TownerFan 4,983 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Another glowing review (mild spoilers):http://blogs.indiewire.com/thompsononhollywood/2011/10/16/review_spielbergs_the_adventures_of_tintin_secret_of_the_unicorn/#moreA negative (and pretty weird) remark about the score:Drawbacks? There are a few. The retro music over the credits is a tease – John Williams swiftly settles into one of his patented adventure-yarn scores that can be almost bombastically annoying at times, often drowning out some of the finer sound-effect detail.Wow, the music is mixed louder than sound fx! I say BRING IT ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Yea, I said that weeks ago - that using "Tinkertin" over the opening credits sets up a type of film and score that isn't there. That's why I assumed it was an end credits thing.Totally believe how he feels about the rest of the score too. There are plenty of people who don't like Williams action scores and find them too bombastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 That's the price moviegoers are paying after a decade of ugly film scores--they're deaf to great film music.I found that remark about music drowning the "fine sound fx" pretty curious however... it's the exact opposite of what we usually moan about!

Incanus 5,715 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I found that remark about music drowning the "fine sound fx" pretty curious however... it's the exact opposite of what we usually moan about Well gladly it is the other way around here as you said. I can't wait to hear a up-and-front mixed JW adventure score again. Yea, I said that weeks ago - that using "Tinkertin" over the opening credits sets up a type of film and score that isn't there. That's why I assumed it was an end credits thing.Totally believe how he feels about the rest of the score too. There are plenty of people who don't like Williams action scores and find them too bombastic.Tinker-tin is a singular moment I guess, a prologue which the film makers most likely wanted to be independent opening and introduction before the main body of the film and thus JW made the music singular and unique although he uses both the theme and accordion in the score proper. It maybe a bit misleading as an opening that sets up a quite a different mood from the rest of the material with its jazzy stylings.And yes there are many people who think JWs adventure scores are noisy and too bombastic. And then there are legions of who adore his great and thematic adventure writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,829 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Someone posted a negative review of the film in FSM from the guardian:http://www.guardian....-do-this-tintinI copy my reply from there:oh, it's what I expected.He doesn't criticize the film as a film on its own merit, but as an adaptation of the comics.If the comics never existed, and this was a whole new movie with a new character, the critic would be the same?I don't think so!And i think it's false to criticize anything on how it's faithful to its original source.As I said in another thread (or in this one), I can't say if Disney's Hercules (which is based on a myth of thousand years old and not just a comic series of 20th century) is a lousy film according to its faithfulness on the original material, but I should judge it as a film on its own.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I disagree. If something is an adaptation then judging in what way it deviates from the source material can certainly be a valid viewpoint.And the fact is that Tintin is NOT a whole new character, so many will go in with a pre-conceived idea about who the characters are.Though a review should not JUST be about that.

filmmusic 1,829 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 And i think it's false to criticize anything on how it's faithful to its original source.That's a stupid comment.If the comics never existed, and this was a whole new movie with a new character, the critic would be the same?Yeah, but the comics exists. That's the thing with adaptations. There is an original source. Why should we discard it?Ok then. I go along in your line.ALL the adaptations in film of Shakespeare , Homer, Jane Austin and other big writers of past centuries, are just lousy!There! ;-)oh, i wanted to add biographies too!Amadeus is just a lousy lousy film because it doesn't have anything to do with the real life of Mozart and it's full of inconsistencies, incaccuracies and false information.

filmmusic 1,829 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 So, ( a bit irrelevant to the thread), you're telling me you're judging the film Amadeus on how faithful it is to the real life of Mozart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 153 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Fidelity can be taken into account if you use it to see where film and (comic) book differ from one another. If it's used to make any evaluative judgments on the adaptation, though, and sees the original source as the yardstick, it is very much a misguided approach.

filmmusic 1,829 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 that's what I meant exactly. thank you!(and you're Belgian too - meaning you could have been prejudiced about the film since Tintin is your country's comic hero) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilal 569 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 "Relax, i interviewed a pilot once" is an alternate take to the one used in the first trailer (not the 1 minute teaser).And you can clearly hear that "Tintin" is from a different part of the movie than "You do now what you're doing".Other than that there's some cool new footage here.
