I don't love it. There are a handful of tracks that I really enjoyed, but in my opinion HGW is capable of so much better, so I have to say I'm disappointed overall.

Since reading elsewhere that the main theme is a direct lift from John Powell's PAYCHECK score, I cannot unhear that now, which is mighty distracting when listening to it.

It seems I'm in the minority in really liking this one...and I'm usually a harsh critic of this particular composer. Sorry.

I think it’s funny that for all of Disney’s attempts to make the production of the movie as inclusive as possible, they still gave the score to HGW of all people. I know he had worked with the director before so I can understand why from that perspective. Oh, Remote Control Productions, we can’t escape your grip can we...

Listening to the first track and enjoying it. Hoping to hear Jerry references later in the score. Didn't notice any myself.

If isn't one of the best by HGW, quite a solid effort for his recent years. Before someone said something, enjoyed The Martian, Zookeeper's Wife and The Meg, all entertaning and fun scores, but Mulan is much better effort. Okay, also, isn't as terrific as Goldsmith's score, but his use of ethnic instruments (clever use), action writing and the dramatic moments (the beginning of Mulan Rides into Battle or Mulan Leaves Home, are standouts), gave a reason for why Harry Gregson-Williams needs to make more scores like this, because, i don't think we can get something like Sinbad or Kingdom of Heaven.

I consider THE MARTIAN one of HGW's best scores of his entire career, and easily in my top 10 that year. MULAN is not even in the same ballpark. If you compare The Martian with something like Kingdom of Heaven or even Narnia, isn't something as good like those scores, even Mulan. Don't get me wrong, is good score, i played a lot time to time, but there are muuch better HGW's works.

I agree. The Martian has so much more personality than Mulan. The Martian is a good score is in own right, but when HGW writes themes and thematic material, isn't comparable. Mulan has thematic material much recognizable than The Martian, even this one his better than things like Deja Vu or Phone Booth.
