Tom 4,651 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I see discussions concerning Tintin have returned to other threads, so let's go one step further. Which score do you prefer between it and TFA? I find them quite similar in structure and organization. For instance, the heroic Tintin theme to Rey's theme, the unicorn theme to Jedi steps, the dueling music to the March (maybe pushing it there). All in all, I prefer Tintin by a narrow margin. I think Rey's theme is the best of all the themes (though a full heroic concert piece of Tintin's theme could have tipped even that preference), but overall Tintin is infectious, fun, adventurous. It lacks the heavier villain stuff TFA has, but every track is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demondm810 399 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I voted for TFA. But by a very narrow margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably give the edge to Tintin as whole, because I think it is probably better structured, more enjoyable from start to finish, has better action writing (The Pursuit Of The Falcon!) and more diverse material. TFA maybe has stronger themes and stronger highlights, though. This. Though I find TFA to have a little bit more variation, Tintin is more similar throughout the score. Which can be seen as both a good and a bad thing I guess. TFA has a larger emotional spectrum imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,346 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hmmm, hard to say which is "better", since each sets out to do radically different things (I don't really find these scores similar at all, frankly). I will say that for certain, I've definitely listened to Tintin far far more times than I've listened to TFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Both fine scores, but TFA is better. Perhaps not so much because of the underscore, but for the themes and set pieces/concert tracks Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously saying you've listened to a roughly six year old score more times than one that's not even two yet? This is astounding!

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I may have listened to Tintin once, I'm not sure. TFA OST, lots of times. Expanded, never. Rogue One, never. Rogue Nation, never. Rogue cut, never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loert 2,511 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I prefer Tintin. I find it more musically interesting than TFA on the whole. However, 'The Jedi Steps and Finale' is the best track out of both scores. Cerebral Cortex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 'The Jedi Steps and Finale' is probably my favorite Williams track of the last 15 years. Definitely TFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Tintin might have more cohesive and complex action music but I prefer TFA. It's much more of an "emotional journey" and features one of the best Williams themes this millennium (and perhaps ever).

Is he even working on it at all? I'm fine with him taking the time he needs. But not with him skipping it altogether! Plus, if he does it soon enough, John Williams can write the score.
