Yes it does. It's a misleading sentence. A better expression is "The Godfather is not as good as The Godfather Part II". Again, unless you think The Godfather Part II is a bad movie, and The Godfather is worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 JP is certainly a better movie, that's pretty much a no-contest decision right there. JP isn't a terrific movie either, but it will never be accused of being unentertaining.. Lost World is an absurdity and an even worse adaptation of a decent novel. JP is what got me into Williams. The score is one of his many masterpieces. I enjoy Lost World for what it is, and it's certainly an effective and beautiful score, but I cannot give it my vote. JP is just too magnificent.

The back story is good, but what makes THE GODFATHER PART II better than the original, is that, while the first film chronicles Michael's ascent, the sequel charts his decline and fall. It lets us see how he becomes corrupted by power, and how he uses (or misuses) this power. Add to this, the Fredo thread, and you've got one heck of a juicy, and tragic story. The one thing that all three films are about, is family, and how one can be torn apart by conflicts within families. Also...Gordon Willis. The thing looks f***ing gorgeous!

Ollie 1,059 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 The Lost World score, especially after getting the complete release, is a much better score than JP. That’s not saying JP is a bad score. The action cues and percussion are relentless but the music as a whole has a nice balance to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think it's one of his most deliciously dark scores. Grand, percussive textures that riff on Stravinsky without being pastiche.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Hornist is right. Film music wasn't all that good in the 1990s. Too many melodies, too much rich orchestration, and too many notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so you are the biggest joke in history of the mankind. Hey, hey....easy now. No need to get dirty. I've never said there haven't been anything good by Williams in the last 12 years. Only that most of the scores (except WAR HORSE) have been underwhelming compared to his usual standard. Many of them are still reasonably good, because Williams' bar is really high. I understand your love of melodies and such, but I'm thankful that Williams has more layers to his music. I'm glad that for every STAR WARS, you also have an IMAGES. Or THE LOST WORLD. Dismissing that score as "mediocre jungle music" seems bizarre to me, to say the least. But hey -- to each their own and all that.
