That is something which not even Morricone could claim about his music. Indeed, Morricone has written a lot of bad shit, and of course a few very good scores.

Popular Post King Mark 3,626 Posted November 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2017 Also it could be that the score is MIXED very badly so that's why it was not standing out. It's been true of most JW scores in the past 20 years I think that Williams style of music, when mixed too low, doesn't do it any favors TheUlyssesian, Obi and Will 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for that reason HP1 is one of Williams best scores to listen to "in film" and the film is so much better for that. Pieter Boelen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like some of Morricone's famous efforts, like The Untouchables, The Mission, the dollars trilogy and Once Upon a Time in the West. A while ago I wanted to go more in depth in his film music so I checked out many of his soundtracks on Spotify, both obscure ones and more familiar ones. Unfortunately, I found many of them unsatisfying from a purely musical standpoint. They may still work well in the movies though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,304 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 They both sound like pizza toppings. Well with any luck the film is actually overscored and extroverted, which is why that reviewer considered it "atrocious." A quiet Americana score in the vein of Lincoln would never be described as "atrocious", even by an ignoramus. Will and Arpy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KK 3,307 Posted November 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2017 I'm sure the audience sat quietly and waited impatiently in silence until Williams' name popped up to roar in applause. crumbs, Jurassic Shark and Disco Stu 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,304 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I don't think it's that hard to believe that the audience might have given a little round of applause when his name popped up. It sounds like the score might have a few crowdpleasing, celebratory James Horner-isms. Which probably contribute to the comments about the film being a bit on the nose, but in a good way.
