I can't believe...

"the negative reviews for this score. It's one of the best I've ever heard, and the main theme sends chills up and down my spine. Many people must agree or else ESPN wouldn't repeatedly use the song for dramatic effect. Maybe the songs are "derivative" but I really don't care, it's great music to my ears and to the ears of many others."
Perfect medieval mood music

"I have used my tape of the soundtrack until I wore it out! It is perfect background music to help establish a "medieval" world for a writer. Additionally, "Everything I do, I do for you" is a hauntingly beautiful love song. If you write historicals, especially medieval England or anytime in Scottish Highlands you NEED this CD."
Very emotional music

"When this movie came out, I was blown away by the soundtrack. I absolutely loved the emotion that poured through Michael Kamen's work. I bought the soundtrack and haven't been disappointed since. Each piece has a decidedly Rennaisance feel to it, from the rescue during the Crusades to the horse-chase between Robin Hood and the Sheriff's cousin.Even Bryan Adams' "Everything I Do (I do it for you)" has a catchy sound. It's nice to know that some music producers will leave the long version of the song intact on the soundtrack instead of cutting it. And, to my surprise, I was intrigued by "Wild Times," the last song on the CD. It has a lilting, haunting sound, and easily fits in with the rest of the music.The music in this CD is catchy and creates an atmosphere akin to Robin Hood's day. If you close your eyes, you might just imagine yourself right there."
Intriguing

"I love the movie which might have an effect on my love for the soundtrack. Track 1 is by far my favorite. It whips the listener away to another time and place. It charges confidence as well. I listen to it before giving speeches and always feel stronger. It's amazing what this cd can do besides please the ears."
Overall Good Soundtrack

"I believe this to be be one of Michael Kamen's better scores. It has a few faults, but overall is a very good score. I believe the best song to be Track 6."
