Jay 37,320 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Hmmm movie looks kind of interesting after all. Though I want to see Wright's intended version, not the studio-meddled version. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Boelen 740 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 LOL! That movie looks ridiculous. I'll probably still watch it some time.Flying pirate ship battle? Suuuure! Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 It's actually and...hahar...ironically much closer to James Newton Howards PETER PAN. Compare the jolly swashbuckling in the clip with this cue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loert 2,510 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Thank you BloodBoal for the links. The action stuff is pretty standard Powell bombast, not on the same level as HTTYD but still good. I sense notable influences from the "Mars Needs Moms" score in some of the themes. However I really love "Mermaid Rescue music_02" and "Neverland Your Room loop", in particular I like how he mixes the harp, celeste and synth in the first one. Will definitely be picking up the final score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 The droll classicisms in OVERTURE sound much more engaging than the run-of-the-mill orchestral stuff for the big action scenes. I wlll buy it as pleasing-enough and mildly diverting - if derivative - musical goulash - Powell's very own HOOK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 It's on YT and while i wish Powell would have been allowed/encouraged to bypass his ROBOTS/HTTYD/ICE AGE/BOLT mannerisms - catchy as they are - there is an attempt like in this overture to enrich that with some more substantial romantic writing it's basically a variation on JNH's PETER PAN with less mickey-mousing and more show-offy action pieces.Given its light nature - it's less kitchen sink than usual for Powell - it is easy to like, though.

KK 3,307 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 A couple of cues in, I'm a bit disappointed by how familiar all of it is really. But there's this one idea I'm really digging and it appears at 1:15 in the overture, with special mention to the passage at 1:30-ish.I'll write more once I've finished the whole thing.

Richard Penna 3,675 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The only cue I'm 'digging' is 'Floating - Neverland Ahoy!', part of which was in one of the samples.I'm not hooked on what I assume is Powell's main theme (which I've realised has a hymnal quality to it). I have yet to properly listen to the action material however - there could be some highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I agree with most of it, though I liked it more than it seems you did. The scores flies for me (even if at medium altitude).About the two cast songs: I also noticed that "Co-produced by Dario Marianelli" in the booklet, and I think it could mean that both songs were originally there when Marinelli was still involved in the project and he probably even arranged them. Then Powell came in and recorded them (hence why he also got a "co-produced" credit on the song). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,988 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 As I said in that article, it's not that any of the ingredients is bad. It just doesn't quite gel for me as an album. But that has probably more to do with the film than anything else. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I think that's the only real problem the score has. Apart from the overture and some moments here and there, it feels more like a step backwards for Powell instead of what HTTYD2 seemed to be in terms of pushing the composer forward.It's like he threw all his past tricks together. Which mind you, doesn't make for a bad score, but for a 2015 Powell it's kinda worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodBoal 7,538 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 The thing is, we don't know yet how much time he had to compose the score. Maybe a lot of the score's shortcomings can be attributed to a lack of time.Not everyone can pull a JNH when doing a replacement score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
