Robertron Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Based on the trailer alone, TDKR seems like it'll have a pretty impressive score.Being the end and all, it better be damn impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMovieman Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 IIRC, isn't Hans Zimmer going at it alone? BB and TDK he collaborated with James Newton Howard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Battleship's score is abysmal and obnoxious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I think Zimmer finishing the series on his own was a good choice. I'm hoping for a brilliant score a la inception. I'm also looking forward to JNH's SWATH score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Someone wanna explain which parts of BB and TDK JNH did? Because it sounds like all HZ to me. Just saying that losing JNH for TDKR is nowhere near of a change as losing HZ would be. I think their styles would clash anyway. While I love his work, JNH has always seemed like more of a Jerry Goldsmith clone to me(Especially Waterworld and The Fugitive). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Battleship's score is abysmal and obnoxious.And you would expect anything else from Hans Zimmer wannabe Jablonsky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 James Horner.Interesting...He used to be my favorite composer there for awhile. Some of my favorite scores are by him. If he just didn't steal from himself so much. Not sure he can top Elfman for a SH film score though. That guy was made to do them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Avengers is pretty good. JC is still a cut above the rest so far.Probably should have just quoted these all into one post, But, oh well...Yeah, I was a bit worried about Silvestri being able to pull off an original score, especially after GI Joe and Cap(Great score, but I hate the main theme), but TA was pretty good. Some cues seem ripped from other films though. Especially Subjugation, the beginning of which is a total rip from somewhere, but I just can't place where.

The training music, all the piano stuff etc while Zimmer and friends did the action. In TDK JNH only did the Harvey/Two-Face material.

That guy was made to do them.I'm quite looking forward to his score actually, it's a nice change of pace. I don't think anything will top the responsibility theme as defining Spider-Man for me but I think Horner can do a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a really basic progression that's been used thousands of times before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a really basic progression that's been used thousands of times before. That's probably it. I've listened to too many scores over and over. Regardless, I still like that part and it fits Loki to a tee. I'm a huge Silvestri fan going back to his reworking of the CHiPs theme way back when I was a wee tyke. Yes, I used to watch that show religiously when I was a kid, and yes, I even noticed the theme change(mostly from reruns, I'm sure). The original: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtDlu-JQ-1k The more famous Silvestri "Disco'd" up version: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu4ZOAVidW8 I like where Parker was headed with the original theme but it just didn't match up. Silvestri's had so much more "pop". But, of course my favorite films he composed are BTTF, Predator, The Abyss and some lesser known films like Ricochet and Shattered.

It's a really basic progression that's been used thousands of times before.Actually, I remember where I've heard that bit from now. LOTR.I remember reading an interview with Horner once about his start with Roger Corman films. How directors would use scores from other films to set up scenes then expect him to essentially duplicate that cue since they couldn't see the scene without it. He said that is why some of Battle Beyond the Stars sounds like Star Trek: The Motion Picture and why some of Humanoids from the Deep sounds like Jaws. He says this sort of thing still occurs to this day and he's found ways to adapt(This may explain why he "borrows" from his own work a lot). I wonder if Whedon used that as a substitute when he was setting up the beginning of the Subjugation scene then just couldn't hear anything else. Then he implored Silvestri to use a similar cue. Purely speculation on my part, and like you said, could just be a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Maybe I don't have as much appreciation for scores but can't really link themes at all. I know Harry Potter's of course, being a Potter fan and hearing the familiar cue upon the title.The only film I can currently think of where I wanted to go download the score was How to Train Your Dragon. I love that. Most films I don't even remember the score. Like the Avengers or John Carter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 People generally assume if you don't remember a score that it's bad. If you don't take notice of a score that's probably a good thing, they're meant to enhance not distract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people's idea of "best" are the ones they immediately want to go out and buy after seeing the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
