Matt C 454 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I like parts of it, especially the Bane material. But as a whole, it just doesn't do it for me.It's the reused material from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight that bugs me. It's like 50% of the underscore that doesn't underscore the new characters' scenes -- when the new thematic material kicks in, coupled with the driving rhythms, it's enjoyable. But they're just tracked in the film, and Zimmer doesn't bother to rearrange them or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Zimmer mostly does adaptations of them so they fit the new scene, but he doesnt really take the material in any new direction.Though the icey rendition of his Batman notes to company a Bruce wayne who's essentially retired in the first part of TDKR is a very interesting idea.

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Yes, though as usual with Zimmer it's a timbral rather than motivic variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Well what can I say other than that it was worth the 20 year wait.And that it's a 24 carat gold entry in the career of Silvestri.And that I have yet to order, but couldn't wait to listen anyway. And that I'm now twice the age that I was when I saw the film and liked it (and still do).And that it makes me yearn for the time when blockbusters had great music.And that Stallone is still kicking ass in action films.And that Diane Lane was quite the hottie back then ! OK, time to shut up. New Order Montage is on now. YOWZA !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, planetariums have composers-in-residence? Gotta get in on that.... Wow. That's beautiful. You've got to admire Danna's versatility.Aside from The Nativity Story, what other Mychael Danna scores do you guys recommend?If you're a fan of The Nativity Story, check out his brother, Jeff Danna's Gospel of John, which I personally prefer over Debney's Passion of the Christ. Camelot, by both Dannas, has some nice choral writing as well, though the score can alienate some in parts. This song is lovely: If you like his ethnic writing, check out some of smaller scale scores like Ararat or Water (which is how I first discovered him). On top of which the aforementioned Life of Pi comes with a hearty recommendation. Hlao-roo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Michael Giacchino - TomorrowlandLoving it more with every listen. So many catchy themes and ostinatos!Michael Giacchino - Star Trek (Complete)If there's anything this score lacks, its that its basically an action score. Not a lot of music highlighting exploration and awe and wonder, of course because the film doesn't have time for any of that. So damn many class cues, though!Michael Giacchino - Star Trek Into Darkness (Complete)Such a great score, a masterful blending of so many cool different elements. Does everything a sequel score should do. Here's hoping he completes the trilogy.Chad Seiter - Star Trek: The GameOne of the best action scores of the 2010s! So many great explorations and expansions of Giacchino's themes. We got two completely different sequel scores to his original in the same year. So interesting to hear both takes.
