Now, don't get me wrong, I loved the score, and I am a huge fan of John Williams (I've got 6 or his soundtracks that I can think of and I would have three times that many if I only had the money), and I certainly don't regret buying the soundtrack, but I was a little let down by "The Phantom Menace." His "Duel of Fates" is incredible. Right up there with "Ode to the Fallen" and "Hedgewig's Theme," but I think he could have done more with the rest. I did like the "Parade of Flags" and the "Droid Invasion" and the way he forshadows the "Imerial March" in "Anakin's Theme," but there seems to be a lack of a melody in many places where there could be. For example; the music from the pod race fits the action perfectly, but I couldn't repeat the music very easliy. In "The Empire Strikes Back" he managed to write an actual melody to the action in "The Asteriod Field" and the same holds true for the "Forest Battle" and "Here They Come." Most of "Phantom" sounds like action music without the melody. There are a few redeeming points of the soundtrack, and boy, are they amazing! They certainly make up for all the dead time in between. Don't bother responding to this and saying that I'm crazy. I already know I'm outnumbered, but is there anyone else who feels this way?
