    Is this really the new generation of actors to influence a future generation? A bunch of narcissistic assholes? 
     
    I totally expect dumbshits on the pedestrian side of the internet to behave like this, but a fully grown dude and actor going on a rampage about "trolls"? Good god man, have some class.

    What's giving me the creeps is that most SW fans seem to think RO's score is some kind of masterpiece. We're doomed!

    If by Giacchino-isms, you mean repetitive loops, lego block music, mostly bland themes, and reductive adapting of Williams' music because of lack of finesse, then yes, that is the man's voice.

    I can't enjoy films with terrible scores. 
    The book is masterful. 
    The film feels like an obligatory entry to bridge 4 and 6.

    You REALLY think Casino Royale 1967 is higher ranked than Raiders Of The Lost Ark? 
    What's Casino Royale doing there at all?

    Desolation of Smaug is probably my favorite because it's very similar to Two Towers, in that it doesn't have a beginning or end, but can therefore explore and indulge in unique settings and directions. Because it's free of the obligations to write a beginning or and end.

    What's the pride in doing your own stunts? You're basically showing that you're dumb enough to hurt yourself for real, for scenes that everyone knows are fake.

    Adapting a 70,000 word novel into a 160 minute movie with a light plot? Dear god somebody get me this writing gig.
     
    I have written screenplays recreationally and some that I hope will be produced some day and they are rather tricky and difficult to write. But by far, BY FAR, the biggest challenge is keeping the page count down and cutting and cutting and cutting.
     
    160 mins for such a short novel is an outrageous luxury and honest to god almost anyone could do it.
     
    HP1 coasts by purely on the strength of its world building and elaborate production (and score). The screenplay is not something that stands out.

    Out of pure boredom I'm watching the HP1 bonus features. Steve Kloves claims adapting the book was the most challenging thing he's ever done. Why would he say that? HP1 seems like a story anyone could adapt. Not to discredit him, but it's all really straightforward.

    When Zack Snyder says that this is his original vision, I call him a liar on that.
     
    He has 20/20 hindsight on what people complained about the released cut. Of course he’s going to change as much of that as possible - be it his “original” vision or not.
     
    Business-wise it makes sense, but his original vision it is not.

    I love the book as well, but the movie is pretty bad. It plays like a low budget made-for-TV film.

    My favorite book, but as a movie, there's nothing resembling a real plot until an hour into the film. Total fluff.

    The first Transformers score is excellent. Movie is great fun too, when the people stop talking and the action takes over.

    Well....youre full of lt, as far as, bashing Zimmer.😠
    But, the first TRANSFORMERS is very popular and deservedly so.
    Good themes and well crafted overall.
    I have the score only CD which was hard to find.

    You're lucky then, because Horner never let a good idea go to waste in just two or three scores: he rode it hard as long as he could.
