Nick Parker 3,040 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I believe Koray is having trouble connecting "Jingle All the Way" to "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith". I am, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob 0 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Do you dislike Glass and DN, Koray? Because you haven't quite made it clear in your posts. Hey, everyone constantly talks about how they hate RCP, so I will constantly talk about how I hate D.Newman and Glass. May as well throw Edelman and Debney in there.If for nothing else Debney is a film music god for Cutthroat Island alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutthroat Island is one, Dragonheart is another. I think there are one or two more I like, but aside from those that's it. He's typecast into the bad comedies and kids films like David Newman. Not much room for any creativity. I can pretty much tell you the composer of a movie without knowing it. I remember seeing the poster for Hotel For Dogs at my theater. And I'm like "What the hell is this? Sounds like something John Debney would do." Lo and behold there is the credit at the bottom "Music by John Debney."

Neimoidian 14 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I do like KotCS, but I find RotS better - it's more engaging score to listen drama-wise. Indy 4, except couple of tracks, leaves me rather indifferent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 I really thought RotS is a very unpopular score around here. Seems I was wrong. Or you just have to compare RotS to an even less popular score, and suddenly everybody seems to be loving it. BTW I'm wondering what does Jurassic Park III have to do with anything? Now, turd is the right word, at least. Do I hear a cell phone beeping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSM 126 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I gotta be honest, I love Indy more than Star Wars. So KOTCS! I never got into Star Wars, somehow, maybe coz I'm a girl? No, I also never got into SW, that is, the prequels.KotCS I prefer, because it is an Indy score, and it feels like an Indy score. RotS I don't know what is sounds like but not SW.

Just meandering stuff that never really goes anywhere to my ears.I agree that Debney's typecast, and it appears that he enjoys doing smaller projects, which is a pity. Also, Debney's got 4 cues from his replacement music for he Mummy 3 on his site, and I don't know whether it's just me, but they really do sound to me like he had 5 days to write them. Not at all memorable.Edelman just needs to ditch the synths IMO. He's done some nice material. All those assurances from Rob Cohen about there being 'nothing synth paddy' about The Mummy was unfortunately total rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,016 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 There are many single cues that are better in ROTS, I admit. But the score as a whole feels just too disjointed to me. I find KOTCS much more cohesive. I still listen to it a lot, along with the previous three (now that I own the set ). ROTS I rarely return to these days.

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I listened to The Mummy 3 all the way through a couple of days ago.Again I am thoroughly unimpressed; there's nothing that stands out.The themes are nice(ish), but the action music is just noise without any flow.Also there's an overly modern sound in many parts(do I hear a hint of an electrical guitar in the main theme?)This is especially unfortunate when compared to both Jerry Goldsmith's andAlan Silvestri's stellar efforts from the previous installments.I just started listening to The Mummy Returns and it reallt is brilliant.Almost every track on the complete version has got something to enjoy.Some more than others, but it's a very good listen almost all the way through.Unlike most people, I think, I actually did like The Mummy 3 as a film though.However, I found the music to be positively distracting.
