This score seems to be a mix between "Angels and Demons"(Choir style), "King Arthur" (Heavy orchestra with dark percussions) but it lacks GOOD themes. We can feel "Tudors" music style in a few tracks.
I think it's a functionnal score which takes its sense only in the movie.

Excellently put.
I want to remark that it all comes together rather nicely for immortals, the whole being more than the sum of its parts.
For example I feel the ending sky fight and subsequent staff credits is one of the most memorably powerful moments I've experienced in the theater.
Man, this is a really weak score. I thought Trevor Morris would do better on his first solo assignment but he disappointed me. The reason? TEMP TRACKS!
"Hyperion's Siren" = Inception brass chords
Second half of "To Mt. Olympus" = "The Might of Rome" from Gladiator
"Fight So Your Name Survives" = the Holstesque action rhythms from Gladiator
"Do Not Forsake Mankind" = "Journey to the Line" from The Thin Red Line
But worst of all is "Immortal Combat" and "Sky Fight/End Credits", which sound EXACTLY like "160 BPM" from Angels and Demons! What the hell? Why no creativity?
Rest of the score is dull, uninteresting along the lines of the new Conan score. What a flop.

It's hardly a flop, it's killing at the box office. And it's not his first solo assignment.

The score is a flop, not the movie. And I meant first solo blockbuster assignment.

Nah, I'm enjoying it. And it worked VERY well in the film itself.

You know what? "Immortal Combat" is 160 beats per minute! Exactly the same as "160 BPM" from Angels & Demons.

2'20''in"Fight So Your Name Survives", the drum beats are the same in "Kraken"from POC2... but the whole score works well in the movie,really
Every time I come to the site and see that interview with the film's director on the main page - Tarsem Singh, I keep thinking it's Muammar Gaddafi lol

Actually, there's a small score excerpt on the official site, and it definitely sounds more "Hans Zimmer" than "Tyler Bates."

Do you hear the music complete ? Do you M.D. in Music ?

Do you M.D. in being a jerk? Mmmmm....hmmmmm, yes. Yes, you do.

No sarcasm intended but I didn't know the term M.D. can be used for anything other than medicine. Can it?

I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'm pretty sure you're right, Blu.
This NoName guy thinks he's a know-it-all and thinks this music sounds like Tyler Bates, possibly because Tyler Bates did the music for 300 and because this movie appears to be similar to 300. It is not clear whether he has actually heard the music.
All composers have a unique style and if you've listened to the composers involved in this conversation, you could provide a statement like Miles did. NoName appears to have not a wide range of musical tastes....
*Waits for response from NoName*

Ah, I overcame my laziness and looked it up. M.D. does indeed stand for Doctor of Medicine which makes absolutely no sense in the context that NoName used it in. Perhaps a better choice would have been "do you major in music?" to which the response could have been, "you don't have to be a music major to state when one composer's work sounds like another's."

Actually, if it sounds anything like 300, it really sounds like Elliot Gildenthal's score to Titus. Bates copied much of the themes from it and there was even a lawsuit. Now on the back of the latest Blu-ray (the digibook), there is an asterisk next to Bates' name. At the bottom it says *based on preexisting compositions not authored by Tyler Bates.

NoName, keep throwing your job title around, honestly no one cares. You can make yourself feel big by saying that meaningless garbage if you like however :) Just know that no one here actually cares. At all.
