Haha a couple of weeks ago Movie Bob put out a trailer for a "BvS Sucks" project he was working on and the first half came out yesterday and it's an hour and a half long. So comparatively we all like that movie very much.

Wait, that was just part one  Even by the bloated standards of Chipman's "Really That" series that's nutsy.

I thought it was going to be a long rant of quibbles, but I like that he separates both quibbles and things he personally doesn't like from the actual flaws in the film. A lot of people think "I didn't like it, therefore it was bad." Halloween Jack posted:I love that no one puts this much energy into explaining why the latest beige cube from Marvel is the best ever. Most marvel films hit the very low bar of "Worth watching" so nobody has to do an hour long dissertation on why someone else should see them. The films that rise above "good enough" like Winter Soldier do actually have a bunch of in-depth reviews explaining why they're so good. Sorry the DCEU is 1 for 4. Justice League looks like it might be good.

In other news, I don't think this has been posted, Danny Elfman has confirmed he is going to use his Batman score for Batman's scenes in Justice League. And the John Williams Score for Superman will also be used. So that's at least two* confirmed good scores that will be in this film. https://www.flickeringmyth.com/2017/11/danny-elfman-confirms-that-he-will-bring-back-his-classic-batman-theme-for-justice-league/ * = Hot take, I think it will be there since I really like the Wonder Woman score.

Al Borland Corp. posted:Controversial opinion: Zimmer's Superman score is better than Williams I agree with this. Williams Superman theme just doesn't hold up all that well imo. Works in the Donner films sure, but keep it there.

Reeves and Cavill's Supermen are also completely different characters, as are Keaton and Affleck's Batmen. Using the theme for these characters you might as well be using the Superman theme for Iron Man or the Batman them for Green Lantern. It just doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, they shouldn't need to bank on nostalgia for this one. I bet Elfman had the idea of bringing the old themes in and thought he was the most amazing genius ever.

It's an easily hummable track, and a lot of people I know who aren't super into comic book movies are very much able to quickly identify this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43ojmJjbOgE as Superman's theme song. Most of them have never seen the Donner films though. [edit] Out of context, to me Zimmer's theme conveys inspiration, strength and determination, boldness and courage, warmth and kindness while Williams' Superman theme, also out of context, just comes off kitschy/cheesy/dated in comparison. Still heroic sure, but it doesn't match the DCEU Superman. teagone fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Nov 2, 2017 |

Wonder Woman and her theme/the no man's land scene are going to be, sure, and maybe other things will too eventually, but you don't get to be iconic after two movies which could be described as "okay" if you were feeling generous Not saying the music is bad, I'm a fan of Zimmer and overall the soundtrack of BvS is pretty good, but it's not close to "iconic"

I was more so using it in context of the DCEU, not in general or transcending the genre or whatever. Zimmer's Superman theme is one of the best things to come out of the DCEU (imo), which makes it one of its more memorable components of the franchise, much like Wonder Woman's theme. That's what I meant, so I guess replace iconic with memorable if my use of iconic is bothersome.

E: Plus I don't want to get burned out on superhero movies so I only see Marvel studios ones except for anything with Deadpool in it since that is what got me into Marvel comics. If I want to see an interesting movie I'll go watch something like John Wick 2 or Baby Driver or Logan Lucky or Bladerunner 2049... man this might be the year I've gone to the movies the most. achillesforever6 fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Nov 2, 2017 |

I think I've only been to the cinema once this year. I saw Spider-Man in the summer. Normally, I only go twice at most and I'm definitely going to see Star Wars, so that'll probably be it for me. (I went to the theatre an unusually high number of times last year (three).) However, I've watched loads and loads of movies this year on dvd. Probably more than in each of the last three or four years.

Zimmer's Superman theme is loving fantastic. The real letdown in the DCEU's music is that Batman's got nothing worth talking about.Wheat Loaf posted:It was quite distracting when I realised that Hedwig's theme is essentially a rearrangement of the Force theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAA9Llwx-rU Not to mention how much Williams borrows from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, Dvorak's New World Symphony and Holst's The Planets. And liberally from himself (like reworking stuff from Hook for Attack of the Clones, or Superman / Star Wars). To be clear this is all fine and normal, and composers have been doing this kind of thing for centuries. X-O posted:Some of you should actually read what Elfman said about his use of Superman's theme before you bitch about it. Because he said it's for a small moment and it's not used at all how you're thinking. Tyler and Elfman's Age of Ultron score (which I've come around to) is one of the only times in the MCU that they've brought together themes from other movies well, like having a little bit from Iron Man Three during the Hulkbuster scene.
