    Naturally, the promo score is required for a good listening expierence. Besides the official release with 2 cues, there's also one available with 3 cues, but more difficult to find.

    I know a lot of prejudiced people who don't like romantic comedies a lot, which is fine with me. But those who also have something against their scores (or those with low expectations of every rom-com score), might really be surprised by Armstrong efforts. If that doesn't convince you, I would like to mention that the same thing happened to Bregt.

    It... is? shocked Well, available is probably not the word I would have used in the first place...?

    Please don't say Shrek with muscles Martijn, you are too knowledgable for that, I really didn't expect You to come out with the ignorant kind of crap that a few film critics did the first time Hulk appeared on the big screen ( I wonder if some will say the same again...I won't bet on it? rolleyes ). The first thing I thought when I saw Shrek for the first time was 'Hulk rip off'!


    Not my point: what I meant was a clearly fully CGI-created character (far more cartoonish than lifelike) in the same vein that Shrek was.
    Except this particular Shrek (big green CGI character) had muscles rippling all over (which beats earwax in my book, but hey, that's a personal preference).

    What I saw in the trailer was exactly that again, a big, green, obviously CGI-created character. I am perfectly happy with that in a cartoon, but not in a live action film where it's supposedly a humanoid.
    So I stick with my qualification (for now).


    Fair enough Martijn, I see where your coming from now.

    A friend of mie said it would have been better for all the film ( Hulk ) to have been CGI? He may have a point.

    i've seen on amazon that there will be 2 disk soundtrack with only music from Craig Armstrong for the Incredible Hulk. Does anybody know if this is correct, because a double score cd seems to be much! The soundclips sound great, not really the typical Armstrong sound, what I can hear on these 30 sec clips

    Sorry to make a personal call here Ralph, but how beautiful or sad could the love in your life be if LOVE ACTUALLY sums it up? wink

    I speak in jest, but seriously, this movie's about as deep as a fishbowl.

  15. CraigArmstrongOnline.com is reporting Armstrong has scored "The Day After Peace".

    Well, what do you expect me to answer?

    There are at least four or five scenes from the movie that I can personally connect so much with...

    The Keira story... well... there was a point in my life where I was in the exact same dilemma as the video guy. Say about the "deepness" of that movie what you willl - just watching that scene where Keira realizes the truth and he just runs away from it... hurts. Badly.

    The rush of adrenaline the boy must have felt during his "home run" reminds me a lot about another certain situation in my life.

    And there are other things I really do not want to talk about but where I know that the movie hit them on the spot.

    Maybe people feel very different about love. Of course there is more to the topic than this mostly light-hearted entertainment film has to tell. But I can´t remember saying that the movie sums it all up. It is a story about the different aspects of love, and that is done rather well, I think.

    What do people think?
  19. I feel empty when listening to it. It just sound slike a lot of by-the-numbers current Hollywood action scoring, nothing I need to own.

    When Armstrong does somewhat big scores, there is, however, always one cue that's a keeper and that cue always contains chorus. I wonder which one that will be this time.

    Sounds 'empty' indeed. Very generic and thousand-heard. Hope the actual score is not like the clips are emitting.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Elfman has had a big mouth before about composers who should stick to the themes of a franchise, and how Goldenthal went wrong in not using his themes. If he's an honest dude, he uses Marco Beltrami's themes. And that, I'd like to hear.

    Hmmm? Well, as has been pointed out earlier, he may not be allowed to use them? We shall see( hear ).

    Sounds like a bit of the old ''trademark Armstrong'' and a different Armstrong. This was also evident in The Golden Age, which took me a bit longer to appreciate fully.
  27. I am also taking a while to appreciate THE GOLDEN AGE. wink

    I think I read over on the FSM messageboard that the director didn't want to use any of Beltrami's themes in Hellboy 2?

  29. From listening to those clips there seems to be a lot of moody stuff going on - and the clip for "Hulk Theme"? Sounds like they've got the clips playing backwards!

    But some of the action stuff sounds as though it could be quite good - cues such as "Favela Escape" & "Give Him Everything You've Got" are cues I'm looking forward to hearing in full.

    Haha, it does. Just ran it through Audacity though, and it sounds even worse played in reverse.

    I've never been much of a fan of Armstrong, his stuff has always seemed too over the top for me. His recent score to Elizabeth is a glaring example. I'm still kind of looking forward to this score, but I'm definitely not getting any hopes up.
