JOHN POWELL DRAGON BATTLE MOVIE

“ Third Date” is quite a long and carefully paced track with a joyful pattern representing the white female dragon. “Toothless / Smitten” is the first track that introduces the most gorgeous music I have heard in the last couple of years, and it can be heard in full glory in “Furies in Love”: a beautiful waltz with gorgeous melodies by the strings together with the choir and short staccato patterns by the brass. The new theme for the hidden world can be heard again in “Legend Has It / Cliffside Playtime.” The last part is, as the name says, a darker theme for the villain of this story.

This movie is no exception, and you can hear the new themes right away in “Dinner Talk / Grimmel’s Introduction“ where the track begins with a lovely melody, which represents the hidden world. This score has it as well, but it starts later in the first track “Raiders Return to Busy, Busy Berk.“ Each soundtrack also introduces new themes, which are always astonishing pieces of music. The two previous scores have a wondrous introduction with a version of the Berk theme in the first track of the album, which is established as the main theme of the series.

The movie deserves a score to help create a satisfying end to a marvelous tale.

With How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, the story of Hiccup and Toothless will conclude and I had great hopes that an amazing score would live up to the quality of the prequels.

Both of them are just magnificent and should at least be listened to once as an example of how film music can be used to perfectly support all kinds of emotions and action sequences, while still being a joy to listen to outside of the movie. The scores of the first two movies are near the top of my favorite scores list. For the last couple of years, there hasn’t been a soundtrack I was waiting for more than the one from the last movie in the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, written by John Powell.
