Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Was any of that on the OST? If not, it's irrelevant. The composer never wanted you to hear it on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,483 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 The shortest and acceptable way of listening ROTJ is on the 1993 Anthology boxset. Disc 3. You don't even have to combine the Disc 4 tracks if you don't want to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 ROTJ is the worst of the OT, and by that I mean it really isnt a good film. It's also not a bad film. And parts of it do work. But my God, what a step down from the previous two. Great score though.... Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those scores I should love but just can't get into. The music for the final duel is some of Williams' best music but the rest doesn't really do much for me. A large part of this is due to the comparitively underwhelming thematic material (apart from the iconic Emperor's theme). The duo of "Parade of the Ewoks" and "Luke & Leia" are by far the weakest "primary themes" of the Williams films. I suppose the concert-esque action music is cool, but even then I don't find myself returning to it as much as other SW action music.

crocodile 8,017 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Obsession by Bernard Herrmann. The Tadlow re-recording. Although the Music Box version is excellent too. Earlier listened to McNeely's recording of Vertigo. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,017 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Both Zimmer and Herrmann could learn a thing or two about film scoring from Michael Giacchino. I've not actually heard Dunkirk outside of the film. Hard to comment as it is not exactly the most "musical" of scores. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 It is what passes for a great score in 2017. And in a way it's fair to say we have long left the age of fully rounded composers with a huge bag of technical knowledge, experience and education that translates into inventive and exquisitely written music even for potboilers like 'Star Trek V', 'The Lost World' or 'The Pagemaster' (random selection).
