Star Wars Scores vs Star Trek (2009) - a 3-way poll

[Wojo 2,453]

You are comparing the scores. Which is better? Which do you prefer? Vote for album representation, vote for as heard on screen. I don't care, vote the way you want.

The only assumption that I'm making is that neither Star Wars nor The Empire Strikes Back is the worst score in the Star Wars franchise. I don't think that's unfair.

[Demondm810 399]

I like the new Star Trek score...but I don't think it compares even to the worst of Star Wars.

[King Mark 3,631]

AotC is still better than Star Trek

there is just no comparison in Williams overall music

[Charlie Brigden 7]

I put SW, ESB, ST. I like Trek way more than AOTC. Is it better? I don't know. But I like it more.

[Wojo 2,453]

I kept it to just Star Wars scores. I'm sure that there is one lousy score out there that Williams wrote that is worse than Michael G's Star Trek.

The last time I saw this many polls, I was in Warsaw.

[Hitch 57]

I haven't seen these many polls mistreated since WW2

[Wojo 2,453]

Hey, I'm pollish, I resemble that comment.

[Hitch 57]

Resent I think is the word.

Ah. I was never a big fan of monarchies.

[Diego 21]

Star Wars is much better than Star Trek

Empire is much better then Star Trek

Star Trek is much better than AOTC

[Ollie 1,059]

Star Wars

The Empire Strikes Back

Star Trek > AOTC, ROTS.

[Jacob 0]

Star Wars all the way.

[Datameister 2,041]

I like Star Trek plenty, but I had to vote the first option for each of these pairs. The Star Wars scores are just that good.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Yep. Daddy-O kicks something like The Motion Picture out of the park.

[Ollie 1,059]

Ben Hur's got nothing compared to John Goldfarb.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,068]

The only category ST wins is vs. AotC and RotS

[Ollie 1,059]

Yes.

[King Mark 3,631]

the entire score to Star Trek doesn't even measure up up to Anakins Dark Deeds (or Battle of the Heroes,or Across the Stars...) . That's not even debatable

Mark O you just put down RotS because Williams re-recorded 1 minute of the Duel from ESB and you feel it's soooo lazy that it brings the whole score down

[BLUMENKOHL 1,068]

No. They're not. They're just not. Anakin's Dark Deeds, Battle of Heroes, Across the Stars, they all sound like someone trying so hard and failing.

Those tracks shout "Yo Yo! Look at me! I'm J-Dub! Check diz out bitches! I can use teh epic choir and sexy depressing romantic themes! Check out my bursting at de seems epic choir bitches!" "Say George, am I important/relevant again?"

Meanwhile George is having sex with Ben Burtt, and turning up the volume on those space fighters.

That's literally what goes through my head when I hear those three tracks you mentioned.

Star Trek (2009) on the other hand actually...sounds like Giacchino wasn't interested...and it's still better! It's way more graceful....just because he clearly didn't even try.

[King Mark 3,631]

Williams didn't fail at all. There's lots of people here who consider RotS a near masterpiece

[Koray Savas 2,251]

And there's a word for those people...

Idiot!

[King Mark 3,631]

Speaking of blind fanboys. I think a few of you have become blind fanboys of Michael Giacchino and can't see his obvious limitations and that he is not REMOTELY in the range of JW.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,068]

Koray's opinion's on Giacchino are about as balanced as a see saw with an elephant on one end, and the death star on the other.

Williams didn't fail at all. There's lots of people here who consider RotS a near masterpiece

Yes because...it's a step up above from the status quo epic choir's trailer composers are pumping out. It's still glorified trailer music though. Is it necessarily John Williams fault that the last two prequel scores suck? No...the dynamics of Hollywood changed way too much.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Hey I may overpraise Giacchino, but some of his very early work is like impossibly good. I said it when I first listened to Star Trek, it's good but not as good as some of his other work.

How he gets inspiration to compose an amazing score for a crappy Small Soldiers game is beyond me.

[Trent Hoyt 13]

I got a headache just reading the choices. I could listen to a Star Wars or a Star Trek score everyday and not get sick of them. Hands down my two favorite franchises.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,068]

This ain't about Star Trek buddy, it's about Star Trek 2009

[Ollie 1,059]

When I listen to ROTS, I hear 1 or 2 good cues followed by a lot of tired sounding material from someone who was ready to move on after 1999 but felt he needed to stay and finish as a courtesy.

[Datameister 2,041]

Those tracks shout "Yo Yo! Look at me! I'm J-Dub! Check diz out bitches! I can use teh epic choir and sexy depressing romantic themes! Check out my bursting at de seems epic choir bitches!" "Say George, am I important/relevant again?" Meanwhile George is having sex with Ben Burtt, and turning up the volume on those space fighters.

That's literally what goes through my head when I hear those three tracks you mentioned.

I feel very fortunate that my brain hasn't imposed those sorts of thoughts on me while listening to that score!

[BLUMENKOHL 1,068]

Damn you courtesy!!!

[Datameister 2,041]

Courtesy will politely go hang itself now, just to avoid a confrontation.

[Romão 2,274]

I mean no disrespect to any one, but how can anyone claim Star Trek is a better score that either AOTC or ROTS is simply beyond me. They're on two completely different levels.

[Ollie 1,059]

And it perplexes me how people can listen to Hans Zimmer, but .... happens.

[Diego 21]

AOTC is decent at best, it's not even Johnny's fault, just look at the movie, he sometimes writes amazing stuff for crap, this wasn't one of those times.

[Trent B 337]

For Star Trek Vs. Star Wars, I voted Star Wars.

For TESB Vs. Star Trek, naturally I voted TESB.

For the "worst" Star Wars film vs Star Trek, I voted Star Wars.

[Wojo 2,453]

I got a headache just reading the choices. I could listen to a Star Wars or a Star Trek score everyday and not get sick of them. Hands down my two favorite franchises.

That's ok, I got a headache writing the choices, too.

Trent, I hope you meant "score," not "film." This isn't about the films. Let somebody else make that stupid poll.

[Hlao-roo 389]

Williams didn't fail at all. There's lots of people here who consider RotS a near masterpiece

I wouldn't go that far, but I happen to think Revenge of the Sith is about as good an action-adventure score as we could expect from Williams at this stage of his career. It still suffers from the same flaws that hobble all of Williams's post-The Lost World: Jurassic Park action-adventure scores, including the much-heralded Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, but it remains highly listenable.

[Ollie 1,059]

Ask and Ye shall receive.....

Actually on second thought, we may have already done that.

[Wojo 2,453]

You're right, somebody did, relating the cinematic experiences of SW 77 to ST 09.

[Hlao-roo 389]

You're right, somebody did, relating the cinematic experiences of SW 77 to ST 09.

Geez, what idiot would do that?

Any of the Star Wars Scores tops Star Trek (2009) anyday. The score doesnt even come close (as much as its probably perfect for the film, still no where near goo enough to top Williams' Star Wars Music).
