Loosely based on the popular Disney theme park audio-animatronic ride, one might expect a modicum of good-natured "Yo-ho-ho-ing"--or maybe a little rousing Korngold/Errol Flynn/Captain Blood orchestral romanticism--here. Instead composer Klaus Badelt initially entices us with some sparing Celtic folk charm, then unleashes a furious broadside of symphonic and choral thunder to rival his ominous score for K-19. The composer's fellow German mentor is an obvious influence throughout (the album is credited with a wink as "Score overproduced by Hans 'Long John' Zimmer") but Badelt brings his own muscular instincts to bear throughout. Perhaps shrewdly realizing that genre cliches are nothing if not for reinventing, Badelt delivers his rhythmically nervous Eurocentric sensibilities--sort of Holst duels Shostakovich on the Spanish Main--with the subtlety of a scorching cannonball. It's seasoned with a little romantic respite in the final act, if a bit gingerly, and could no doubt profit by some of Korngold's sparkling melodic verve. But it's a loud, unabashed Summer Blockbuster score at heart; alert the neighbors. --Jerry McCulley

 EXCELLENT!!!! October 27, 2008
Highlander (Houston, TX USA)
Very well put together. Hans Zimmer is a GENIUS! This soundtrack from start to finish takes you on an adventure that you could sense even if your eyes were closed while you listened to it. Each track sets its own mood and was very appropriately placed in the movie itself. I'd recommend this to anybody.
My FAVORITE Soundtrack all time!! September 7, 2008

 good February 18, 2008
Movie Lover
i liked it, but i wish it was longer!! the songs are very good, though i'm sure they can't POSSIBLY have all the music from the movie on it... but i did like it and the songs get stuck in your head very easily!! i listened to it once and had to again and again because i liked it so much! the only thing preventing me from giving it a five star is the short length... but it is still a great soundtrack!
Zimmer influence February 6, 2008
Kiffen Schutz (Harrogate, TN USA)
If you have listened to any of Hans Zimmer's work, this sounds quite like it.
Listen to Barbarian Horde from Gladiator (about the middle of the track on to the end), and then listen to He's a Pirate. Almost identical themes used.
I'm not complaining, as there usually isn't too much of a good thing.
All in all, a decent soundtrack, something you feel like a pirate with and it makes you want to go out and swashbuckle something...
Great instrumental soundtrack! January 18, 2008
Nicole M. Richards
This is a great soundtrack. When you listen to it, you feel as though you are watching the film. The composition of the music is just wonderful!
