Quintus 5,399 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 It suddenly occurred to me that it's my day off today and with nothing in particular to do, so I thought why not, and now here I am sat in the theatre waiting for it to start. My first time going solo at the cinema, actually. As for Gia, maybe this is the time he surprises me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch! 52 minutes ago, tUfnTIEfighter said: Cinemalogue writes: Quote The split-personality disorder is multiplied by Michael Giacchino’s (characteristically) anemic score, standing in for the superlative Alexandre Desplat who bowed out due to scheduling conflicts. While John Williams is no Nino Rota, indiscriminately stealing from Holst, he does understand the importance of strong themes. This one is impressive. Not only it takes Giacchino down a few pegs it also makes a sly underhanded stab at Williams' abdomen with the sneering comment and reducing his musical contributions to mere pastiche of Holst. Nice but rather predictable. Only about 30+ years late. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahsoka's theme and the Clone motif are both better than any of the new themes and I always thought his sparse use of JW's music was well thought out and was more impactful as a result. His work on Rebels is a different kettle of fish. Gia only had 4 weeks, fair enough but the over bearing brass probably wasn't a result of a short timeframe.

Indianagirl 298 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I saw the movie last night. I'm on my way to work and don't have time for a proper review but I will say very quickly that I personally found the score to be incredibly distracting.

Bespin 8,489 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 You know the problem with this word..."Mostly"... Let's speaking of French a little bit. In french we can say: surtout, principalement, essentiellement, majoritairement, généralement, habituellement, quasiment, pratiquement, presque. All these word have their own meaning in french, their own subtility, but they all define the word "Mostly" in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still typical Star Wars, to a point that you've seen it all before, but it's less a carbon copy that TFA is. A. A. Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
