Hoosiers Jerry Goldsmith
I like it, so there!
No bad words from me about one of my least favourite JG scores today
I re listened it a few weeks ago (In fact the week I met Bregt in Barcelona).
The main theme is addictive, and "the Final game" has terrific orchestral moments. But again the synthetiser ruins the whole score. Ok, it was the 80's so we can blame Goldsmith, but still is dated.
Anyway, I think it's a very repetitive score. So....Give me Rudy anytime.

Still trying to get into this. The orchestration certainly has depth and colors, and the approach is very adventurous and fun, but it's so mickey mousey most the time that I'm almost turned off by it.
I'm very tempted to compare it to Giacchino's effort for Speed Racer, but then it become so obvious that the SR score is so much better.
I think that the Astroboy score suffers for a lack of a strong identity. Much like Debney, Ottman doesn't have a strong voice to help bolster the score's identity, so the whole things seems to be just there, churning through the motions. That said, I think it's a much better score in the movie and should really remain there. -

Take it however you want it, Brian hasn't done a Sci-Fi Animation score before and it'd be interesting to hear him take a stab at it. -

A rather neglected score in my collection. I guess it lacks a 'hook' (not the score); a memorable theme that pulls you back for repeated listens. A shame really, since this is an excellent score with some precursors to Battle of the Heroes.
I don't really listen to it very much myself, but that's not for lack of a hook - that main theme is absolute dynamite! Don't really know why I don't listen often - because there's some great music. -

At least a dozen.
Anyway, when Tyler was given and oppourtunity to write something in a similar style - Dragonball - he stole his main theme from Danny Elfman's Batman and just rehashed the same ordinary action music style he has been using for years. I don't see why Astro Boy would finally be that ONE SCORE that would break Tyler out of his creative funk!

NP: Metropolis - Gottfried Huppertz
A wonderful score succinctly summarised by Wikipedia:
"...Huppertz composed a leitmotific orchestral score which included many elements from the music of Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss, plus some mild modernism for the city of the workers and the use of the popular Dies Irae for some apocalyptic imagery..."The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

For the most part, DB is a fantasy martial art flick, with a poor script and horrible execution of everything. The score wasn't even good and I will never agree with your point that he stole the Batman theme. The notes just don't ever line up to compare.
Regardless, the point is that I would like to see him do other genres, like this Computer-Animated-Sci-Fi-Anime-Adaptation called AstroBoy, and see what the result is, even if it turns out like Tokyo Drift and works for movie. Inversely, I don't know why I would have expected AstroBoy to be that score that would convert me into liking John Ottman.
On a related, albeit off topic, note, checkout how one guy used Tyler's Tokyo Drift score in his EPIC Anime mashup of DOA and Final Fantasy characters.
