    Terrible.


    Like his entire output post 2000 and with few exceptions?
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Typically stacked with solid action cues. The filler material is mediocre. The first of the good bits, 'Logan's Run', is possibly the best of the lot with its unusual rhythmic, percussive orchestrations.


    I don't think that Beltrami, with the exception of Angel Eyes and the gorgeous I AM DINA, has a particular gift for melody. Now, action cues though, are his real forte. However, he rarely comes along as inspired as he was in the past anymore.

    They've turned it into a film now and the good news is that Zimmer and Balfe are back to adapt their appalling music. Wonder if they'll send me a promo this time.


    Seriously, they're making a film out of this atrocity? Or are you joking?

  5. Yeah, a Christ biography.

    Yes (and I'd throw pre 2000 in as well, but perhaps that's too cruel).

    He's mostly generic and auto-pilotish. I never figured out what his style (if any) really is. And Superman Returns was one of the biggest disappointments i had with major scores.

    Southall and Demetris have gone back to Weirdtardedland again.

    JACK THE FUCKING GIANT SLAYER proves you both wrong concerning Ottman.

    Jack The Giant Slayer was one of last years best scores IMO.

    I found it both boring and grating.

    The only Ottman I've truly liked is his first one -- THE USUAL SUSPECTS.
    I am extremely serious.

  19. Jack the GIant Slayer had some great cues and not so great cues for me. I am not a huge John Ottman fan myself, to be honest.

    And what are those few exceptions. He's had some misfires for sure but I'd say he's had a pretty solid track record post-2000.

  21. The gorgeous was the best thing about Superman Returns. The film wasn't that bad either. Only stubborn I-hate-all-prequels-and-sequels-that-deal-with-anything-I-liked-in-my-not-overcome-childhood-people can say otherwise.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    I thought Superman Returns was actually quite good (the score, not the film) but generally I don't think that orchestral thing is a strength of Ottman at all. Much better when he's smaller-scale, "groovy" for want of a better word.

  23. Well, I am no Ottman expert at all but I have a nagging suspicion that people "want" his orchestral music to be mediocre at best because they regard him as an amateur composer. Maybe I'm wrong.

    I think he writes some dynamite orchestral music. The issue I have with him at times is that his scores are pretty scatterbrained. A lack of cohesion. Supeman Returns is one of those all-over-the-bloody-place scores.

  25. Yeah. Even Jack the Giant Slayer had that issue. His music desperately needs some longer lines to it, but he does have great technique. I wonder sometimes if perhaps he isn't a better orchestrator than he is a composer.

    I didn't care much for SUPERMAN RETURNS, but I loved Ottman's major-mode rendition of "Can You Read My Mind", by far the best thing about that score.

    That's odd. The generic orchestration is one of the things that makes his music have little interest to me.

    I don't think his orchestrations are generic. I think he comes up with some interesting ideas. I just don't think he knows how to clearly communicate those ideas sometimes or how to use them.
