Iron Man Soundtrack
I've been a fan of Iron Man for years and to see the movie and hear the music was incredible. The music (I believe) captures the essence of who and what Iron Man is and brings great emotion to the film.

Mildly Enjoyable, not Exceptional
There were some parts of Iron Man with such thrilling background music that I had to buy the CD. Now I wish I had saved my money for another purchase. I realized that the music thrilled me because the movie complemented the music -- not the other way around.

It's not that the music is badly done, or that it doesn't have its moments. It's that it is obviously "movie mood music," and that's all. Its greatest sin is that it is unremarkable. Except for a couple of strangely enjoyable tracks that I never would have suspected would become favorites, most of it is forgettable. One thing that also made me a bit unhappy was that they neglected the awesome "Black Sabbath" remix played during the credits. And one of the songs -- "Institutionalized" -- is downright irritating!

As to its pros, I am particularly fond of the little "Iron Man" ditty taken from the old cartoon theme song -- it is so jazzy and deliciously old school! And also, as I like to write, I enjoy having the music as background sound. It isn't quite inspirational, but it's supportive enough.

If you're a fan of Hans Zimmer, you'll like this.
It came as no surprise to me when I noticed in the end credits of the film that Hans Zimmer was involved in the making of this soundtrack. Though the film score credit actually went to Ramin Djawadi, Hans Zimmer's influence was undeniable. Anyone noticed how similar it was to certain sections of the score for Rain Man? Yes, the score was similar to some of Hans Zimmer's work, but it's different enough to still sound new and exciting. It's so good that I consider it one of the best soundtracks in recent years.

Great Upbeat Music!
The soundtrack has diversity and the feel of the tension that the movie portrays. I wish they would have left off track 19 and replaced it with the music that was played during the credits.
