 Exemplary, my dear Watson... June 12, 2010
Richard Bowden (UK)
Zimmer has written some great stuff over the years (Gladiator, Prince of Egypt) as well taking on less memorable assignments. Scoring this new Holmes he surely has excelled himself, creating action out of striking anachronistic inspiration. The main theme seems a deliberate relation of the old 'Oranges and Lemons' tune (explicitly quoted at one point) while the honky tonk instrumentation and oomph-pa moments in his score add to the atmosphere. Elsewhere Zimmer includes deep cellos as well as a second, more winding theme, which racks up the emotional tension.
This listener was reminded by turn of Barry's Ipcress File, Steptoe and Son and even, during odd slow moments, Cheyenne's Theme from One Upon a Time in The West. But Zimmer brings a drama and urgency all of his own to the musical show. The result is compulsive and memorable listening with no real weak tracks.
This is one of the films where, on further viewings, one waits over for the music and image to slip together satisfyingly, at times complimenting each other like a hand in glove - a sure sign that, for once, things are done well. The liberating moment of Holmes' and Watson's first trip down the Thames for instance, or the climactic scurrying from Commons to Tower Bridge, right down to the dark, jubilant start of the end credits. The album recalls all those moments and can recommended thoroughly.
DIVERSE HANS ZIMMER SCORE IDEALLY FITS THE ON-SCREEN CAPERS! March 12, 2010

Yet another film based on Sir Arthur Conon Doyle's famous detective cleaned up at the New Year's box-office and this time around, Guy Ritchie's SHERLOCK HOLMES proved to be unlike anything achieved by those vintage Basil Rathbone screen adaptations; concentrating instead on humorous high jinks with imposing views of old London in helping Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law solve the crimes and bring the evil perpetrators to the eye of the law. Hans Zimmer has previously supplied music for THE DARK KNIGHT, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, ANGELS AND DEMONS and FROST/NIXON plus numerous Hollywood scores reaching back to 1982. This time around he utilises varied instrumentation to convey the fun of the on-screen capers and opens with the engaging DISCOMBOBULATE which sets the scene for the orchestral fun and games throughout the remainder of the film; with the darker hues of IS IT POISON, NANNY?; the full orchestral power of MARITAL SABOTAGE and off-kilter I NEVER WOKE UP IN HANDCUFFS BEFORE complete with gypsy violins. However, NOT IN BLOOD, BUT IN BOND slows the pace as does AH, PUTREFACTION with a stirring finale portrayed by CATATONICTES. This Oscar nominated score entertains even without the visuals but seeing the film naturally accentuates the understanding of this diverse work.

A highly original and inventive soundtrack. The music really stands out in the film while perfectly matching Ritchie's reinvention of Holmes at the same time. Highly recommended
Perfect! January 6, 2010

A very good soundtrack for what I thought was a very good film. Normally I would leave the cinema directly as the film finishes but this soundtrack was so good I sat through all the end credits just to listen to the music. Well worth a listen.
