How would you rate "The Adventures of Han"?

[Josh500 1,615]

John Williams' piece... 

 

How do you like it? What's the best part of this piece? 

 

 

[Holko 9,516]

It's energetic and adventorous, good for the movie if not for the Han we knew for 40 years. 4 stars.

Powell's score is a 5er, no brainer.

The movie's meh as hell, I voted half - 2.5

Is Powell's score really that good? 

 

I should listen to it. 😂

The Adventures of Han has really grown on me recently. For a while it was the odd new kid on the block, but now it's well and truly in the Star Wars family.

You mean just JW's piece, or the entire score?

[Disco Stu 15,495]

3.5 stars for the theme

 

4 stars for the score

 

2 stars for the film

Just Williams' piece. Not that I dislike Powell's score, I like it, I just listen to Williams' theme far more often.

[Obi 404]

5 stars for the John Williams Track.

Very good and energic. You hear it once and it stays in your head, like the Rey's Theme.

 

4 stars for the John Powell score.

Action pieces are powerful, Marauders theme is great, the love theme superb... but it's not really sound like Star Wars sometimes.

 

3 stars for the film

The less good Star Wars movie. Fun, a lot of good scenes but I take it like an episode of Rebels or a comics, it's not in the saga for me.

You're doing a poll asking people to rate Powell's score and you haven't listened to it.....

 

Brilliant.

You don't listen it ???  So... you don't see the movie too ?

I haven't. That's why I'm asking.

 

Is that too hard to understand for you? 😂

No, I haven't. Yet.

 

I just bought the OST album, and I have only listened to JW's piece so far.

Hmmm, this theme is great, but surely Rey's Theme is quite a bit more powerful and effective and memorable, and ultimately better.

 

IMO, of course.

I agree with Disco Stu.

[Kasey Kockroach 2,344]

A waste of disc space. 

[SteveMc 2,674]

Score is the best I have heard all year.

Theme is pretty good.

 

[The Illustrious Jerry 3,356]

Score of the year so far. 5.

Deserves an FYC for sure.

 

Adventures of Han really allows it to soar. Powell's work is really good, but Williams themes are essential. 5.

 

I liked the film because it was very lax and fun. Nothing too special. 3.

[Kasey Kockroach 2,344]

It sure was awfully kind of Powell to let Williams do his own version of his theme! 

[Smaug The Iron 512]

The Adventures of Han 4,5

Score 4,5

Movie 3,5

 

It is the best score from this year so far. 

[John 2,032]

The Adventures of Han: 4 out of 5. A fun, energetic little piece that is very re-listenable, despite being somewhat generic by Williams' standards.

Powell's score: 4.5 out of 5. Seamlessly blends the old with the new. One of the best scores of the year.

The movie: 3 out of 5. A competent but bland and rather unmemorable movie, elevated by fine performances.

Pretty much exactly my verdict too.

 

I gave the movie half a star extra though, because I appreciate finally seeing a bit more of Chewbacca's and Han's friendship.

[gkgyver 1,645]

The best part of it was the anticipation, before reality kicked in.

[publicist 4,643]

Score and thee are solid 3.5's, not seen the movie.

The reality is that Williams' heart just isn't in it anymore.

Yes, Rey's Theme is better.

[Loert 2,511]

Adventures of Han is really good, one of the best "concert" pieces he's written this decade.

 

Powell's score is outstanding as always of course!

 

I haven't seen the movie, but based on what I've heard and the snippets I've seen I doubt I'll be watching it anytime soon.

[Score 770]

Theme: 3.5 stars. It's quite ok, but not JW at his best. Or maybe I am just not too interested anymore in that particular style of writing.

Score: 4 stars. Powell gave a very convincing performance on one of the most intimidating tasks for any film composer. The movie did not deserve this score.

Movie: 1 star, because there is no "0" option. I could even stand the prequels to some extent, but not this one. Some of the characters made me miss Jar Jar. It's a pity, because I think some of the actors did very well.

We're very close on this one.  I was a bit kinder to the film because I enjoyed the score and thought it was attractive visually.  The story and characters were stinky poo poo.

Yeah, I didn't even like it visually, except for the Kessel run, which I admit was very well done. It's the only part of the movie that I would save. On the other hand, I've read people criticizing Ehrenreich by saying that he is not convincing as Han Solo, but I disagree. I think he did a very good job, given the script he had to work with... of course he cannot "look" exactly like Harrison Ford, but who cares.  

[artguy360 1,843]

I like the theme quite a bit as a minor JW SW theme. It has an air of adventure and naivety and a lot of the bells and whistles of modern JW writing but it is a little jumbled and lacking the clarity of something like Rey's Theme. It has some rhythmic and stylistic similarities to some music from TLJ. I will say that I have a SW playlist where The Adventures of Han is followed by Leia's Theme and the two work quite well in this order.

Dude, sweet avatar, I miss that show so much

[JoeinAR 1,949]

Not one of John's memorable  efforts. Actually its quite forgettable.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

I agree.
