Sixteen French horns, eight trombones, Wagner tubas, shakuhachi and chorus....I'd love to hear this live!
One of the greatest modern scores ever.
Yeah 10 years later and modern scoring has taken a turn for the worse, apart from a few exceptions."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

SLIPSTREAM - ELMER BERNSTEIN
So this is a bootleg, albeit one with extensive liner notes and professional packaging. A very well produced bootleg I must say. And some great music in there as well. This is only my first listen but I see myself returning to it a lot more. Definitely my type of score and I'm hearing a lot of Ghostbusters-like ideas, one of Elmer I really love. The collector in me is happy to have gotten it in time."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

Yeap, I'd more than likely put this in my top 10 of the 00's.

NP: Thor - Patrick Doyle
The Last Legion clearly is not! What a shame. I like the quieter cues.
Haven't heard it yet but i'd imagine: crap movie, weak score combi?
Who said it was a crap movie? It currently holds a 93% rating at Rotten Tomatoes.

Water for Elephants - James Newton Howard
Very boring.
it's so soft, it barely shifts a tone (apart from the jazz) and it has one good track, the second one (because there's some life in that one). For me this is disappointing, especially considering the trailer music is much better than the whole scorewaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh -

Come see the paradise (Edelman)
The love theme might be simplistic, but it's a great theme. Same can be said about the "Fire in a Brooklyn theatre" theme. Besides this, there's the simplistic "Kawamura family theme"; enjoyable as well. There's not much else to the score.
My rating: ****

It seems that I'm the only one from here who think this score is very good. But I know most people aren't attracted to this kind of music. -

I may in the past have expressed reservations about certain expanded releases of older scores, but I have to say this one hits the jackpot. -

I think it's hilarious that classicist Doyle channels Zimmer, but since I like Doyle, Zimmer and Remote Control, this is not bad listening. Love the bits that have the Wagnerian interval leaps with that ostinato thing going.I am extremely serious. -

Thor Kills The Destroyer and Forgive Me are some of my favorites cues from the score. There's better use of electronics and percussion than in the MV scores, and the main theme is decent. -

Goodness... I had forgotten just how good this is. Mulan's fantastic, but I wonder whether this is Goldsmith's last truly great score. -

The complete Mulan is magnificent! I'll agree there.
But my vote goes to the complete First Knight as being "Goldsmith's last truly great score".
But only just. And that's due to the thematic nature of First Knight and the absence of electronics. -

This one just came across my desk (from an anime film) and as Thor would say this is an Erik Woods soundtrack. Bold, epic, lyrical, purely symphonic! Bliss!

First knight is from 1995 and Mulan from 1998, so if you say that First knight was his last great score you're essentially saying that Mulan wasn't great. Coupled with the fact that you say that Mulan is maginificent, this is quite odd.
In any case I think Goldsmith had a couple of truly great scores in 1999, so I don't agree with any of ya.

This is probably my favorite score from Howard, simply because of the last 60 seconds of the very last track "The Hand of Fate - Part 2". -

No. It means that First Knight is ULTRA MAGNIFICENT!!!
Mulan is simply ...."magnificent".
And (like Timmer and Michael have said) I like it and enjoy it more!
Anyway, NP: El Cid - Rozsa
Surely in the "ULTRA MAGNIFICENT" category! -

You're all wrong. Goldsmith's last great score was Hollow Man!!!!!!!!!!!
N.P. Hollow Man - Jerry Goldsmith
Apparently this is regarded as the composer's last great score. The slinky Basic Instinct-like feel of the main theme, the bursts of measured but strident action music, it all adds up to something truly brilliant. Love it.
Earlier finished the fairly dull Source Code by Chris Bacon. Saw the film last night too and the main title and emotional theme at the end are certainly the best bits. Most of the stuff in between works well enough in the film but it definitely bears the mark of JNH - and fairly generic JNH to say the least, in Interpreter or A Perfect Murder mode for example. -

Never liked HOLLOW MAN much, to be honest. A bit too autopilot Goldsmith suspense with some BASIC INSTINCT licks blended in.
Also, I don't really understand that comparison between FIRST KNIGHT and MULAN, two scores that are very different in tone.
In terms of personal preference, I like FIRST KNIGHT a lot (especially the original album), but also admit to liking MULAN more - especially because of the songs, which are very good. I frequently find myself humming the "Let's get down to business....and de-FEAT the Huuuuuuns..." line in one of them.I am extremely serious.
