     For the third X-Men film, John Powell picked up where John Ottman left off (who had continued on from Michael Kamen's score for the first installment).  Powell created new themes but somewhat retained some of the rhythmic ideas featured in the previous film scores, most notably in the X-Men "march" rhythm and a development of the "love" theme for Jean (represented by the superb Phoenix theme).  Parts of the Jean/Phoenix theme are used in several variations to represent the beauty and destructive power of the Dark Phoenix, Jean's uncontrollable, near-omnipotent alter-ego.  The Jean/Phoenix theme is presented in a uniquely-glorious version as she kills Xavier and also when she fights Logan at the ending climax.  These pieces are rightfully heralded as some of Powell's best film cues ever.


     Some of the intertwining themes in the score include the following:
  • X-Men theme: Zig-zagging upwards in 4 phrases (3rd phrase somewhat quotes a previous X-Men theme motif), then a syncopated rising-falling B theme and ending fanfare.
  • Phoenix theme: Sweeping and romantic theme, fateful and epic.
  • Phoenix "flange" motif: a somewhat droney, flanging wind texture, representing the dangerous dark power of the Phoenix.
  • Alcatraz motif: short, fateful rhythmic motif, often paired with the Phoenix theme.
  • Golden Gate Bridge fanfare: soaring brass fanfare.

The Bourne Identity/The Bourne Supremacy (Powell, 2002/2004)

The Bourne Identity
     John Powell was asked to score 2002's "The Bourne Identity" on very short notice and with a very small budget, and thus created a very lean, electronica-based soundtrack.  Later in production, some additional funds were found for live strings, and this would ultimately produce the signature "Bourne" sound.


     The plot of the "The Bourne Identity" revolves around Jason Bourne's search for his identity after being found at sea as an amnesiac.  He finds he has "secret agent skills" and with the help of the friendly Marie, is able to find out who he was.  The middle part of the film finds Bourne pitted against various assassins who have been assigned to eliminate him.  Eventually he faces his original commander and manages to extricate himself from the life of a trained killer.


     Theme-wise, the Bourne films depend on only a few major melodic ideas, but skillfully develop them on various electronic and instrumental textures.
  • Bourne theme: winding theme opening with a falling figure.
  • Bourne ostinato: 8-accent (sometimes 6), double-stroked staccato theme, often developed with a leisurely bass line similar to Treadstone figure.
  • Treadstone theme: guitar-driven, somewhat "rock" theme.

The Bourne Supremacy
     John Powell also scored 2004's sequel, "The Bourne Supremacy", and basically developed elements from the first film, adding some new electronic and string textures.  Perhaps most importantly however (at least for fans of the first film), the sequel soundtrack included the end title theme song from the first film, Moby's "Extreme Ways".  Plot-wise, Bourne is framed for a murder in order to cover up an internal CIA issue, but is eventually exonerated.  The assassin Kirill kills Bourne's girlfriend (Marie from the previous film), but Bourne eventually dispatches him at the end of an involved tunnel car chase.
