[Bespin 8,480]

What is according to you, the best film score of 2011 among this list?

 

The scores of this list won an award for "Best Score", as voted by either one or more of these organizations:

• The International Film Music Critics Association Award
• The Online Film Critics Society Award
• The Los Angeles Film Critics Association

 

Let's discuss these choices made by Critics!

 

Note : That year the Oscar went to...

 

The Artist

Ludovic Bource

[JoeinAR 1,949]

War Horse by a length over Tintin (which sounds like a full album of the Knights Bus).

 

Super 8 sounds exactly like Star Trek 2009.

[Romão 2,274]

The Adventures of Tintin

[Edmilson 7,393]

War Horse by a long mile.

[Jay 37,287]

War Horse is one of Johnny's best scores and one of the best scores ever written, so that

[Bespin 8,480]

We have a courageous vote for Drive! YEAH!

[Koray Savas 2,251]

 

[Richard Penna 3,671]

I will, for once, vote for Williams: War Horse is amazing.

[Thor 7,468]

My favourite score of 2011 is JANE EYRE (Dario Marianelli) -- his best score to date, IMO.

 

Of the poll options, it's a fairly close race between DRIVE and WAR HORSE, but ultimately I'll pick WAR HORSE of those.

That's correct, sir.

[Marian Schedenig 8,173]

As wonderful and refined and perhaps "objectively better" (if there is such a thing) War Horse is - Tintin is the closest we've come to a JW pirate score, and that puts it in the top spot for me.

[mstrox 6,647]

WAR HORSE

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,429]

Tintin and War Horse are equally perfect too me

Other nice scores:

• The First Avenger
• Hugo
• Real Steel
• On Stranger Tides
• Super 8
• Rango
• Ghost Protocol
• Dark of the Moon
• The Artist
• Cars 2

[Ollie 1,059]

Super 8 followed by War Horse.

Meh, I'm not much of a fan of this one. For me, it's the weakest PotC score ever. And the OST is truly awful, with just a few suites and a lot of remixed versions of them. Thank goodness the bootlegs exist  

[Lord Zimmer 211]

Anyone not voting for Drive isn’t a real human bean. 

[Jurassic Shark 12,030]

Just like you, HanZ, just like you!

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

Pretty good lineup overall.  Only one truly bad score (Hanna).  

[TheUlyssesian 2,473]

Tintin is one of Williams' masterpieces - a score so ambitious, so overflowing with themes, at such extraordinary tempi and nimbleness, such complexity. For sheer virtuoso technical accomplishment, very scores of the past decade match it - certainly not at this scale. Williams just totally went all out for this one.

 

War Horse is absolutely amazing too - though a little bit fractured into sections.

Nah, Hanna is great. 

[Bespin 8,480]

Finally my choice went to "War Horse".

Did someone actually claim Tintin was a " masterpiece" and rate it higher than WH?!😙😗

[Bellosh 3,389]

War Horse
