  1. I think Broxton's new review mentions -- without rechecking it -- Horner referencing at least six or seven scores, not counting the "Titanic" synth sounds, and the danger motif. This is what 18 months and 15-hour days, and million upon millions gets you.
    The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else.
  2. Yeah well I'd rather Horner get the millions than a great many other humans who get paid more for less.

    I am sure all you people kicking and trashing the score, haven't seen the movie yet. I am not crazy about it either, it's a very good score but not great, however i've seen the movie in 3D last night and i wouldn't change its score for nothing out there. Works flawlessly and elevates the already brilliant movie even more.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Yeah, I thought so (and everything else would have been too much, I think).

    What do you think of the video, Thor? Does it give too much away or not?


    No, I don't think so at all. It basically only tells us that this is "fantastic world" and that there are these two blue guys that have a relationship. I can promise you there's a lot more! smile


    Two blue guys that have a relationship? That sounds like gay Smurfs.


    Hey, have Fox stolen ideas from the screenplay I sent them?


    yes.

    Well, what do you know, Avatar's got Horner two Golden Globe nominations.

    THIS is the appropriate time to be hearing the danger motif.

    Avatar score is a chaos in the movie. More thoughts in Recent Vieweing topic tongue

    Oh, and Mr Horner, if you want to copy Zimmer, you better beggin with give credit to Nicholad Dodd as Additional music, because half of the action music from Avatar is pure David Arnold tongue

    Avatar is the most suitable score the movie could ever get. I wonder how would you react if someone changed the label from Horner to Zimmer, on the cd cover and movie credits, from the beginning ;0

    Er? I'd think a better advise would be: if you want to copy Zimmer, stop sounding like Arnold?

    AVATAR sounds as much as David Arnold as Britney Spears sounds like Stravinsky. Seriously, man.
    I am extremely serious.

    Word! I do see the Zimmer-aspect, but the action music does not really sound like Arnold at all... that's Horner (with a hint of Zimmer... wink )!
    The result, I think, is highly enjoyable! Can't stopp listening!

    Whatever it may be like on the originality front, I am playing this almost every day now. Especially War... this might easily be in my Top 5 scores of 2009 as a listening experience! cool

    Couldn't agree more. Despite the side-influences in some places, especially when viewed with the movie it accompanies, the score screams Horner from note 1 to end.

  19. There's quite a few moments in 'War' that don't sound like Arnold, but which sound like Nicholas Dodd's orchestrations on the Arnold Bond scores. (Particularly the more electronic ones, like The World is Not Enough.)

  20. Or Mansell's score to Sahara.

    A fabulous review! Thanks, Clemmensen!
    Nice to see the score getting appreciated.
    @Sunil: You're right, "Jake enters his Avatar world" does resemble bits and pieces from "Frog Darts", but in case of the first mentioned, there is a lot more going in here. This is not "only" a simple rehash of "Frog Darts"...

    Anyone who reads that in its entirety has far too much time on their hands.

    I have far too much time on my hands as it happens, I'm just too lazy to read it.

    I'm with Steven. I glanced over this review, what a bloated windbag of a review that is, put me right off reading it.
