レビュー (Amazon)
Prologue out the way, the second cue ("Exiled") of Jerry Goldsmith's 13th Warrior score is a perfect summation of what to expect and why. Lace in a sub-Indiana Jones fanfare, and these 55 minutes could come straight out of The Mummy, the movie he completed just before working on this one. It's not unknown for Goldsmith to bleed stylistically from one picture to the next, but this is bleeding ridiculous! Making the main distinction between the two scores, however, is an uncredited male chorus doing what's expected of them in shouting "Viking" at you (although even they slide into Goldsmith's Russian sound from Air Force One). You can't fault any of the instrumentation choices (except perhaps the occasional alarmingly twee electronic effect), nor the powerful effect of what is extremely well orchestrated music. But the 13th Warrior score suffers like the film itself from applying 1990's thinking onto an historical backdrop. It all looks and sounds wonderful, but even the slightest dissection reveals the Hollywood hangover of over-familiarity. --Paul Tonks
