NL197 368 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 3 hours ago, Richard said: It's hard to find, and it's very "80s", but it has some good character moments, and a standout performance from Louise Fletcher, as well as some nice sideswipes at big business. My friend's R1 DVD moved from 1.85:1, to 2:65:1, (like the film), so it looked odd. If you can live with that... The SFX speak for themselves. The score is magnificent. I hope you enjoy it, and as Chris Walken says: "Nobody locks me out!". The film itself is visually interesting with the acting no better than out of an 80s Pepto Bismol commercial. Bland. As for before, that whole misunderstanding about your remarks, to me it looked like you were directing them at me and not the link. Reading it as part of the flow of conversation that's what it looked like to me, that you were calling me a 'cunt'. 1 minute ago, Stefancos said: The opinion of the voting majority is all that counts! Sure, if you actually cared much for what people have to say on a heavily biased John Williams board where I hear they delight in trashing people left right and center on the accompanying Discord server, where these very people really let their opinions be known.

I think it's great, nothing here will change that. I guess you needed your opinion validated or something. The objective was to figure out if the JWFan community considers it a great score, and I chose a binary question form to stress that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,466 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I guess the conclusion is that it's a divisive score -- almost down to the middle -- in terms of labelling it 'great' or not. That's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,030 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 By democratic vote, and a clear majority, it has been settled that Avatar is not a great score. That, however, does not rule out that it can be a good score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a 5 star score no matter what some tarded poll says. Mr. Who 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I prefer John Barry's Dances with Wolves. And I prefer all the earlier scores that Horner plundered for the Avatar. But it's cute that so many other people like it so much. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
