Title 1: Genial; The rest rather mediocre

I do not know of only two film music by Basil Poledouris: Conan the Barbarian and The Hunt for Red October. Both soundtracks have two things in common:
1. They make it clear that Poledouris has a great talent for spectacular, bombastic compositions with choir.
2. Both soundtracks have a brilliant title, and the rest is mediocre.

The main theme (Hymn To Red October) is a fantastic, perfectly composed, Soviet choir, to which probably also the real government of the USSR would have pleased.

Unfortunately, in my opinion the rest is not unusual and does not film music that you absolutely need.

So there is me 5 stars for the Title 1 and 3 stars for the rest of the score. That makes so together. 4
