Fargo 297 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Late to the party, but here's fargo's. only based on what I've seen/heard BEST SCORES OF 2017: 1. Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Williams) 2. War for the Planet of the Apes (Giacchino) 3. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (Desplat) 4. The LEGO Batman Movie (Balfe) 5. The Mummy (Tyler) Murder on the Orient Express (Doyle) TOP 10 BEST TRACKS OF 2017: 1. 'Boulanbator Combat' from Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (Desplat) 2. 'The Rebellion Is Reborn' 'The Battle of Crait' 'The Fathiers' from Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Williams) 3. 'Battle Royale' from The LEGO Batman Movie (Balfe) 4. 'Planet of the Escapes' 'Paradise Found' from War for the Planet of the Apes (Giacchino) 5. 'A Hero Is Born' 'Saving the Day' from Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (Shapiro) 6. 'What Heroes Do' from Thor: Ragnorak (Mothersbaugh) 7. 'Monumental Meltdown' from Spider-Man: Homecoming (Giacchino) 8. 'A Sense of Adventure' from The Mummy (Tyler) 9. 'Orient Express Suite' from Murder on the Orient Express (Doyle) 10. 'Amazons of Themyscira' from Wonder Woman (Gregson-Williams) BEST FILMS OF 2017 1. War for the Planet of the Apes 2. Baby Driver 3. Get Out 4. John Wick: Chapter 2 5. Dunkirk SPECIFIC HIGHLIGHTS OF 2017: The action motif/theme from Valerian is great, it's getting a lot of replays for me. Haven't seen the film yet so not 100% sure what the theme is for. Usually not a fan of Desplat. I was not too excited to see the 3rd Apes movie (didn't like the 2nd one too much), but it was so much better than I expected, with Western/Great Escape resemblances in it. Just fantastic. SPECIFIC DISAPPOINTMENTS OF 2017: Obvious: Justice League (just the score, I was not disappointment in the movie because I knew it would be garbage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've now seen it. There was a lot of great stuff here, but the predictable "sports movie"/underdog final act left somewhat of a bitter taste in my mouth. But up untill then -- very good movie.
