thestat 359 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Heavy metal music video......JFC. Not at all. Have you seen one, ever? The JXL stuff works well with the fury theme which continues to be impressive, but the rest - Brothers in Arms - yeah, not bad as a post-RCP cue, but pretty bad as any other cue by most standards I do love JXL's Alita and Mortal Engines but I suspect some of the exciting orchestral stuff is by De Lillo who will be co-composing on Kong. Junk's got some real talent - I love The Dark Tower theme, Tomb Raider has good stuff, the Cameron/Rodriguez combination clearly did not let him do 'techno'. Who knows. His studio had that controversy about overworking which is funny for a composer who's work is not that complicated. Anyhoos. Jesus - relistening to Brothers in Arms, despite its dodgy production values, totally get it now - the duality with barbarity of the world and the expansive heroism.....or do I?

I don't see really get the instant CGI complains though. Especially with this new trailer, which has much more non-action stuff than the first one - and thus makes it seem that this film will be more plot heavy than Fury Road, which had the most minimalist plot possible - not that it needed more. It also had plenty of CGI, and if the new one has more, I don't mind it as long as it looks decent (and don't judge it by an over-compressed YouTube video of probably unfinished trailer effects) and the action choreography remains grounded and comprehensible - one major issue with CGI looking fake or being uninvolving isn't that it can't look real, but that it tends to be used to stage scenes that feel unrealistic even in the context of the film (one of the wonderful things about Tintin is that Spielberg clearly approached it like a "real" film and used the CGI to shoot action in a way that looks like it could be done with real cameras, but would be impossible to pull off).

Edmilson 7,657 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I listened to the track above and also some tracks from Godzilla x Kong on YouTube and eh... Holkenborg's style is not for me. But I did like the synth parts of GxK, made me wish the score was entirely electronic. He should pursue other kinds of genres besides just action movies that require his trademark brass BWAAAAAAMS and drums. Three Thousand Years of Longing was a step in the right direction.

The heavy metal music video car chase aesthetic of the first was brilliantly mirrored in Holkenborg's no-nonsense approach, as were the slow and majestic pieces. One of the very best scores that year, without question. Can't wait to see FURIOSA in a couple of weeks (and hear the score)!

thestat 359 Posted Tuesday at 10:44 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:44 PM Thor - what made Junk's approach to Fury Road no-nonsense? It is very excessive and overflowing. Perhaps the main riff, which I agree is perfect for Mad Max. And very Brian May. I mean, I like the Junk - still think Battle Angel Alita is massive underrated - but nothing he does is no-nonsense. It's over-sense if anything: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Ren 805 Posted Wednesday at 12:16 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:16 PM I think he can be great when he's allowed. His scores for Alita and Mortal Engines, as well as some parts of the Rebel Moon scores are a testament to that. But I also feel than for a movie like Mad Max, his usual style works brilliantly, and I don't know if a different type of score would have worked in there. And I suppose Furiosa will have a similar sound, but I hope there's room to hear more pieces in the same style as Many Mothers! Stark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNHFan2000 2,997 Posted Friday at 10:42 AM Share Posted Friday at 10:42 AM Furiosa's score is a let down when you put it next to Fury Road. I know it's a different film, but it's mostly atmospheric meandering which never really goes anywhere. The action music, when it comes, is also not strong enough and feels very incohesive. I'll be interested to hear how the music works in context to the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's merely a shadow compared to the excellent FURY ROAD (although I did like the more mournful tracks in the style of "Many Mothers"). Seeing the film on Tuesday, curious to hear how it works in-context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,657 Posted Saturday at 07:57 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:57 PM Judging from the reviews I've read, looks like Furiosa will enjoy a less unanimously positive reception than Fury Road. Weirdly, that made me more curious to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
