    Agreed! But I clearly remember Demetris not liking Rambo... he liked a few portions but I never thought he would include it on a list of good Tyler scores written this year.


    I fail to see what the problem is. You've clearly pointed out that D said he didn't like it when it first came out, but he's clearly changed his opinion.

    I can't follow the praise. sad

    I feel bad, because I liked his music. Now it's just so loud that I can't read anymore after I heard one of his recent scores, in that way I can't remember a track name, so I'm completely lost. cry

    I did like Rambo, though I see that it's derivative and there are tracks where musically nothing is really going on.

    Just interesting to see the change in opinion. It's always interesting to see people pulling a Jordi. Anyway, it just caught me off guard that's all. Nothing personal.

    But if you start throwing away cues is it really a "good" score or just a good handful of cues amongst a bunch of crap?

  7. Well, depends on the point of view, what you have to cut off is most of the underscore (which works very well in the movie), the emotional and action stuff is rather good. Some of the underscore is simply too much, especially one particular 7 minute cue. I rate it as 3, if the album was like 40 minutes long, I'd give it a weak 4. It's not a particularly GOOD score, it's just a cool score which works very well in the film.

    Not even Eagle Eye which really wants to be a big, bolder, more orchestral version of Batman Begins... especially in that last action cue. It's not a bad idea but again with Tyler we get more temp love. However, I could be TOTALLY wrong. wink

    I´ll give you that:

    "Potus 111": 2:05 to 2:15

    That´s the only similarity I´ve found with Batman Begins though.

    While I won't disagree with you there, how does that make the whole of the score want to be Batman Begins, Erik?

    It doesn't sound like Batman Begins to me at all confused I'd say that the slower, dramatic chord processions (also like the similar ones in RAMBO, PARTITION and so on) have a lot to bear from the fundamental way Zimmer approaches(d) his correspondingly similar scenes 5-6 years ago and before that but it's nowhere near BB, imo.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  20. No, I think it's not a Batman Begins wannabe, really. Maybe something was inspired by BB (quick string usage methodology), but the ostinati and chords make it a different beast, totally.

    It tries to be Zimmer meets Horner at times - Tyler takes some Horner's rhythmic ideas - a snare figure, cymbals writing.

    What stuff, exactly? wink

    Me, like Timmer, I'm starting to go off Tyler a bit.
    I'll give Alien vs. Predator: Requiem another spin, but all in all, I only really liked three of his scores: the raw, nerve-chafing power of Tokyo Drift, the dark quirkiness of Bubba Ho-Tep and the inspiring symphonic Children Of Dune.
    All the rest seems to be retreading mostly the first or the last of those efforts.

    Didn't say the whole score... my wording was poor in my initional post where I just wanted to point out the one action cue that is obviously "inspired" by Batman Begins. I haven't paid much attention to the rest because like Martijn said it's "eminently forgettable."

    What about Timeline? As far as I'm concerned, it's what put Tyler on the map. When you're asked to fill shoes as legendary as Goldsmith's and still pull out something so utterly exciting, driving, heroic and romantic, I think that's one major feather in your cap. And probably Tyler's most thematic work yet. To tell the truth: I'm ever so glad both scores were released, but I can't even decide which one I like best!

    But I still agree that as long as Tyler keeps being handed action flicks, he risks becoming derivative. There's only so many ways he can present us with his driving action style, especially with 70+ minutes of it on each album. Mind you, I think it's good, but after a while it'll start becoming merely: more of the same good stuff. Still good, but nothing new. That's why scores like Partition excite me to no end: it's woah-different!

    To be honest, I liked neither score much, and for the life of me I can't see why Tyler's score was prefered over Goldsmith's...or the other way around for that matter! In my opinion it's two rather non-descript scores for a pretty poor movie.
