Quintus 5,399 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 If the saviour of many JWFaners can't even turn in a decent and spirited dinosaur soundtrack - with some original content by non other than JOHN WILLIAMS - then I'm sorry but those guys really do deserve the mocking they come in for by us others here who have been calling false prophet since day one. Because there is no excuse. It sounds like Lost does it? And that's acceptable? Ken Thorne didn't enjoy the unfounded hype this guy gets, but that didn't stop him from delivering a fun followup which slotted in just fine with the masterful original. Gia better damn well be capable of doing the same, or who exactly the hell is this guy you easily pleased lot all throw your knickers at?

publicist 4,643 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 No one ever did.Horner has produced some stunning masterpieces. Something Gia has yet to do.Of course they did and for good reason. While McDonald's might be a rather wimpy analogy in either case, Horner's reputation got tarnished fast after a rapturous start - but still, warts and all, my point was that Horner mediocrities still stand 100 feet tall above those of the gentleman in question.

Quintus 5,399 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Luckily for Horner he'd already produced a few outstanding scores for film by that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Horner, despite the laziness has about 10 times more musical panache and dramatic flair then Gia. Not Mr. Big and Sharkissimo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Ah yes. Early Horner when he was fresh faced and eager.Sure those early scores weren't very original, but filled with a puppydog enthusiasm that is hard to resist.

publicist 4,643 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 We all know that. But Horner wasn't hired to compose music for JURASSIC WORLD, feeding the blockbuster fanboy trolls who lick up every tweet about #omg!jjabramsjustcameoverfromdubbingofTFA - the quality of the music, or better, the music/dramatic acumen going into it seemed never more beside the point than these days.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Didnt I create a Giacchino bashing thread?I come to this thread for news about the film-score....If the trend continues i think i'm going to end hating both film and score by June 12th!Recorded over five days not four.Maybe the film isn't that long and doesn't need a lot of score.Still seems short for a Jurassic Park movie. Reports are 2.5 hour duration, so you'd think there's at least 2 hours of score.Eh, no. While i would prefer a longer score, JP films do not neccessarily mean they have long scores. Both JP and JPIII fit in one 80 min CD. (a little overburned in the case of JPIII)Ken Thorne didn't enjoy the unfounded hype this guy gets, but that didn't stop him from delivering a fun followup which slotted in just fine with the masterful original. Gia better damn well be capable of doing the same, or who exactly the hell is this guy you easily pleased lot all throw your knickers at?Are we talking about Superman II?, a kind of score that would kill Giacchino definitively for his detractors: Practically no original material, just arrangement and orchestrating of Williams music, with a smaller orchestra?Do you want a Superman II pulled for this film? Does that mean craftmanship?It's not even the same park or characters anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both JP and JPIII fit in one 80 min CD. (a little overburned in the case of JPIII)This film is supposedly half an hour longer than Jurassic Park, so I'd be expecting at least 20 more minutes than JP1 (which was about 80 IIRC).TLW had at least 100 minutes of score, I think? JP3 was scored almost wall-to-wall and that movie was only 90 minutes.Happy to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 JNH had the big advantage of having a huge love/pet story that is the core of the story whereas JURASSIC WORLD looks like another escapist spectacle not about anything than some chase scenes. It's hard to give that musical puff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 That's a valid point. JNH had a great tragedy angle to play off in the score.And yet I doubt this score will have anything that will hold up to JNH's music for the island itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNH had a great tragedy angle to play off in the score.And yet I doubt this score will have anything that will hold up to JNH's music for the island itself.But i wouldn't even lay that blame on Giacchino's door - writing interesting music for action scene after action scene minus gravitas has become the most elusive target in film music these days. Hasn't JNH succumbed to RCP simplicity these days?Let's say his stuff has become increasingly loud and obnoxious but like with MALEFICENT, it seems the only way to cut through the sound mix.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Am I reading definitive opinions already on the film and score based on 3 minutes of footage (one trailer, one teaser and one scene) plus half a dozen stills for the former and a 15 sec clip, three cuesheet pages and a bunch of session photos for the latter?I think (part of) JWFan broke a record there.

Brónach 1,302 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I was just imagining Desplat's main titles over the trailer.Then again, Gia did Cloverfield, but that would sound inappropiate here.I don't think Gia is a hack. I think he pushes himself reaaally slowly (and sometimes backwards). It's a bit puzzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,504 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Nice photo with Giacchino & Don Williams up there. Don is between 15-20 years younger than his older brother, so he must be in his late 60s by now, I suppose. Still going strong as percussionist, though -- and he looks more like his father than John does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
