M:I-2

Hans Zimmer's M:I-2 is probably one of the worst scores I own. There are only a few good cues. So my question is this: What's the best?

My favorite is probably Mission: Accomplished, which I think it much better than the rest of the score. Then comes Nyah and Ethan, then Bare Island, which are okay. The rest are on par with the rest of the score (which isn't a good thing).

Zimmer's effort was not totally wasted, IMO, although I sincerely wish someone else scored this movie.

My favorite tracks are...

Seville, The Heist, Bare Island, and Nyah And Ethan.

I didn't care for this score at all when it was released. For a long time it was my least favorite Zimmer score. Once I got the *ahem* more complete version, it's grown on me a little more. My personal favorites are:

Intro/Airplane Crash

Laptop Message

Nyah and Sean Meet (by Klaus Badelt)

"All I Needed to Hear" aka Sean's Theme

Biocyte Helicopter Jump (Film & CD versions)

Injection

Bare Island (by Klaus Badelt)

The Badelt tracks are very similar to his work on Equilibrium, which was a far superior effort IMO. The CD was also poorly constructed, with Spanish music and techno music placed in favor of the brooding, orchestral music that Zimmer is known for.

I had no idea Badelt had anything to do w/ this!

This is definately one of Zimmer's lesser scores. I really don't have a whole lot of good things to say about it. (And I'm generally a fan of MV).

Elfman and Giacchino, however did a superb job with one and three, respectively.

I think compared to M:1-2, defenetly. By themselves, they are great scores, but I've heard better.

The only way I can enjoy M:I2 is to take it outside of the M:I series and treat it as a standalone John Woo film. And even then, it pales in comparison to his other films. I've read that there's an extended version that fills in the plot holes though.

The Spanish scenes in Spain from this movie are embarrasing.

More embarrasing is the point that neither Cruise nor (British!) Hopkins knew a shit about my country and read the shit line they were given without questioning them...

So were the Spanish scenes in Italy :thumbup:

indy4-who thinks not only does the score suck, but the movie was incredibly corny.

It's way better than MI:1 IMO, and I like it almost as much as Woo's other masterpiece, Face/Off

:) How could i have written that?

I wanted to write Seville instead of the 2nd 'Spain'...

Its even innacurate... i dont think they filmed in Spain...at least the Seville scenes. I remember the sportcars of cruise and the girl to have spanish IDplates but...
