Trumpeteer 302 Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 My favorite: "Minority Report"But it's not the best score of the summer. That belongs to "Road to Perdition." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickenstein 0 Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Attack of the Clones followed closely by SpidermanI'm looking forward to what the fall brings: Red Dragon, Die Another Day, Harry Potter2, Star Trek Nemesis, and probably something I'm forgetting.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 I wish I could say I had one, but I don't.Neither JW effort captured my fancy,but I do have a favorite que from this summer.Confrontation with Count Dooku.Wonderful last 2 minutes.

DarthMatt 0 Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 IMHO the best score of Summer 2002 was Signs from James Newton Howard. I loved Minority Report as well as ATOC, and Spiderman was Elfman at the top of his game, but Signs to me was just better than all 3 of them.

Rogue_Leader 2 Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Can I say none? No score this summer really blew me away. However, I guess I would go with Road to Perdition.All I know is BIG JOHN REALLY DROPPED THE BALL this summer with AOTC and Minority Report. Not bad scores but not worthy of JW's greatness by ANY means. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpeteer 302 Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Signs Was there actually competiton? Yeah: "Road to Perdition." Those two are the best scores of the year, givig their films so much more than visuals could do (which is saying a lot for "Road").But I have found myself listening only to tracks 1-4 and 12 of "Signs" lately. Without the images, most of the score gets too repetitive on CD. Or maybe I'm just going through "Signs" overload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 AOTC is first for me, then followed closely by Minority Report (I happen to like ALL the themes) and I really enjoy Spider-Man as well. I liked Signs as heard in the film, but I haven't listened to it other than that one time, so I can't really judge.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 Let Master Skywalker call the movie what he wants. Its not like its set in stone what the film must be abbreviated as.Anyway I hope Johnny does a better job with Episode III. By SW soundtrack standards the AOTC soundtrack (at least the current one) is "Teh SUX0RS" as the 12 years olds say nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCFKevin 0 Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 AOTC, definitely. Probably my favorite score in recent years. Nothing's really impressed me lately. Although I too hope that Williams does better with Episode III. EVERYONE involved needs to pull out all the stops.I found Spiderman to be VERY typical.

ocelot 508 Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 1. AOTC2. Signs3. Minority Report4. Road to PerditionI can't even think of a 5th one right now. Spiderman (the film) was great, but the score bored me big time and it was way too loud all the time. I love Elfman, but that was not my cup of tea. It needed to be way less dark and a lot more playful. Spiderman is NOT Batman and it sounded that dark at times. I'm not saying it was crap, to many people it was great, but to me, I think it was a cmplete let down. Maybe this is the style he is evolving to and that's great.... I expect him to be a lot more inventive and mature though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
