I loved the Social Network score a lot, and then actively hated the Dragon Tattoo score. I mean, I hated a lot about that movie, but the score was where I had high hopes, and it was utterly disappointing and boring.

teagone posted:James Newton Howard's Hunger Games soundtrack goes unappreciated I think. Catching Fire made me realize there's some good stuff going on with the score. I had to go back and listen to Horn of Plenty because drat that track owns. The bit for Rue's Death is so good. I love how it sort of became the theme for the rebellion

James Newton's Howard is probably my favorite of the big composers working. His scores for the Hunger Games movies are wonderful, especially the Rue theme that then became the theme of the start of revolution in the second film. In the new film, his slow working of a choir and strings behind Jennifer Lawrence's vocals in The Hanging Tree is astoundingly good and makes that sequence in the film breathtaking. He also has the ability to write amazing scores for mediocre-to-terrible movies. The Last Airbender has wonderful music for all of it's downright shittiness.

Pirate Jet posted:Man, that movie is having some problems, huh? Well, the composer change is because of the "problems", not a new one. They did the reshoots, which pushed back the editing timeframe, and thus the scoring timeframe. Desplat already had something else lined up after, and now it would effect that project.

He does that a lot too. I remember when he had Up, Star Trek, and Land of the Lost all within like a month of each other. (Land of the Lost even features a nod to the Up score in perhaps it's funniest gag)

Stare-Out posted:I was reminded that this is so awesome. What happened to Goldenthal? I haven't seen him score anything particularly notable in recent times. Goldenthal's score to Batman Forever is one of my favorite comic book movie scores. He claimed he was aiming to make it sound like the kind of theme that a kid might hum to themselves if they were playing Batman in the back yard, and drat he nailed it.

the score for Doctor Strange was the first one I legit walked out of the theater humming, because it's used frequently and is dope as gently caress. Harpsicord, gently caress yeah. Black Panther is also a loving great score. I love the "king" theme that appears in the ancestral plane, and whenever the Dora Milaje do something badass, their chanting motif is just through the roof cool.

The Solo score feels really old fashioned, I like that John Powell mostly does his own thing, but with the new theme Williams gave him and the few little sprinkling of other music he works in. The love theme between Qi'ra and Han sounds like something from the 70s and I love it.
