I am Legend is finally a James Newton Howard the more substantial and grossangelegteren variety. Fans of music like The Postman or Waterworld come here get their money. Much thematic and motivic material is ready (usually based Howard his score on a in the first piece of "My Name is Robert Neville" introduced 4-note motif that he can skillfully expand to a longer theme). The first four tracks are supported by the voluminous and voluptuous orchestral, sometimes by a chorus or a solo part, dominated. Only now and then in introverted solo passages (mostly piano) waving that give a hint of hopelessness and sadness from themselves. I am Legend is James Newton Howard's best film music for King Kong. On CD, the music leaves a great impression, creates feelings, emotions, tension and Hoffnunsglosigkeit and hope with a presence that has become more difficult and dangerous rare in today's film music, is all the more surprising that, of the approximately 43 minutes of music, which are located on the CD only about 10 or 15 minutes were actually used in the film.
