The score was indeed boring as hell.

 

I'm not usually one to reminisce about the golden days of yesteryear, but in this case, I found myself constantly thinking of the brilliant 90s/early 2000s scores by Goldsmith and Silvestri for the two (wonderful) MUMMY films by Sommers. I was hoping Tyler would at least rise up to the occasion in a few moments, but he didn't. Anonymous, boring wallpaper.

 

I've been listening to both Goldsmith's and Silvestri's Mummy scores non stop over the past few days. Wow, they are so good! So much character and enthusiasm.

 

I listened to Tyler's score today and it is so boring in comparison. To be fair, it has that big orchestra and choir sound and it is bombastic but pretty simplistic and anonymous. It might grow on me, but I'd rather just listen to Goldsmith and Silvestri again because I know I can't go wrong. I was expecting TMNT with an Egyptian flair. Sadly I'm disappointed.

 

And Wonder Woman's WW1's setting had a great opportunity for a old fashioned orchestral adventure score but we unfortunately got a score that was even more boring and was a complete non-entity within the film except for that now famous electric cello inserted at a few key moments. Such a disappointment from the summer so far. I hope Giachinno, Desplat and Zimmer will rescue it later.

Film and score both go to Dunkirk. That film certainly has interested me out of the films this summer, and I'm almost equally interested in Zimmer score as well. I do appreciate that the film is less then 2 hours though, much as I am fan of Nolan's previous films, this one doesn't sound like it'll be so "excessive". Should be good, hopefully.
