Barnald 382 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I actually really like that Footsteps of Doom blast...I think it works well in tandem with Azog moving around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Gonzales 5,493 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The elegaic material? Sounds very Shore/Middle-Earth to me.Yeah, reminds me of a choral version of the end of The Entmoot Decides from TTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I like the first 10 second buildup to Ringwraiths chant too. But the chant itself still takes me out of the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Gonzales 5,493 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 That revised composition is pretty much a re-recording of Prologue: One Ring to Rule Them All, without Sauron's theme, plus the elegiac material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Pretty similar, but not the same.The eagles rescue scene on the other hand, is ripped right off the pages of Isengard Unleashed/Theoden Rides Forth, right down to the Gandalf material.

The Great Gonzales 5,493 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Pretty similar, but not the same.It is pretty much the same:"Prologue":Descending Third/Nazgul Theme counterpoint - Sauron Theme - Nazgul Theme - Footsteps of Doom.AUJ Cue:Descending Third/Nazgul Theme Counterpoint - Nazgul Theme (with the final note messed up) - Elegiac Material - Footsteps of Doom.The orchestration is more "beefy"/epic sounding in the AUJ cue, I'll give you that.

gkgyver 1,647 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 That poster is silly as hell.It would probably have more impact, had Bilbo not been portrayed as an adventurer from the beginning. That ship has pretty much sailed since the 007-poster that was used for the AUJ OST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Steef, I understand that we tend to whine and bitch too much, but surely you must agree that DoS is the worst looking film of the 5. Aside from the awful colour grading (this movie had the most green of the five I think), the artificial look of it all, a lot of the plausibility is gone. The strange thing is, the trailers had much better colour grading than the final product.DoS has some great effects, but overall, is the worst looking film of the franchise.

Jay 37,610 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I wish there was a way to see the original trilogy without any color grading at all. Only the old FOTR theatrical cut DVD is anything close to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 ROTK does look rather yellow.RotK definitely suffered from it. But by and large, it's impressive shots still hit you hard, compared to DoS, which all looks like it came from a computer. This probably has once again, something to do with location shooting vs. in-studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,647 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 And probably the completely digital shooting.And yet I can say the colour scheme of DoS loks better to me than AUJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
