Stark 312 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 This theme is decent but I don’t expect anything unique out of this score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Who 919 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I haven't listened to this yet but after Black Widow I don't have high hopes. I like the end credits cue and the unused theme suite cues with the Russian choir and singing but the rest of the score is so dull. It's weird that he wrote some rather good themes for the score but then failed in the rest of the assignment. Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that maybe is because he spent most of his time working on the themes then let his team use the material he wrote when doing most of the score as heard in the movie? It may explain the rather bizarre OST. About Black Adam, this made me lol: Brando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestat 348 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Wow, how far are DC going to go with this processed RCP nonsense before they realise what they are doing.

HunterTech 993 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Spoiler Is it actually in the movie? The clip I saw had too loud of an audience to tell, and what we know of the song credits doesn't list anything about another composer's theme being used.

Edmilson 7,436 Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 If Superman is really in this movie, I think LB will probably quote Zimmer's Man of Steel theme, and maybe Wallfisch's Shazam theme too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Reports are conflicting but the forming consensus seems to be that Spoiler when Supes appears it's the first few notes of the Williams theme, some saying it sounds like it's reprised in a Zimmer style, and then when it goes to the credits it plays "Arcade" from Man of Steel.

Stark 312 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 The two themes are honestly solid, but there’s very little in this near-2-hour OST that isn’t just a reprise of one or the other theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Who 919 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I don’t get the appeal of Balfe. He seems like a really nice chap but he has no style of composing. There’s nothing where you go “ah that’s balfe” because it’s all mostly just third rate versions of other composers. I heard a rom com score by him a few weeks ago and it was so empty and just reminded me of Thomas Newman, JNH and HZ’s romantic comedy scores which are great. It’s really strange. The only Balfe I think is decent is MI6 which is not great but at least worked very well on the movie and has some good cues. And even MI6 is full of copies of other scores.

Richard Penna 3,686 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I think the only Balfe I've explicitly got is an hour or so from MI6 and really the only memorable thematic material is from Schifrin's stuff. Although if IMDB is to be believed he's done additional music for almost everything Zimmer's done in the entire 00s and teens so I've definitely heard more of his stuff.

Stark 312 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 His additional music for Zimmer is easily the most accurate (in imitation of whichever style Zimmer employs for the film) of any additional music composer from RCP, but I agree Balfe doesn’t have much of a style on his own.

Knight of Ren 789 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I haven't listened to this yet but I have to say that the stuff I have enjoyed the most from Balfe is without a doubt what he did working with Zimmer, like his collaborations on Pirates of the Caribbean or Kung Fu Panda 3. When he's on his own, there's little I have really enjoyed, even if they fit well within the movie, but I have to say that I really like his Lego Batman score, because it does only fit well within the movie,bit offers a fun and entertaining score with some references here and there to other Batman scores (more stylistically rather than thematically). Also,I enjoyed parts of Ghost in the Shell (i'm a sucker for those synths!) and the main theme from Silent Night and its variations, which you can listen below. But yeah, I agree that he doesn't really have a style of his own which makes it a bit harder to enjoy his work JNHFan2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Stumbled upon the main theme by chance, and it's quite catchy! It's got an industrial jazzy quality that I really dig. Really fun stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
