Original soundtrack to Mark Steven Johnson action movie with Nicolas Cage, drawn from Marvel Comic character. Christopher Young melds electronic array with full orchestra, chorus, gets dynamic work with spotlight on action. Large themes take back seat to exciting rhythms, vivid ensemble colors - until striking finish where composer finally lets driving melody take command. Powerful! Colorful stills enhance package. No orchestrator, conductor credited.
