On the contrary, while she was good the cast was much too star-studded for her to be a star. Kenneth Branagh, Josh Gad, Michele Pfeiffer, and Willem Dafoe had good roles. I didn't like some Narnia bits, but I don't hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,044 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 There's plenty of film score stuff I don't like, but "hate" is indeed a strong word. I will say that I can only take very small doses of both CutThroat Island and Family Plot, even though the former was beautifully recorded/performed and the latter is filled with Williams ingenuity. Most of the time I get annoyed and stop listening. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to assume that's sarcasm, but if not, check out his sketches for the prequels. The orchestrators didn't have to do that much beyond writing "tacet" on some parts.

It takes 8 of his ghostwriters to come up with generic RCP crap! All music that is not orchestral and modelled after a particular period of time is inferior! Star Trek Generations is an empty film devoid of any emotional impact! I can come up with most modern film music by playing random notes on a piano in three hours! This!: 😂 !

leeallen01 2,136 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Solo: A Star Wars Story. Cannot stand the generic RCP drumloop crap that Powell butchers Williams' music with. The score is 50% Williams Solo theme. 25% Williams Original Trilogy themes and 25% new Powell stuff. Even Williams theme for Han is a little too generic and meh for me.

The only claim to fame that Ariana Grande has, is that she was in a certain place, in a certain city, when a bomb exploded. Not an endorsement to be proud of.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 The Thin Red Line is a sublime experience for me, film and score. Torturous is a wildly unexpected adjective for it but there you go. I can't think of any scores I hate just plenty that are boring and unremarkable or worse, fell short of expectations. The last time I remember actively disliking music in a theater was Ant Man. And Rogue One. But I wouldn't say hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
