Josh500 1,615 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 It's a competition between these two works by the grand masters of film music:Which SCORE/MOVIE do you prefer? BTW, I voted Minority Report the score and Total Recall the movie.(I would have added Blade Runner by Vangelis, but then realized I don't know the score/movie well enough myself.)

Marian Schedenig 8,192 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Is this a joke? The best action score of all time versus one of the less interesting Williams entries of recent years? MR has some nice moments, mostly the (sparse) action writing, and generally works well in the film. Only the best scores can try and measure themselves with TR, and this isn't one of them by far.As for the film... both are good. I clearly want to pick TR here, too (and I will), although I'm not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Minority Report for movie , easily. It is great film and I don't like any of Verhoeven's movies.MR also for music . It's not great Williams but beats Goldsmith's action-writing , which I don't like at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitch 57 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 At least we get plenty of blood and gore from Verhoeven. The bloodiest Spielberg has ever done was Quint's death scene in Jaws and maybe the Israeli bloodbath in Munich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 153 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Is this a joke? The most interesting and most underrated Williams effort of the last ten years, which unfortunately suffers from a bad soundmix, versus the most overrated Goldsmith score ever, with bland writing and one of his worst examples of bad blending between synth and orchestra.Whoever votes for the film Total Recall by the way should get their cinematic priorities straight It's not at all so ambiguous as Verhoeven would like it to be.

You know, I should have voted for Minority Report movie too. I own that on DVD, but I don't own Total Recall, although I have seen that many times on TV when I was a kid. I think I have nostagic, fond memories of that movie... although it's pretty violent and bizarre in places. When I was ten or so, I remember freaking out about Arnold's face exploding and his eyeballs popping out! Or how he sticks that weird tool up his nose.

Lurker 5 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Total Recall x 2I saw a beat up print last week and it still entertains and that score is just THE nonstop balls-to-the-wall action score.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 SPR is pretty gory. But it's never as gratuitous as Verhoeven, who always thoroughly enjoys his bloodsplatters.He doesn't enjoy it, but he beliefs that making violence look harmless or even cool is immoral.Violence is a Verhoeven film usually looks horrific.I still wish he would have been able to make his dream project about Jesus Christ, it would made Mel Gibson's film look like Walt Disney, for sure.
