TSMefford 1,509 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Wow. First the dismal direction choice of Adam Wingard (whose last film was the absolute garbage adaptation of Death Note) and now the score is being done by Junkie XL? No offense, I mean, I liked Junkie's Alita score and haven't heard Sonic yet, but we're following up Desplat and McCreary with Junkie XL? Can Hollywood not even manage to do a trilogy for an existing franchise properly anymore? I mean Star Wars went down hill, Fantastic Beasts (another WB property, also admittedly supposed to be more than a trilogy) also took a significant drop in quality after one movie, and now they can't even get stellar talent behind a Godzilla movie? Can...can we reboot Hollywood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Yeah why him? I've seen his VHS and Blair Witch movies and they're fucking awful. I mean they hired a found footage genre director for a tentpole like this? The guy looks like a stoner too. gkgyver and TSMefford 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giftheck 916 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 You won't see dunking from me on this decision, especially since I did write Bear McCreary off before hearing the thing and I swiftly changed my mind once I had heard it. I'll reserve judgment until I hear the thing. I do hope it's not bangs and bashes like his Terminator score was, but I also hope we get some of the Ifukube theme in there too. Doesn't need to be used tons, but I'd say the usage in KOTM is a good benchmark for how much to use. TSMefford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to dislike it, but I certainly don't tend to have a good track record with the Director and only lukewarm reactions to Junkie XL. So...we'll see. Honestly sometimes having low expectations in my case can elevate the final product more than if I had average expectations going in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,645 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 The difference is Bear McCreary showed promise in his earlier work. When I hear something very orchestral like Sonic from Junk boy, it sounds like he has no experience with the sound of an orchestra whatsoever.

Whatever these people are, they only sprouted when Godzilla II dared to be fun instead of painfully pretentious. Even 1998 was more fun than the 2014 exercise in aggravation. And Final Wars sucks.

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Finally watched KOM. Must admit I enjoyed much of it, even though In some ways it was as idiotic and poorly made as SKULL ISLAND. It's kind of like THE LOST WORLD was to JURASSIC PARK: a film that gives the audience what it wants- lots of giant monsters! However it did have some nice touches, like the ancient underwater city, that raises it up from just a money grabbing sequel.

Did he compose those choral pieces or were they preexisting cues like the Ligeti in 2014? ( I didn't stay for the credits 😁) TSMefford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the terrible environment of today's film scoring that makes it more than averagely intelligent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
