Bespin 8,484 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 started the day with boring Bach's Christmas cantatas, then it listened to: - Heidi (the score) - Poseidon Adventure (expanded score) (well, expanded...)

publicist 4,643 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Geez, growing success can either be motivation or invitation to sag. For Richter it seems to be the latter, as his latest - no doubt a multiple Award contender 2018 - hardly rises above the Craig Armstrong level of quaffable orchestrated pop music. Thematically dull and harmonically feeble, Richter even lays on the tv-style booming percussion and it's the score's death knell. The limitations could have worked in the hands of say, Michael Nyman, but with Richter you just hope that it doesn't get too much recognition as an example of 'respectable' film music.

publicist 4,643 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 A few notches above 'regular' 2018 film music (the solistic instrumental and orchestrational choices are at times comparable to Austin WIntory's recent chamber-styled scores like Assassin's Creed: Syndicate). Another plus is the brevity, it's agreeable 37 minutes in length. The thematic material is a bit coarse and non-descript, though, too much resembling Zimmer's minimalist bombast: it sounds huge but musically not that much is happening apart from long block chords. Still, a blessing compared to 'Mortal Engines'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nick Parker 3,040 Posted December 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2018 I thought you grew out of this cartoon crap! Well, if we can lobotomize Matriss and make him love The Last Jedi, then we can work wonders with _your_ brains, Sev..... Also, listened to Justice League last night. It...wasn't...too bad. I actually...kind of liked what I heard... His handling of his older material is bafflingly and embarrassingly weak, and pales in the creative abandon and excitement that he exhibited circa Batman, but there were a few times where I thought, "Hey, this is Danny Elfman!" It's interesting to read all the YouTube comments that rip into this score, saying that it's way too cartoony. If something as toned down in Elfman's color palette as this is considered too quirky and "retro" for a bunch of comic book characters, then...are the studios the real villains when it comes to the watering down of film scores?
