My favorite soundtracks of this year so far :

The Mummy 3 (Randy Edelman) : underestimated rousing score. Randy Edelman has made it with his own voice and different from the 2 previous ones. The chinese theme is absolutely breathtaking, the love theme (reprised in a jazzy song at the end of the album) convokes some gorgeous harmonies and the main theme is a rousing and very catchy typical Edelman tune.

Rambo (Brian Tyler) : Brian Tyler has reprised and expanded one of the greatest Jery Goldsmith work, in a perfect blend of hommage and innovation.

The Chronicles of Narnia 2 (Harry Gregson Williams)
Speed Racer (Michael Giacchino)
Indiana Jones 4 (John Williams)
Wall-E (Thomas Newman)
Journey to the Center of the Earth (Andrew Lockington) : for the reasons I already explained in another topic

This is not golden age, but really great music anyway !

And as you go back to the 40's and 30's the scores become even more classical which I think is where our taste in music can differ.
