I am particularly interested in how they will justify the need for so many characters working together at the same time. And I hope Silvestri handles the situation efficiently, he can not play the theme of avengers every time a hero practices a "heroic act.".

Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I'm assuming we'll get no mentions of Elfman's addendum to Silvestri's Avengers theme in Infinity War, which is a bit of a shame. igger6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,529 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Saw the film yesterday. Haven't quite decided on where I'll land in terms of evaluation. I'm a bit torn on several aspects. Score was great, in-your-face and old-school. Not sure if it holds up to 2 CDs or 80 minutes, from what I could hear, but we'll find out soon.

Thor 7,529 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Ah, thanks. I missed that. Since I got faulty 3D glasses at the press screening, I had to run out and get new ones and missed quite a bit of the first 5 minutes. Must have happened then.

Richard Penna 3,696 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Most of the bits I listened to seemed to lean very heavily on BTTF. I'd probably put this down as a disappointment, but it's way too easy to get overblown, rosy-tinted expectations for a score like this. Minority has some of the dullest 'drama' scoring I've ever heard so it was never a given that SS would request anything revolutionary for RPO.

Thor 7,529 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 There is nothing dull in MINORITY REPORT, neither the drama or action bits. Brilliant score from start to finish. But there are several semi-dull tracks on RPO that I'm going to weed out to make for a more succinct experience. Once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Is the OST really over 90 minutes? It didn't even feel like there was that much? I felt it could make a solid 50 minute album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt it could make a solid 50 minute album. It is 84 minutes but the final end credit track seems to be an edit of several cues. Not sure if there is any material in there that is exclusive to this track. So it appears to be a 76-minute album in the end. And yeah, it is probably a bit too long.

Thor 7,529 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 True, but if they referenced BTTF, GODZILLA and KING KONG, it's weird that they didn't reference THE IRON GIANT -- which has far more of a presence in the movie than those. Or AKIRA. As previously mentioned, might be a clearance issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,378 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The long BTTF sequence in "Hold On To Something" was fun But then "What Are You" and "There's Something I Need To Do" are not very compelling "Wrap-up" tracks. The "Main Title" track is nice, but comes way too late. The End Credits doesn't work for me, sometihng's weird about it. So, a bit of a mixed bag of an album. Could be one of those cases where key sequences in the film are "scored' by existing pop/rock songs, leaving holes in a score program since he didn't score the moments other cues are leading up to.
