Koray Savas 2,251 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 You guys are still doubting Silvestri's scoring the film?Weird...It's not weird, it's logical. There is absolutely no proof.How's this for proof?http://captainamerica.marvel.comThank you. All this time people have just been quoting that one article that gave no source for their information.

Jay 37,373 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Oh well. Giacchino still has Super 8 (June 10), Cars 2 (June 24), 50/50 (Sep 30), and Mission Impossible 4 (Dec 13) this year, so Captain America was probably too much on his plate anyway.Maybe Silvestri's score will be good; he wrote some good stuff in the 80s and 90s!

Matt C 455 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 All this time people have just been quoting that one article that gave no source for their information.Since I worked in this field, here's why: Most reputable news reporters (and news sites) are not required to give away their sources, if their sources want to remain anonymous and confidential. You don't see Nikki Finke giving away the sources of her numerous 'Shocking!' and 'Toldja' scoops, and for good reason. But the reporters double-check the authenticity and do fact-checks before writing the article.AP reporters do that too, so it's not just Nikki Finke and FMR.

Salacius 7 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Silvestri instead of Giacchino = huge disappointment.Hey, Star Trek was THE most disappointing score of all times for me.But I love Giacchino's works, he is an exceptional composer.Even so, I have to defend Silvestry. He is also an extremely exceptional composer, much more experiencedand I don't remember being disappointed from his works (at least not as much as Star Trek) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,359 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 SilvestriI like SOME OF his scores more than Giacchino's, and I never knew he composed the so-called "Super Mario Bros."

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I love that people have this idea of Silvestri as a giant hack fixed in to one type of writing. Has everyone forgotten when this entire board was jizzing over 'A Christmas Carol'? 'GI Joe' and 'The A-Team' were solid contemporary action scores that would have been put on a pedestal had they been written by John Powell. But what really matters is how far Marvel are willing to let Joe Johnston go. His movies have all had pretty decent scores ('Rocketeer', 'Hidalgo', 'JP3'), and 'The Wolfman' had an epic score that was screwed by Universal. By all accounts it was Marvel that pointed Debney into the generic rock opera of 'Iron Man 2', so it'll be down to how much they and Johnston can compromise into how good this score may be.Maybe a good idea of what to expect will be with Patrick Doyle's 'Thor'.

You can bet we'll hear a repeat on the third Iron Man film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demondm810 399 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I think Joe Johnston would have let Silvestri go all out for this one. He's a pretty big fan of film music. I have pretty high expectations. Silvestri's large orchestral bombast should fit this like a glove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Anyways since I'm pretty sure the movie is going to be similar to Iron Man/A-Team/GI Joe type of fare. A big CGI crap fest with incoherent fast cut action sequences. Which calls for a modern Silvestri score or Zimmer type score 'GI Joe' and 'The A-Team' were solid contemporary action scores that would have been put on a pedestal had they been written by John Powell. Then they would have been even lower on my listening priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been talking about making a Raiders-type of film with this one, and he's been given room to do so. I don't see any reason to fear either the type of film or score that you're talking about.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I've only ever liked Silvestri with Zemeckis, and his few scores with Verbinski, plus Predator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,695 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 That's pretty much my attitude too. His work for modern action fare recently has gained zero interest from me. He's either in modern brainless action mode, or cheesy OTT, half slapstick action mode. I hate both.Whereas his collaboration with Zemeckis... well I like most of those scores enough that I'd buy an Elfman-esque box without much hesitation.

Romão 2,274 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 It's surprising that thus far, based only on the snippets we have seen from each movie, that Captain American is the superhero movie of 2011 that is looking better. They started by making the right decision by having the movie set in the 1940's, but from the get go, this movie had the weakest source material, the least intriguing cast, probably the most pedestrian director, when compared to Thor and Green Lantern. And those two look horrendous from the little I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,302 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thor looks great. Waay more interesting that Captain America. We've seen basically nothing from Green Lantern yet. That one is a wild card. I'm still not sure how they will pull off certain stuff. I've been surprised by some character designs for it, though.
