While I did not particularly like the battle pieces, I do believe that if I was able to watch the scene with the music, I would have enjoyed it much more and it would have made a whole lot more sense. As I mentioned before, the composer did a great job building tension, and yet, there was no climax to the pieces. They were all extremely repetitive and each piece sounded very similar. I think the composer could have done a lot more to make each have its own distinct characteristics while retaining the overall feel he was out to achieve.
While some of the rhythms were interesting and catchy, he overdid them to the point that something that was once fun to listen to became something just annoying. He really needed to incorporate more aspects into the battle pieces. Differing rhythms, key changes, and varying instruments would have been good ways to keep the tension of the piece while at the same time keeping the attention and interest of the listener.
