Composer
Ramin Djawadi's score for director Louis Leterrier's 2010 reboot of the 1982 Greek mythology epic Clash of the Titans sounds exactly as one would expect from an artist nurtured by
Hans Zimmer. While the opening cut, a dark electronic/orchestral pop collaboration with
Massive Attack's
Neil Davidge and sultry Danish vocalist
Tina Dico, shows promise (imagine a dark fantasy version of a James Bond title sequence), what follows could be superimposed over nearly any other film in the sci-fi/fantasy genre. Short heroic themes, deafening percussion, and appropriately swelling brass abound, but the whole affair ultimately remains there up on the screen, waiting to be called upon again and again and again, just like the Kraken. ~ James Christopher Monger
