#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 These people are just sensitive towards how their artist is perceived by others I guess. Perhaps deep down they know that Zimmer and Gia have severe limitations? I must they must know right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,136 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I have no problem with some people not liking Giacchino's music. However, I do have a problem with some people spending their time making sure everyone knows they don't like it, and constantly interrupting discussions about him to do so.

Jay 37,364 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Of course, but there is a difference between listening to a score and then stating your opinion about it, vs popping into the thread of every score by a composer you don't like just to state you don't like his work and that it never does anything for you, etc. leeallen01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,136 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Let's end this bickering though. It's pointless. I am more than willing to hear constructive criticism and funny criticism about any composers work, but not pointless attacks against them and the fans of their work for liking it. But as a caveat; anyone that criticises my sacred god James Newton Howard will feel my wrath in the form of piercing looks and a general distaste for their very being.

Max 141 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Slashfilm gave the film (and Giacchino's score) a very positive review! Source: 'War for the Planet of the Apes' Review: One of the Most Significant Blockbusters of the Decade Quote Another stellar piece of the film is the score composed by Michael Giacchino. War for the Planet of the Apes has the kind of unique sounds that will make fans wish notes like this could be utilized for their favorite superhero blockbusters. There are distinct themes here that not only accompany the action well, but also inspire a swell of emotion during the more gripping and poignant scenes in the movie, of which there are many.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 The same website (but admittedly not the same writer) that said this about the Batman v Superman score: Quote One of the things I loved in Batman v Superman is the score by Junkie XL and Hans Zimmer. The music gets you pumped up in all the right moments, and unlike Marvel’s Avengers, gives all the heroes their own unique themes. At some points the score is rocking, while at other times it’s operatic, or big and loud and base-y. Sometimes it’s more sci-fi sounding, reminiscent of Bear McCreary‘s Battlestar Galactica score. I particularly love Wonder Woman’s theme. "base-y" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I generally grade scores on a scale of bad to big. Anyway, here's another positive review (from EW) that singles out Giacchino's score. Now with actual musical terms! Quote The credit for that largely goes to composer Michael Giacchino’s better-than-it-needs-to-be score—a freaky symphony of staccato woodwinds, plucky strings, and ominous thumping kettle drums—and Andy Serkis, who brings Caesar to life once again. http://ew.com/movies/2017/06/26/war-for-the-planet-of-the-apes-ew-review/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max 141 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 All I meant was that since multiple reviews are mentioning the score, it sounds like the score must stand out (in a good way) in this one--which excites me, because Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is among my most favorite Giacchino scores. From IGN, who gave the film a 9.5/10: Quote Meanwhile, Reeves fills his widescreen with some remarkable imagery, reaching for an epic feel whether it’s the peaceful sight of apes on horseback riding along a beach or huge scenes of carnage as man battles ape. Michael Giacchino’s score is also memorable, supporting the scope of Reeves’ vision while also imparting on War a slightly off-kilter feel that calls back to the original 1968 film – and supports the notion that the world has turned upside down in these movies.

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 More blurbs for Gia. The Playlist: Quote The breathlessly paced montage of flying bullets and angry monkeys raining down on terrified men, aided by Michael Giacchino’s vibrant score, is a strong indicator of the next-level craftsmanship that distinguishes these movies from so many cacophonous Hollywood spectacles The Hollywood Reporter: Quote Shot on spectacular locations, mostly in Alberta and British Columbia, despite the California settings, the film is further enhanced by a notably imaginative, out-of-the-ordinary score by Michael Giacchino. The Wrap: Quote The action proceeds at a thrilling clip, aided immensely by the great Michael Giacchino score. The composer never settles into a groove, with instrumentations varying from simple percussion (the 20th Century Fox fanfare sounds like it was performed from the middle of a rain forest) to full orchestra, and with themes that never feel like mere repetitions of what has come before. It’s a stirring soundtrack that accentuates, but never overwhelms, what we’re seeing. I'm excited! Max and Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodBoal 7,538 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I think I'll like the score, but I can never get excited by random movie reviews praising a score.

Max 141 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 From Collider: Quote Reeves brings it all together in a haunting, vivid portrait that skillfully blends the demands of blockbuster spectacle together with a deeply emotional undercurrent. Michael Giacchino’s score skillfully moves between melancholy tones and frenetic melodies that would have been right at home alongside the original Planet of the Apes.

I don't trust modern film critics on scores at all. The majority of these people thrashed Williams in their reviews for War Horse. It was over-scored I agree but still a great score. Also film reviews praised Gia to the high heavens for Doctor Strange in the film reviews and I thought it was a decent score but nothing special. So yeah, taking these reviews with a grain of salt.
