...The scene where Mr Incredible is infiltrating Syndrome's island lair is pure James Bond.//

The lair itself is pure Bond. I would swear the monorail cars are exactly the monorail cars from You Only Live Twice.

hi

First, it's michael Giacchino.

Second, why people don't understand that it's easier to reproduce the bond sound from the sixites than creating a new bond sound ?

Totally agree with you there, level. It's common in Hollywood to get a relative unknown while they're still cheap to hire so the director can say "give me the Bond sound" or "I want the Goldsmith sound." That's what happened early on in James Horner's career with the likes of Battle Beyond the Stars and the 2nd Star Trek movie.

p.S.: I love whwat Giacchino did on the Alias series and the Incredibles.

As do I, and it highlights that this guy just might have some real talent because the music for the two is so diferent. I'm looking forward to listening to the score when I buy the CD.

I'd love to hear more from The Incredibles in particular.

I quite agree Brian Flagg. I cannot be sure now where it was I first heard that music track for the preview of The Incredibles, but it took me a few seconds to figure out exactly where I'd heard it before.

[Johnboy007]

Probably going to pick this one up tonight, see if it lives up it to the hype.

[Johnboy007]

I've not seen the movie, so the track titles are a bit odd; but that is beside the point. So far track 4: "Bob vs. the Omnidrop" sounds right out of Goldfinger" as does the beginning of "Lava in the Afternoon". The music, coupled with extra credit in English class may draw me to see this sometime over the weekend.

Also: "Kronos Unveiled" has some strikingly similar sounds to John William's "Across the Stars" from Attack of the Clones.

[MattofSteel]

Yeah, pretty Bondian sounding clip. Everyone tells me this movie is so amazing, perhaps I should actually go see it.....

[deth]

it's kids movie with LOTS of adult jokes.....


great movie. Lots of innocent fun. (just like the Moore 007 films )

[weejay]

There is only one thing to do...
Bring back Barry.

Just got The Incredibles for Christmas - man, I've been waiting for this ever since they announced that Giacchino would compose the score. I've been a fan of his ever since I got Medal Of Honor Frontline, which had a phenominal score. I then got the CD and fell in love with his music. Anyway, I finally gave the CD a listen-to today, and it's just fantastic. Giacchino is an amazing composer, and I look forward to hearing more from him in the future. Although, I'm very content with Arnold's Bond scores, and would rather keep with him as composer.

My sentiments exactley

[Von Hammerstein]

I'm still listening to the Incredibles soundtrack. Each time I hear a nuance a similarity I hadn't before. Besides the big brassy songs like "The Glory Days" , "Bob Vs The OmniDroid" and "Life's Incredible Again" I'm really enjoying the "mood" themes of "New and Improved" and "Kronos Unveiled" is Giacchino's version of "Capsule in Space/Space March" It gives me goosebumps. I still hope EON lives up to the creedo of returning Bond to his roots both cinematically and muscially. I'd love to see Bond 21 scored by this guy. He is a major talent in the film music biz.

[marktmurphy]

I was a bit underwhemed by the score. It's not very Barry- much more American retro-kitsch in style. And full of those cheap-sounding cymbal crashes I think I remember. Certainly very little in the way of themes.
I think Johnny English succeeds in being a Bond pastische with original elements more than this does.

[Blofeld's Cat]

Finally bought and listened to this soundtrack.

I can see where it sounds a little bit like Bond, but as the liner notes say it's more in keeping with the many spy & caper comedies of the 60's. Johnny Dankworth and Johnny (John) Williams immediately spring to mind.

Still, one of the best scores in 2004. Cetainly top 10.

[Blofeld's Barber]

[Catspaw]

I think I'll pass on the soundtrack, but I'm looking forward to picking up the DVD tomorrow.

[Blofeld's Cat]

It's being on the shelves in the Bali street markets for over a month now, and although I'm told that the street copy IS complete, I'm hanging out for the official release.

[Catspaw]

Well, I just watched the movie and the special features. The movie rocks as much as it did in the theatre.

Overall, the special features were good, but the "Jack-Jack Attack" cartoon was weak and felt truncated, and it's supposed to be the main piece of extra candy you get for buying the disc. Also, the bloopers were in the style of Shrek's rendering errors as opposed to Pixar's fantastic characters flubbing their lines and missing their marks. That was a pretty big letdown for me. On the plus side, there is a whole section on all the other supers we only got to see teeny bits of in the movie.

There's also the same preview for their next film Cars that we've already seen. Kind of like the belt buckle trailer they ran for The Incredibles for a year before we saw anything else.

The movie gets 5 out 5. The special features only a 3.

[Blofeld's Cat]

Catspaw, what was the "alternate begining" like?

[Catspaw]

It was done as an animatic with voice stand-ins. For those who don't know what an animatic is, you take storyboards, scan them in, cut them up and make limited animation movies from them.

It was interesting to see, along with other scenes that didn't make the final cut, but they were all stopped at the early development stage. What got rendered was the final story and not much beyond it seems.

LOL!

They Pre-viz" annimated movies too!?

[homerjbond]

They also included the Pixar short "Boundin'", which was shown prior to The Incredibles in theaters.

Michael Giacchino did a great job with the Barry-esque music, even some parts reminded me of Goldfinger...

[Bondian]

What the hell?. What a load of rubbish this movies is. And, why the deuce did the film makers have the audacity to include John Barry's 007 theme in the trailers?.

This has got to be the worst animated feature I've ever seen.

Hollywood, get a grip. What the hells happened?.

I could ask that of you mate.

First a tirade on Dr Who now on The Incredibles.

Chill out, dude.

[Bondian]

I'm sorry BC.

I was hoping this movie might of lived up to it's hype.

[Blofeld's Cat]

While it's that time of the year....

Happy easter eggs!

[Athena007]

I'm just not into animation films or tv shows.

Well, unless it's The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, EXO Squad, Sailor Moon...
...or James Bond Jr
