Fancyarcher Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 So far this year I've listened to, The Wolverine - Not that bad, an actually improvement over Beltrami's previous The Wolverine score. Power Rangers - It's a Zimmer clone / Tron Legacy mashup, but it's a fun listen. Kong: Skull Island - I like some of the guitar cues, but the rest of it is typical generic noisy Jackman. Easily the weakest of the Kong scores, and that includes King Kong Lives, which has an amazing score. The Great Wall - It's Raimin Djawadi, but it's actually not that bad. It's much more conventionally orchestrated, and there's some decent choral writing. Life - Even for a space horror score, boy is this bland & lifeless. Looking forward to The Last Jedi, Dunkirk, Valerian, Spider-Man: Homecoming, The Shape of Water, most of all this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 The Ghost in the Shell score was actually pretty impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard it yet, or even seen the film, but it's Mansell, so I'm expecting something atmospheric & impressive sounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I've bought: Fifty Shades Darker - Elfman Logan - Beltrami Tulip Fever - Elfman A United Kingdom - Doyle I only bought Logan because it was signed. I've not felt compelled to by any other scores from the movies I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting it to pick up, but like last year the first few months are a bit rough in terms of actual good scores to listen to. I still need give the A United Kingdom a listen. I liked the film, and as heard in the movie it sounded very lush and romantic, and it's Doyle, so it's gotta be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Just listened to The Mummy by Tyler. Some good adventure music, but boy does he need to learn how to calm things down. I swear he sometimes thinks he's composing for a huge opera or something. Edited June 10, 2017 by Fancyarcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent use of the orchestra too. Edited August 2, 2017 by Fancyarcher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brainbug Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 War for the Planet of the Apes and IT had phenomenal soundtracks. Thor: Ragnarok's was also very good and the first MCU soundtrack for me that i found memorable. Dunkirks soundtrack only works in the film itself imo and Get Out had some really good tracks as well.

Thor: Ragnarok was cool, and I liked Get Out's score. Another score this year that I really liked was Battle of The Sexes, which had a great 1970's retro feel to it.

lilmac Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Would be surprised if JW gets a nod for TLJ although I can see the Academy giving him a nomination because he's JW. His Post score was understated but good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
