It certainly has a lot of dull parts, no question.

But you can assemble an 80 minute OST as good as any of JW's best scores. He just chose a lot of boring cues for the OST and left out a ton of highlights.

It doesn't hold a candle to his last great blockbuster score, Philosophers Stone

I don't know, there's quite a lot of self-plagiarism going on in that one.

I mean, the main theme is nice. But the entire score? It's solid.

Frankly, I'm mostly anxious for Williams' Star Wars music... anything else is just icing at this point. I hope the score gets more publicity when they start recording this summer.

Agreed. Nothing else this year even comes close to Star Wars (film and score) for me.

Me three

IF Williams retires afterwards it may be the very last time we await a new Williams blockbuster score

Star Wars and Star Wars. I don't really care about anything else. I kinda want to see Tomorrowland, but then I remember that I mostly remember a bunch of CGI shit from the trailer. Sure, the foreign trailer had "it's a small world" and I remember being in Disneyland when they filmed it, but the trailer made it look like yet another disposable summer blockbuster type. Jurassic World looks like pure shit. Everything else...hmm, let me guess, a bunch of Marvel Comic movies? Pass.

I'll see the other movies anyways but it's not the same as really looking foreward to something.

Last time was the 3 first HP films and Indy 4

After SW I guess it's Hunger Games

After hearing all of the rotten news about The Avengers 2 (the film) and Jurassic World (the score), I've been forced the change my summer votes. For score I'm choosing Inside Out because Pixar brings the best out of Giacchino. For the film, I'm choosing Mission Impossible, because that last one was good I guess.

I was hyped for Jurassic World but that has died down significantly within these last few months. I'll still see it and I am still interested in hearing Gia's score, but I have low expectations for the film at this point.

I have very poor memory for movies that don't grab my attention. I can barely remember the plot a week afterwards ( Jupiter Ascending is already a vague memory). I think this will be the case with Avengers 2

This is what I remember from Avengers 1:

Has something to do with Loki and his staff

At some point there's a fight between Thor and Iron Man\

There's a big citywide CGI battle with aliens that's similiar to Transformers 3

That's it

Both Avengers films have simple plots. The attractions lie mostly in character interactions and small moments, not big picture.

SInce I couldn't find a specific post in relation to box office summer this year I will post it here.

Furious 7 earned $1,352,724,000 so far? That's the fourth biggest film of all time. What the,,,?

How?

Paul Walkers deaths insured that this would be a big hit. The Heath Ledger effect

Yeah, I know that. But those figures are insane. And Batman is a bigger property.

And, besides, I didn't realise Paul Walker was that beloved. I mean, Heath Ledger was a talented and critically acclaimed actor.

But Paul Walker?

Me neither.

Oh wait, I watched about half an hour of Fast Five. It's was bad sort of entertaining, So ridiculous that you almost cannot switch it off.
