Not Mr. Big 4,651 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The winner of best score from the Los Angeles film critics. War Horse's score is being panned by critics for it's corniness but Hanna's score is widely acclaimed.What do you think? Because in my humble opinion it's corny to the point of it sounding as if it was farted out by unicorns. (That'll be my low brow joke of the day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,651 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 I've never seen so much opposition for a film score.Hanna's score sounds like something I would write just to be annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I read one negative review of the score, and I read far more negative reactions to The Social Network's score. Look how well that fared... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,587 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 HANNA is -- in short -- one of the very best scores this year, and probably the soundtrack I've played the most. The film is my third favourite of the year too. Absolutely fantastic stuff!Haven't gotten WAR HORSE yet, and the movie doesn't premiere in Norway for another couple of months, so I can't compare yet.

Jay 37,466 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Listened to the CD yesterday, inspired by this thread. Didn't care for it, and I like this kind of music and the Chemical Brothers in general. But this score was just... weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salacius 7 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Crappola, sorry I don't elaborate but even this one word review is too much for it. Avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I loved Hanna, score and film. I thought the music was extremely effective. Yes, the music in that clip (first post) is goofy, but it's also scource music for a goofy stage performance. I love the way the music works in the action scenes in the film.But it's not a typical score. The fact that it was already done when the film was being made opens an interesting debate as to the nature of a score. And while I love real orchestral scores as much as the next guy, I don't think every score has to be one. I'm okay with trying something different, if it's good—which I think this is.

Thor 7,587 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I loved Hanna, score and film. I thought the music was extremely effective.

Film music would be extremely boring if it were just traditional, orchestral music in the style of John Williams all the time.I'm a HUGE electronica buff, and am very glad that talented electronica artists such as Chemical Brothers (or Daft Punk last year) gets the chance to do film music as well! More of this, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikomochi 1,136 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I kind of got the impression that any awards attention Hanna got was sort of leftover momentum from The Social Network being a big winner. I feel like voters probably saw two famous musicians from a band doing a score with mostly electronic elements and simply wanted it to win. Hanna works fairly well in the film, and it's decent music, but I don't really see it as award worthy, and I certainly don't think the score has the in-film effect The Social Network had. Not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,038 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 The actual score aside, Dario Marianelli turned the film down because he wasn't interested in this type of scorin thatg its director wanted. I like this guy.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 War Horse might be the most controversial score of the year. You can't rack up all those best score nominations without a decent amount of support, but it certainly has a its detractors also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
