It was a great item for me, since I am the biggest fan of POTC Music. Hans Zimmer did a great job. I already own the first three tracks, but this price ( 30 bucks ) compared to the other prices on other sites ( 7O BUCKS! ) was too hard to resist. FIRST THREE SOUNDTRACKS : These are the soundtracks for the first three movies on POTC. I didn't really care much for them, since I already own them, but I will revivew them anyway. One : The first soundtrack is not as good as the others, but it has some good tracks. It features 15 tracks and in my opinion they were mostly all good. Two: This is like my favorite soundtrack of all time. The first track is Jack Sparrows suite, which I find the most awesome track on the disc. It starts out with a slow theme, and then bursts into a great fast violin cue and that plays for most of the song. Then, my favorite part : The violins go crazy and go up and UP and UP! Then, the "DUH DUH DUN!!" Kicks in. I'm like "YEAH!!!!". This is the best theme of any Potc music. The rest of the tracks are good, especially 9 and 2. Three : A pretty good track, not as good as the second, but good. Now, I think this is worth 30 dolars because of the bonus track. It features Becketts theme, which was all over the movie, but wasn't even in the soundtrack. I think they could not get away with not putting it in here. Also, some other good unreleased music. The Piano Demo is worth $10:00 alone. It's Jacks Theme on piano by Hans Zimmer himself. Also, the At Worlds End credits even made it to this bonus disc! The dvd was ok, it was fun to watch as I sat there and ate a Hardeys Burger and fries. I think that, and the Bonus disc, are worth the price alone. If you don't have any POTC Tracks and you like POTC Music... Then buy this asap! If your a true fan, you can not go on with your day untill you buy this! It's a must-have for anyone who likes POTC Music. I could do without the remixes, but hey, the rest is good! I mean you get 4 sountracks and a dvd for 30 bucks! YEAH! I would recommend this to any fan. If you already own the first three dics : Then ONLY buy it if you get a deal like this. 30 bucks is a great price. The bonus disc and dvd are worth this price alone, and since you have had the soundtracks, you get whats worth the price! And guess what? My old soundtracks are starting to break, which means... I can replace them! So, even if you own the first three, these will be replacements! I reccomend this 100% for any price under $100 for anyone without the dics. I recommend this for people with the first three 100% IF they get a good deal. I hope this was helpful.Read full review
This is a must have for all soundtrack/score fans. The bonus CD contains the original demo from Zimmer that started it all. Not to mention the other demos. The DVD is a wonderful look behind the scenes for the scoring process. The 3 soundtracks are identical to the ones you can purchase individually, but the bonus disks are a treasure to the serious fan. I could do without the techno remixes, but those aside this is a great box set to add to your collection.
This was one of the best purchases I have made on ebay. This boxed set is great, as I am a big Pirates fan. Having all three movies soundtracks and an additional cd with remixes and dvd to boot, all I can say is it is great. Hans Zimmer comes through again with fantastic music.
OUTSTANDING! A COLLECTION WORTH HAVING INDEED! THE DVD INTERVIEWS WITH COMPOSERS DIRECTORS PRODUCERS AND MUSICIANS IS WORTH THE PRICE ALONE NOT TO MENTION THE LIVE PERFORMANCE AT THE PREMIERE! HANZ ZIMMER IS A GENIUS! THE MUSIC IS MOVING AND I WILL TREASURE THIS COLLECTION!
The movie soundtracks are great, but the really gem in this collection is the bonus CD. I work out to several of the remixes, and my workouts fly by!
