Our Score: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Danny Elfman is one of my favorite composers of all-time. He has such a unique sound and when you hear his scores you know right away it is his work. It is only right that Danny Elfman composed the score for this film, especially since he scored the two previous “Men In Black” movies. In his third time around it this franchise, he is still able to deliver an entertaining score and even packs a bit of heart.
One of my favorites tracks on the album has to be the relaxing yet comforting “Under the Bridge”. Believe it or not I was not a fan of “Men in Black 3 – Main Titles”. I love the theme to “Men in Black” but the added electric guitars on these main titles did not sit right with me and left me wanting to skip to the next track. I feel that Danny Elfman has really matured though over on this score and after two films he really understands what to deliver for “Men in Black”.
Like in most of Eflman’s work he continues to blend orchestral and electronic sounds. The album is itself runs just shy of 60 minutes and really sums up the whole film from the moment it starts. If you are a fan of the “Men in Black” series and Elfman’s past scores you will not be disappointed with this release. Also if you haven’t seen this film it really kicks you in the mood to watch it for sure.
