Ollie 1,059 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Yes there are but I’ve tried over the past several years to be more polite when it comes to criticizing composers. Koray Savas and Jay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 For me hate is too strong of a word. Dislike is more accurate. There are A LOT of scores I do dislike and simply can NOT get into them IE: Man Of Steel the Noland/Zimmer Batman scores, etc..

A24 4,333 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I'm indifferent to most scores, but I remember that I really disliked the score of Gladiator when I first saw the movie. It added nothing to what we already knew from the images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,504 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Not a lot, hate is such a strong word. But many of Giacchino, and a great deal of Desplat trigger that kind of emotion in me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,075 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Agreed. Those composers are among the most overrated A-list Hollywood composers. I guess their greatest strength is that they're reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,504 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Ludvig Göransson is the new "kid on the block" in terms of massively overrated Hollywood composers, but he hasn't reached the kind of vile feelings I have for Giacchino yet. Desplat at least has a handful of wonderful scores (GIRL IN THE PEARL EARRING, THE PAINTED VEIL, L'ENNEMI INTIME etc.), so I only hate him 'moderately' compared to MG. I'll never forget the moment I was introduced to MG's sister at the Krakow film music festival a few years ago, not knowing who it was. My heart jumped as I -- for one second -- thought maybe she had read some of my disparaging remarks about her brother's work online. Fortunately and expectedly, she had no clue who I was. Phew!

His language has a certain richness to it that I'm really curious to hear develop as his career develops...I wonder if I would've said the same things about Williams in his early years (a lot of whose music at the time still had a certain stiffness to it, in my ears).

Thor 7,504 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Well, I haven't shut the doors on Göransson just yet. But the likes of the CREED movies or BLACK PANTHER do absolutely nothing to me. Fabulin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamsStarShip2282 308 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I always thought Heartbeeps was such a funny score, and so kind of out of nowhere for so many reasons. I don't think it's bad..... just kind of weird. One piece that I deplore though is "America the dream goes on". I absolutely hate that piece, it's so artificial and tacky to me. The Long Goodbye was always kind of had a weird melody to me, maybe because it sounds uncharacteristic of Williams. I also loath the score for Jurassic World. It's just..... bad on every level.

I can get away from it. I hate overpraise though. It jumps at me when I do not expect it. And it tends to do so repeatedly. 1. HTTYDs' blunt and artificial scores, while roughly serviceable in the films themselves, were expected by me to go completely unnoticed by the very experienced ears at JWFan. Instead people go bananas en masse. Have they all run out of things to listen to? I cannot imagine the point at which I would be bored enough to listen to this... SOLO is a slightly different story: I consider it decent, if rowing in place because melodically it cannot get any traction other than with randomly placed copied Williams moments as crutches. The poll with everyone apparently having bought it on the other hand... 2. Desplat is fine and prolific, but leaves me cold. Not a problem unless he gets worshipped like a genius. And they love Michael Giacchino here too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
