Thor 7,529 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Just came back from the movie. It was OK, but IMO the weakest of the new POTA films so far. The score was dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I watched this on Tuesday. Clearly this Reeves guy has some talent, but the movie was quite disappointing, especially since it's being hyped as the greatest thing since sliced bread. In the end, it's just more of your usual blockbuster fare but slowed down and more dressed up. Oh, and the score really loses its steam by the first half hour.

KK 3,307 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 The opening setpiece was probably the best part of the movie. Everything after that was pretty meh. CGI was great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,136 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 People today are just allergic to quality. The box office is showing that in spades. They complain and try to find ways to insult a fantastic film and score. Almost everyone on here that has insulted this score has passionately expressed their dislike for Giacchino before. It's merely stubbornness. They're too embarrassed to admit how great this score is and how well it works in the film, because it will damage their Giacchino hater image. Today is filled with too many boringly negative people. Give them a subject to discuss, and they immediately find a way to insult it, instead of finding a way to compliment it. Sad sad people.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 It's like watching a girl who's really wasted and should just go home just walk from room to room at the house party embarrassing herself. Except in this situation she probably won't even have the decency to feel shame when she wakes up the next afternoon.

Jay 37,378 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Ha! I went out to get the mail this afternoon, and this CD was in my mailbox! I totally forgot we didn't have it yet; It's been on spotify for what, a month? I don't even know if the film is playing near me any more. I wonder if this will go OOP soonish like like John Carter and Tomorrowland OSTs did (I know those were both on Disney Records, but still). And yea, the credit for Track 1 to Griffith Giacchino is a bit odd; First that its a pretty big credit right on the back of the CD, and not something left for inside the booklet. But also because its a huge, 11 minute track, that kind of sets up the whole score. It's a bit odd to me out of all the cues to pass off to a co-composer, he went with that one. Of course, since its his own son, its completely possible they collaborated on it, or he guided Griffith heavily, but still gave him full credit, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,796 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 It's just like when any of your parents make a school project for you... There is no way the teacher is going to believe you did it alone Though i must say, i did some of those projects all by my own...and some teachers asked if i had been helped... So maybe Griffith is the next Michael!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 More people have seen WFTPOTA, which has outgrossed Baby Driver by 20 million. It's their respective budgets that makes the latter a hit and the former a bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Kind of bonkers that we have yet to see any major non-Star-Trek Giacchino expansions from the labels. Wonder if it's because he started film so recently. Is 15 years still the point where royalties drop to the point of feasibility on scores? If so, we may be seeing those earlier Giacchino scores fairly soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I wasn't counting that one because it was more of a premiere release, but you're right - it looks complete, so it counts! Also reminds me that I still need to pick that one up. Maybe someday somebody will expand Speed Racer, Giacchino's perfect angel. I'll likely be getting War for POTA for Christmas so I haven't heard it separately yet, but in the movie I enjoyed it more than his Dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
