What Is The Last Film You Watched? (Older Films)
Romão replied to Mr. Breathmask's topic in General Discussion
Well, the best moment in a movie might define its celing, but still, its weakest moments can really bring the whole thing down. Spielberg did quite well with most of the Kensington scenes in Hook. But those are not enough to compensate for some of the really awful scenes in Neverland. -

I greatly enjoy some parts of it. I cringe with others. I like the movie. I don't love it, I don't loathe it. it's a bit like the score. Parts of it are sublime. Others I really don't appreciate. But I think those sections have more to do with Cameron's questionable musical sensabilities and taste, and less to Horner's talents. The real achievement is how Horner was able to write what he did within the constraints of Cameron's quesitonable demands -

I still think Titanic is not as good as some of its fans make it out to be, but neither it is as bad as some naysayers claim. It's absolutely riveting once the ship hits the iceberg. If there's one thing Cameron is absolute master of, is pacing. And that's apparent even in his movies I don't really enjoy, like Avatar -
I love all the Barry songs, except Man With the Golden Gun and All Time High. I also love You Know My Name. The last 4 songs, though, are all amongst my least favorite Bond songs

Visually it looks fantastic, but there is some really corny dialogue in there. Hopefully, the trailer editing made it sound worse than it will in context

We really need more Goldenthal expansions. I would absolutely love to see expanded releases for Interview with the Vampire, Sphere, Final Fantasy. And the planned OST for Batman & Robin is such a great assembly and distillation of the score, I'd be more than satisfied if that is all they released from that score -
I still haven't heard this score, but this remains one of my favorite musical depictions of the man:

And the score is also pretty good. -
Ditto. And I never watched an Harry Potter movie not scored by JW. And he such an amazing voice. I wonder if he ever narrated any audiobooks

I adore the Original Trilogy, I kinda have a soft spot for prequels, despite their ineptitude. I enjoyed TFA up until Han Solo shows up (the movie takes an absolute nose dive at that point), I like most of TLJ quite a bit. And that's it. Everything else I either dislike or totally ignore But it's always been mostly about JW's music and the movies were simply the backdrop that justified its existence. There's no point to any of it without JW's involvement.

I deeply regret not getting that while it was still available. That and Thimbleweed Park, that although not written by the LucasArts trinity, had great music a particularly good album presentation -

What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)
Romão replied to Ollie's topic in General Discussion
I adore this score, but the OST does a score a great disservice. I know your stance on expanded scores, but the expanded edition, albeit the omission of Eno's Propechy Theme, is absolutely the one to listen to. Just compare this version of the Main Title on the OST: With the one in expanded edition: I hope an expansion is coming soon, with all the music and remastered sound. -
Batman Forever might no be the quintessential Batman score, due to the nature of the movie it was written for, but I still find it to be the best music ever written for Batman

This is the piece you're referring to, and it is indeed by Greenwood: Great score. Incredible film. probably my favorite PTA after There Will Be Blood -
Elliot Goldenthal would have been my dream choice for this project
