Un-Noticeably Absent

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2005)

I just saw the film last night and thought it was great. I loved the Burton version and didn't think this one could blow that one out of the water but it did.
What I didn't notice while watching the film but realized afterward is that there is no Musical Theme to the film. Sure it has a great score, but it emphasizes the mood, the action. There was no sweeping John Williams/Danny Elfman score that all.
To me this is one of the smartest decisions they made because not once while watching this did I feel like I was watching a comic book being brought to life. Instead I was engaged in the drama/action/mystery of it all.
