    Director Gareth Edwards (Monsters) tapped award-winning French film composer Alexandre Desplat (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Philomena, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) to provide the score for his 2014 reboot of Godzilla, the world's most famous Kaiju, and Desplat delivers with an efficient, melodic, and undeniably bombastic brass- and percussion-heavy blast of summer blockbuster-appropriate clamor that capably juggles both emotion and destruction, while managing to hold its own against the big lizard's iconic, air-raid siren of a roar.

    James Christopher Monger, Allmusic.com

    Alexandre Desplat is not a name commonly associated with major blockbuster action movies. The closest he came was in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows duology, where he managed, despite disregarding pretty much the entire musical legacy, to infuse grand films with intelligent and thoughtful music. Desplat is a very versatile composer, up until now not known to just write his usual shtick and be done with it (my thoughts are wandering to Santa Monica here), which is most likely one of the things that drew director Edwards in his direction.

    Since the movie is, thankfully, a good stretch away from the Emmerich disaster, and moved more into the direction of the 90s Toho movies and Millennium series, the music is also far removed from David Arnold's effort. Gone are the oversaturated, melodramatic tones of Hollywood schmalz, and were replaced by Desplat in favour of a brutal, relentlessly harsh powerhouse of a score. What is absolutely stunning about this music is the brass. Desplat is known for, well, not exactly having a weak spot for big brass moments, but boy does the let it rip here! He amassed a good dozen french horns, around 6-8 trombones and the same number of trumpets, and has them rip, trill, flutter, stab and god knows what. Tracks like "Golden Gate Chaos", "Muto Hatch" and "Two Against One" are adrenaline pulsing.

    Also fantastic is the combination of modern synthesizer sounds with the force of a 150 piece orchestra and chorus, the stylistic combination of modern writing, up to date synth sounds, and old-fashioned monster music. And all of this with a good dose of ethnic flair.

    Make no mistake about it, though, this is not a score that is chock full of obvious motifs and themes. The signature of Akira Ifukube's Godzilla scores was always the bold, direct, poignant themes. People who are used to that, or expect it, will most likely not find enough to sink their teeth into in this score.
    However, that does not mean the score doesn't have themes. It does, it just handles them more intelligently than usual for this kind of music.

    The first track features the score's most prominent theme(s), and functions as kind of a suite for Godzillla's, and his enemy's, themes. Most appealing for me is a treacherous, mysterious, almost devilish theme for low woodwinds and celli that is heard in the beginning of "The Power Plant", "Golden Gate Chaos" and "The Wave". A true monster motif, and is somewhat reminiscent of Michiru Oshima's Godzilla theme from "Godzilla Vs. Megaguirus" in tone.
    After a couple of listens, motifs will surface, and you will fully appreciate Desplat's ideas.

    "Two Against One" and "Last Shot" make for an absolutely rousing finish, especially with shades of, yes, Ifukube's March compressed into a kick-ass ostinato. Finally, the score gracefully floats away in the final two tracks, showcasing more of Desplat's somber and elegant abilities.

    If you want to find any fault with the score, then you could point to the lack of a proper theme arrangement in the vein of Ifukube's Godzilla march, and the lack of a military march, as it was present in every Godzilla score, even Arnold's (even though he didn't have a proper theme for Godzilla, so that kind of balances it out).

    But all told, these quibbles are not worth subtracting a star from the rating. Probably the, literally, biggest surprise of this summer.
