Jim Ware 526 Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 From what I've heard of the score, it's as good as (if not better) than The Fellowship Of The Ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,274 Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 I'm sure this one will be as overrated as FOTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Yeah Merkel, I agree. I mean, I enjoy FotR, but not nearly to the extent of many who praise it endlessly. It's a good score, but to me, nothing more.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCFKevin 0 Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 From what I've heard of the score, it's as good as (if not better) than The Fellowship Of The Ring.Oh, so it'll actually be good? Seriously.....is that really saying much? I guess if you love FOTR, it is. If you found it simply an alright movie, then I guess it ain't anything to get too excited aboot.

Wickenstein 0 Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Sometimes opinions can change. I wasn't a big fan of the Matrix or its score when I first saw it. Same with Lord of the Rings. I watched the special edition a few days ago though and I liked it much better the second time. The score works incredibly with the visuals in Lord of the Rings. I only wish the makers of Star Wars cared enough to give the score equal treatment as the LOTR special edition. I didn't hear a single edit anywhere in the movie. So basically, what I'm trying to say is that I too was once not a fan of the movie/score but that changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 FOTR is still a 4 out of 5 stars score. Indeed it is a good score. As the movie is a very good movie. Just not as good as some say, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,274 Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I don't think it deserved the oscar at all, but was worthy enough of a nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST-321 4 Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 So did you see the FSM's slam at Trek with their "track titles" for the Nemesis score?Cues include "Set Your Phasers to Bland," "Lore Outs Data," "I'm a Doctor, Not a Transsexual," "The Wedding of Tasha and Wesley," "Picard Inherits Kirk's Toupee," and "Klingon Theme For the Last Damn Time" Yeesh!

Guest Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 there is another review over at www.soundtrack.net that analyzes each track providing a thirty second soundclip of each one. the score sounds VERY good. i was highly impressed with what i heard. this is coming from someone who thought that the score to FOTR was simply good. well, this appears to be a major improvement.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAfonso 186 Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Oh, I can't wait, I caaan't waiiiiiit... my precioussssss....Those soundclips sadly don't show as much as they could, were they intelligently selected... in several track descriptions I read about parts of tracks that I was so eager to get a peek at, only to discover that the chosen sound clip consisted of a section of strings work (nothing wrong with the string work, though... but I want to hear the climax of track 1!!!).However, 6 tracks ("The Riders of Rohan", "Evenstar", "The White Rider", "The Hornburg", "Forth Eorlingas!", "Isengard Unleashed") already found their way to the net in complete form (from ClassicFM's broadcast), and those are gorgeous!Have I mentioned that I can't wait for this CD?My precioussss.....-Chrisssss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 With the exception on the first track and tracks Uruk-Hai and The White Rider, I'm not impressed at all. And what the hell is Gollum's song doing in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I'm not impressed in any way. :roll: I agree with Merkel.Here you have the running time of the film: 2 hours, 59 minutes and 10 seconds.It's not as long as I thought (it was supposed to be MUCH longer than the first one, but if you considerate 9 minutes that much....... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
