NP: The Empire Strikes Back - John Williams
Listening to "Rescue From Cloud City / Hyperspace" at the moment and I can't believe how long it has been since I have listened to this! It is easy to forget about the classics when knee-deep in today's (mostly) lacking scores. And being so used to the original release of this the added bits for this 9-minute track are again a surprise!!
This is how it should be done.
Meh. I've given that track 2 stars in itunes.

John Williams - War Horse
I love this score, actually. I see it shortcomings, but it became one of my most-listened John Williams albums. Great themes, great action music (No Man's Land is pure brilliance for me), great thematic usage. In the movie the music goes from brilliant to serviceable to brilliant again at the end.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

John Williams - Far and Away
After listening to War Horse and ET earlier, now I am spinning this on my John Williams listening day, which happens less often than I'd want to. And this is a great adventure score.
I should pull out my Star Wars CDs. I don't mind at all the 2 CD releases, even with the quality.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Finally got through all the Star wars scores. Judging by how many tracks I've rated at least 3 stars (i.e. like), The empire strikes back is the winner followed by The phantom menace.
IV: 6
V: 9
VI: 6
I: 8
II: 4
III: 5
I might not be a huge fan of the entire scores, but this playlist with all the 38 tracks that I like, is a fantastic listen!

TRANSFORMERS PRIME | brian tyler
This is the first Brian Tyler in a long time that I enjoy from start to finish. What a fantastic main theme, blaring the speakers out of their case, bombastic in every sense, but driving and propelling the score forward. Add some really good action music, swirling and nervous strings and some Tyler trademark percussion. Obviously there's a bit too much of it, but boy, I do enjoy this one!

I haven't heard THE HUNGER GAMES so I can't comment on the score but Yonathan, this was a very patronising remark, everyone is entitled to an opinion and you are entitled not to like an opinion but there's no need to suggest that people aren't "open minded" just because you like a score and others don't.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

No, I think its quite accurate to characterize opinions that automatically refuse to accept alternate, modern scoring styles for adventure films (as opposed to the traditional melodic bombast) as close-minded. Ever since Batman Begins (which is where Howard seems to have started going down this road) certain members have been harsh towards these kinds of scores by Howard, Desplat, etc, criticizing the composers and their scores for adventure films, for no other reason than that they're not melodic and bombastic (or whatever other word that is used to refer to the same "traditional" adventure film sound). That IS close-minded. Open-minded would be admitting that people who enjoy and find good in these scores has a valid point, even if you don't agree with it. Open-minded would be leveling specific, tangible complaints towards scores you don't like, rather than saying "bored and drafty" just because you don't understand what the composer and director were trying to accomplish.
It's fine to not enjoy the score. I'm not talking about that, and neither I think was yony. What I'm talking about is I don't enjoy coming here every day and having "Harry Potter 7.1 is the opposite of good!" shoved in front of my face. If you don't agree with the composer's choices and don't enjoy listening to the score, fine. But forcing everyone to read that every day is not an open-minded way to behave.
You don't have to take "not open-minded" as an insult, however. In some things it can be quite wise to be close-minded. Why is everyone so defensive about being characterized as "not open-minded"?
*btw, I'm not speaking of anyone in particular when I keep saying "you". I'm being annoyingly generic.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

That's fine.
But I don't think there is ANY member on this forum that AUTOMATICALLY puts out such a sweeping generalistation (not to say anything of the suggestion that the ONLY alternative to a modern scoring style (what is a "modern scoring style", by the way?) is "melodic bombast".)
This is the problem with broad strokes.
They pollute any discussion (as all one would need to do is point out one exception and the entire argument is invalid) and so very seldomly render something constructive.'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn
