Pieter Boelen 633 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Every few days I will post a thread on a random score from my collection that we can discuss and rate. I made a playlist on my computer with one track of each score I've got, so by using the random play option, I'll be able to post a truly random score each time. Hopefully this will allow us to discuss some scores that would otherwise never be discussed. Also we can record the rating so that we can create a full list of the ratings given to scores by JWFan.com.At request, today's score is Hancock by John Powell. Are you familiar with it? What do you like about it? What don't you like about it? How do do you think it works in the film? What are your favourite tracks?So far JWFan has rated:See Soundtrack Ratings by JWFan.com.This web page contains the ratings from all my previous polls as well as those of Blumenkohl's.Final ratings are converted to a 1-10 rating for both rating systems so that they can be compared.

Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'm almost tempted to give it five stars. I certainly enjoy the hell out of it.4 stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissPadmé 17 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 3,5It worked very, very well in the movie, but when listening to it without pictures it fails to touch me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,484 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 It's nice and groovy.No intention to see the movie to find out how cues like 'Getting Therapy' or 'The Moon and the Superhero' work in tandem with the images, but Powell's slickness certainly is no hindrance for one of those Smith/summer BB things.

Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I was really looking to find out how SUV Chase played with the images.Dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckM 1 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Excellent score! I give it a 4.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 2,082 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Gotta give it a 5. I find the whole thing very memorable, and the final 4 or 5 cues are among my favourite of the year.Pity it was chopped up quite a bit in the film, and only half of the last track is actually used.

Erik Woods 384 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 One of the best of 2008. -Erik- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 1,394 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I only saw the film once, and in a rather noisy environment, but the score still really didn't leave any impact on me, which is kind of unusual. I usually remember at least vague impressions of a film's score, but I'm drawing a blank on this one. So it was either so good that it fit the film like a glove, so mediocre that nothing stood out to me whatsoever, or so bad that my brain has selectively erased the memory.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 4 stars. It's a lot of fun - a nice modern sound, but with actual musical ability behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
