terribly sappy loud score

Rating: Null/10 (28 December 2001)

I don't really care one way or another about the contents of the movie - it's a passable historical epic set mostly in the west, and it has moments which are evocative of the age. But the score is terrible. I'm sure that those who like manipulative music can tolerate or even enjoy the music in Legends of the Fall, but even passing that hurdle, they will likely be frustrated by the fact that at times the music is played so loudly that you can't even hear the dialog properly.
