leeallen01 2,136 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'm not going to see the film regardless of whether it's great. Not bothered enough to spend the money. The score of course is reason for excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrayodiBA 517 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I just love the headline: Watch Han & Lando Gamble for the Falcon and Hear John Powell’s Score in New ‘Solo’ Clips This is an official, even higher quality clip btw Finally, a recognition he is long due.

Come one, do we have to bleach your hair first in order for you to not get stiff and bland, Emilia Clarke? I mean come on, looks how she act when Chewie takes over. I know, this's hardly oscar material ( excapet for Powell's 2nd Nomination thats for sure), but come on! As far as bland acting goes, you look worse than twilight era-Stewart What's with the trend of Disney hiring posh, naturalistic yet somewhat wooden British actresses (Ridley, Jones, Clarke)? Is it just cheap foreign labour? Ironic how Daisy Ridley, the one with the least experience under her belt is the most convincing of the three. That's one of the consequences of the demise of regional repertory theatre. All young actors have now are drama school, a few stage roles (if you're lucky), and maybe a stint on a soap or a big-screen TV production like GOT. None of that is a real substitute for the ordeal by fire and water that was weekly rep. Next thing happens, they're cast in a billion-dollar franchise by virtue of their accent alone, and their lack of experience sticks out like a sore thumb.

PrayodiBA 517 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 ^^ I think that's why they select this clip. The clip, which is not only showcasing the Falcon in action, but also, accidently jampacked with the most nostalgia-inducing music materials they can ever find, and there you have it, fanboys cheering and screaming!

PrayodiBA 517 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 is it possible that John Williams wrote a cue called "Han Solo Theme", but in fact, is a compilation of all of the new themes this movie requires, including Chewie's and Lando's? wkwk that would be an easy job on Powell's behalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrayodiBA 517 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 But honestly, aside from the score, the effects and Bradford young's cinematography ( i just love the shot of Chewie fixing things up FROM OUTSIDE the cockpit), ..... there is something really wrong with the direction, and this is not Howard's fault, or indirectly at least, as if he was on the rush ( yeah you bet) The Illustrious Jerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igger6 894 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I get the charge of overcrowding that's being leveled here. We've got what should be two major fist-pump moments of theme recognition within about fifteen seconds of one another. That said, it's hard to judge this scene's placement in the movie. It might be a major moment worthy of those consecutive hurrahs. Chewie's theme sounds incredibly melodic, but it's beaten into submission by the mix, the sound quality, and my lousy speakers so much that it sounds like it's being played on kazoo. I see nothing worrisome here, but I'm a little sorry I watched it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
