Quantum Of Solace. The movie may be no one's favourite, but the score really works like gangbusters. Love the gutteral, snarly brass on this. And the music associated with Quantum manages to be both Barry-and-Arnoldesque.
Possibly Arnold's best Bond score. Definitely his most "redefined" anyway. The "Night at the Opera" cue is aces.

Didn't Williams write Empire Strikes Back in 4-6 weeks?
Giacchino is not as good or as experienced as Williams is.

I like Rogue One but it's hardly as good TFA.

King Kong by James Newton Howard

Tragic, but not surprised. Heroin is awful. RIP Ms. Fisher!

I decided to make an example of what Marvel could be musically if they had any continuity in their scores.
There's some quick examples in this, and some full examples of how great it could have been.
I used Captain America: Civil War clips, and replaced Jackman's awful and forgettable score with Silvestri's Captain America, Giacchino's Spider-Man, Beck's Ant-man, and Tyler's Iron Man.

Link's not working. Is this not finished?

I've always preferred Donald Duck to bland...bland Mickey!
You're not exactly alone. Donald Duck was always more popular back in the day because of his "hot-tempered personality".

I like Rogue One, but boy can it be "overpowering" at times.

Jules & Jim - 8.5 / 10

Those who saw it have loved it. The production of it is amazing apparently. I'm willing to take the word of people who've seen it over those who haven't.
Yeah I heard the actual production was great, the actual story sounded like bad fanfiction though.
-
Never saw the play but based off what I read of it, it didn't exactly sound "great".
-
Hmm that wasn't so bad, just kinda there, the average Spider-Man score I guess. Reminds me of Tyler at points, like Marvel asked Giacchino to do the RC sound or something, at least he's trying something a little different I guess, but eh.
I liked the middle "dramatic" part at least.

For me, "Desplat" actually writes interesting scores a-lot of the time. Unlike Giacchino he doesn't rely largely on blockbusters, and is actually very versatile too.

"Inchon" by Jerry Goldsmith
It is like a mixture of Patton, Ennio Morricone, Hellraiser and the Klingon Theme.
Pretty underestimated - do you know it? The music seems to be the only noteworthy thing of the film (IMDb rating: 2,7).
Inchon was years before Hellraiser so that wouldn't it technically be the other way around. Anyway good score, very different from Patton, the recording is of course infamously bad, but that didn't bother me as much as I expected it to.

That is why I said "most of his movies".
Titanic, Avatar, True Lies and Abyss have really ok to poor scripts
True Lies has fantastic hilarious cracking dialogue, so can't say I agree with you there.

The only reason Stanton got to make another big-budget movie for Disney right away was because he pitched a sequel to a hit. Whether or not Finding Nemo is a masterpiece is irrelevant.
I guess Book of Henry could affect Trevorrow's chances to direct anything original for awhile, but I dunno, if he makes a good Star Wars and it makes the money, then I think he'll survive. Depends on how big of a flop this ends up being, but it looks like it only cost $10 million? The guy who should really be worried is Gregg Hurwitz who wrote it (and this is his first movie.)
I doubt Book of Henry will affect his Star Wars directing gig, unless he pulls a Josh Trank on set or something, a little seen soon to be forgotten in three weeks small film probably isn't going to get him fired from Episode IX.

I'm not sure if it's worth 8/10, but it's certainly an interesting film, and it has a unique selling-point.
It's a very good revenge western with terrific performances from the entire cast, and for being his only film as a director, Brando sure does a great job. I know some have argued it was also influential on some Western spaghetti's too.
Interesting production as well. At one point Stanley Kubrick was set to direct and Sam Peckinpah worked on the script, of course neither ended up happening, but hey the movie we got isn't half-bad either.

One Eyed Jacks - 8 / 10

I'm sure / hopeful that Spielberg can make something entertaining out of the film regardless of the material.

Rabbit & Rogue - Danny Elfman - Pretty fantastic ballet from Elfman. Chaotic but also beautiful at the same time.

Batman, Spider-Man, Hulk, Hellboy, Avengers, and now Justice League. That's quite the superhero lineup.
That's an unexpected choice. He's scored so many superhero films at this point, might as well try his hands at the Justice League I guess.
BTW a lot of his own material for AOU was fairly good, his rendition of the Avengers theme was great, so I have confidence he'll deliver something good.

He stepped in to shoot some scenes after Snyder said he was taking a break because of his daughter's death.

Hans Zimmer does it alright.
Yeah, sometimes. Half the other time he seems to prefer loud textures above anything else.

I've heard good things about it, sadly only 15 minutes of it are on Spotify
Most of the score has been uploaded on youtube, if you care.

Composers that could actually make themes with counterpoints and clear melodies too.

True, but at this point I doubt Gia even wants to be the "next Williams". He just likes working on blockbusters or films with directors he's comfortable with, even Williams did a lot of dramatic films during his prime. Gia doesn't seem to be interested in that.
