This. This was the guy. There are many film composers I love who have scored several times as many soundtracks I love as Kamen had. Yet, he remains my absolute favorite. James Newton Howard is second only to this man in my heart. Time and time again throughout my life I have found myself right back to a few Kamen scores of my young childhood like this one here. It resets me, it revives me, it rejuvenates me. Whenever I stray too far and lose myself amidst life's rough and harsh seas, I come back to this music and I remember. Like nothing else I've known, when the magic is experienced again and comes with me back out into the world......without any words at all, I undestand what I'm about and who I intend to be. Always bow to love.

Kamen was a bonafide musical genius. His scores are always wonderfully effective. The "Robin Hood" movie is so-and-so, but the soundtrack makes you think it's better than it is. Kamen died FAR too young at the age of 55; we were robbed of decades of great compositions.

What makes this so compelling and why it is such a great masterpiece is just simply listening to Michael Kamen. His own emotional self expression is displayed so genuinely hence this is when the greatest of work & pieces are brought forth. I saw the movie at the theaters when I was 10 back in 1991 w/ my Uncle & brother. This musical piece still stands the test of time along w/ many other pieces from this movie. Great Composer, but an even greater Human Being.

pop culture like bryan adams destroys the very essence of music, the essence that brings the emotion and brings tears, no words are necessary when you composed a beautiful melody, an orchestra of over 100 musicians playing a theme composed by a genius is perfection along with the film images, there is no pop culture than this feeling. kamen with his music will be here forever

It is, by far, one of my favorite movie scores. It's so moving and emotional. One of the reasons why I love this movie so much (cuz it's not because Kevin does a great job acting! LOL)

I dont think we need to argue who wrote what, its well known that Kamen was a hugely talented composer and Bryan Adams is a talented songwriter. Thing is that writing for orchestra is different and thats I'm sure where Kamen's talent came into play, whether he wrote the original notes or not.

It's funny, his way of figuring out where the "beats" go for the music is different than the way John Williams does it. John has a big white blurry line that sweeps across the screen and when it his the right side, that's where the beat is. I think if I was doing it, I'd rather have that than the time at the bottom.
