Indiana_Fett 0 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Badelt, becuase almost everyone in MV needs to copy Zimmer's style, something I'm not really gonna blame Zimmer for.And my least favorite Williams cue is 'Banning Back Home'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitch 57 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Philip Glass. Brrrrrr!Couldn't you have picked a better picture of Philip Glass at least???For me, my most hated composer would have to be John Williams because, as Sir Steef has correctly pointed out, no good will ever come from this thread and also I am a loyal servant to Sir James Horner. I am not about to jump ship now. I can't jump anyway. I will defend zimmer of course.With a Zimmer-frame, I hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 75 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Well, I don't hate anyone, but I'd have to say that I dislike Zimmer the most.Jedi Rocks would have to be my least favorite Williams cue.Edit: Sorry, I'll change my least favorite to Lapti Nek.

ymenard 54 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 How can anybody hate somebody like Philip Glass... as a movie composer?

John Crichton 4 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I don't hate any composer. I don't know them personally. But a composer I don't like, as a whole, is of course Zimmer and the Zimmerclones.My least favorite Williams cue?

BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Why do people here hate Badelt so much? Some of his music is decent, most arent standouts (whether in a good or bad way), and he is credited for POTC, which was absolute rubbish, but also a score which we dont really know who wrote what. Or do we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Vincent 8 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I have never hated any composer until this year with Gustavo Santaolalla. But is he really a composer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neimoidian 14 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I generally don't like Trevor Rabin's or Greame Revell's scores, they are just not my cup of tea.I am not a fan of MV scores either, though when their composers are given more freedom, they can come up with suprisingly interesting albums (e.g. I personally like "The Time Machine" by K. Badelt). I hate Zimmer's action scores, while I love his dramatic, more serious works.My worst Williams - that would probably be something form "War of the Worlds", "Always" or "Missouri Breaks". These are the only scores of his (which I know) that I really don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He chose to compose like a first-year composer, perhaps Sorry but not everyone with a bit of training is a good composer. Glass is the primo example proving that if you don't have any musical talent you won't be able to fool them all. Heck, that's why Glass is primary listened to by people with absolutely no interest in orchestral music. Glass? Not for connoisseurs. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobky 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Ok that thread turned out to bash me a little.Sinceit turned out to be about Remote Control(MV), let's see why poeple hate them so much. Well there use of electric sounds may be wierd but not always. Also the use of electric guitar isnot that bad, I liked Black Hawk Down it has some nice cues.And let's change the word hate to dislike.

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I find Glass to be rather hit-and-miss. His score for Dracula (for one) just doesn't do it for me as a piece of music, but his two David Bowie symphonies are excellent, and his Itaipu: The Canyon, and the Kundun score are also excellent IMO.
