emotions and actions musically. I thought this second score was better than the first. However many times the reviewer wants to criticize Zimmer for being Zimmer, he won't change, and shouldn't.

But that's the frustrating thing about Zimmer these days. Both this and Rango had entertaining scores, but neither of them were well-represented on their albums. I just got back from watching Game of Shadows and I'm really annoyed at how much quality score material they left off the album in favor of the cute source-like pieces, many of which didn't even show up in the movie. So unless Zimmer finally starts producing his albums better, he won't make it past the troposphere.
