Too early. I suspect this movie will have a somewhat lukewarm reaction.

Divisive i think but is only an opinion

[ThomasNicole]

I think it will be BW reception at worse, which is fine.

 

Foreign reactions is early but when fans are very divided, it shows early.

I think it is showing in the Korea scores.

The egg isn't bad. Also a funny dynamic with this one where usually fans skew day 1 score high, but possible that the fanboys will be more divided than GA so curious to see how scores trend d2.

But it's just one so far, and not even bad, just ok. 

 

Shang Chi have similar reception there and was very well received overall. 

 

I would wait more reactions similar to Korea before think is a pattern.

Composers re-use pieces of their own stuff all the time, but the connective tissue here and re-using the score from...that debacle...is notable for a call-out!  😅

He used it in Hulk (2003) first. It’s from the main theme.

That's why I didn't say bad but lukewarm. Agree on second point.

If it turns out to be divisive among audience then due to the enormous opening weekend.

 

Civil War Legs - Finally..... A worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary..!!

I’m liking this for the Kung fu panda reference.

So I saw it a few hours ago. It feels like a movie by someone who hasn't paid attention to the MCU but is now having to wrestle with its inherent restraints while trying to tell a story about the horror of people in power fighting for a nostalgic fantasy that destroys lives. Raimi mostly succeeds albeit with many caveats, but thematically it's a bigger success than any recent Marvel movie in a while.

 

One of my favorites in the MCU, not one of my favorite Raimis.

[fabiopazzo2]

saw it.

To me it's really very different from a lot of Marvel movies. it's scary and very violent in some scenes. Will it divide the audience? perhaps!
There are some scenes or plot choices that I didn't like.
The direction of Sam Raimi is there and it shows and the musical choices are fantastic.
I don't know how to rate it yet. I'll probably give it with a second viewing or as the hours go by

So would people who have seen it say its definitely not the same ol same ol cookie cutter MCU for the better?

Composers do this all the time with their own songs, what a pointless tweet

Composer steal from themselves all the time. the ones in demand n particular. If you have only a limited time to score a film before moving on to the next one you have to do, you cut corners.

Aside from the fact you generally only have limited time to score a film in general; it one of the last steps in making a movie.

 

Movies are like sausage to use an old expression; as much as you like them you probably don't want to know the details of how they are made. It's usually pretty messy.

That's not an excuse, in my opinion it's like a screenwriter reusing a joke from one of his previous movies (which ironically was also done to Justice League by Joss Whedon)

Hans Zimmer reuse one of his Black Rain tracks in Batman Begins, one of Thin Red Line tracks in Inception 

 

John Williams reuse one of his tracks for Attack Of The Clones in The Chamber Of Secrets 

 

James Horner reuse one of his tracks for Jumanji in Titanic 

 

The examples are countless, but these are 3 of the most respected composers of all time reusing themes for some of the most iconic soundtracks of all time. 

 

So yeah, it's not an excuse because there's nothing to excuse here, use collages or similar notes to do different tracks are a normal and pivotal part of composing. And that's have nothing to do with Joss Whedon making sexist jokes more than Once.

From what I have read Feige allowed Raimi to throw away the cookie cutter for most of the film.

It goes back to the Golden age. of Hollywood. Composer like Max Steiner, Alfred Newman, Erich Korngold , Miklos Rozsa reused material constanly. They had to. They were scoring one film after another and had to cut corners to save time constantly.

Some people have a very idealistic...and unrealistic...idea of how movies are made.

And, btw, writers also borrow from themselves all the time. Do do directors. So does almost everybody who works in the film business.  It's a necessity given the time and money pressures in  making a movie.

For instance, directors, use the same shot in film after film. And that includes the great directors.

7.9/10 on Imdb. It's still early, of course, but i trust imdb ratings to reflect the general audience

lol I think they are a good indicator of how a movie's quality is perceived, especially for the blockbusters
