You probably can't, though you'll be sure they'll try to include them in every film possible, if they can, and if they aren't, you'll see characters screaming "where's the beasts?"- 3,311 replies

Yep (probably should have worded that a bit better, I meant interview, ha). -

True, but he did have an story / interview explanation for explaining the changes as well. -

In BB it's still a pretty gritty looking city though with positive "prospers" / having more of a future look to it. Te difference is, is that in the TDK it looks a lot more "bleak", I guess you could say, which was done deliberately in order to reflect the continue downward collapse of the city's structure, rules, & people. -

Begins may seem formulaic (though that's a complaint that barely makes much sense to me honestly), but at the time it was seen as being really fresh, and was praised for its serious tone. Great film BTW, even saw it in the cinemas. A History of Violence - 9 / 10 -
Oh, personally I think both movies are great, and that's all that matters.

Er, Aliens is just about as well-regarded as Alien. People are often split on which is better.

Good early Zimmer music. You can hear the origin of his Batman theme in it, among other scores. I also love the Rico / villain theme. As Silvestri himself put it in the liner notes, it's very "epic" in nature. -
The rejected bits / throwout bits of the score have nice parts, but I'll admit there are no tracks in it that I really want to listen to again and again. Good music though.

Personally I just prefer scores with "themes" so to say, as do most people in general I'd wager. That being said I don't mind atmosphere, I'm not a fan of composer mistake or forced to atmosphere like its "sound design" or something though. I prefer my atmosphere to be striking or maybe sound "otherworldly" at least. The Alien film scores (at least the first three anyway), succeed in that regard.
-
Alien film and Aliens score, but neither score gets a lot of listens from me. The series' music has never been about striking melodies as much as it has been about atmosphere, and it works well in that regard, but it doesn't make for a great listening experience either.

I didn't super-care for the music (it was fine, which given JW's age is great), but the BFG is pretty coherent to listen to, score and film IMO. -

Their Finest - 7.5 / 10 -
True, but a lot of the CGI in TPM & AOTC holds up very poorly regardless. He should have mixed it in with more practicals, as opposed to trying to push the medium to its limits at the time. Plus if Lucas hadn't started his obsession with CGI, we may have not had some of the absolutely more bad CGI in KOTCS (gopher & monkeys for example), and hate on that film all you want, but it would have been less distracting for me, since I actually think that film is alright otherwise, hot take, lol.
