    Welcome, Enry! Great to see an Italian here. For all the great film music coming out of Italy, I'm surprised there are so few Italian people on film music messageboards.

    Sadly, I don't share your enthusiasm for Desplat, but I know there are several here who do -- so you're in good company! smile
    I am extremely serious.

    Thanks for your welcome!
    Strangely I don't love so much the Italian music, and no, I don't listen Ennio Morricone.
    I think that a very important composer that could grow up very well is the "newcomer" Dario Marianelli: his score are always original and fresh enough.

    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  5. Yeah, welcome, friend! Don't worry a second about your English. Great to have you with us! beer
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    Anybody know anything about Familion? Apparently they're the group that composed the final song on Desplat's Argo soundtrack. I have that little tune stuck in my head and would love to hear more by them but I can't find anything...

    A very timely review of the final Harry Potter score, just 20 months after the film came out:

    I like most of the review but...

    The spectacular finale, “Showdown” and “Voldemort’s End”, sees Desplat parading all of his major thematic material for a spectacular seven-minute action extravaganza, full of not just spectacle but also emotion"


    shocked Do you have a different version of the score than I do? On my version, those tracks are a droning fizzle of an anti-climax.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    Meh. I wish Andrew Lockington had scored the last two Potter films. wink

    Although actually this one is really quite good and probably my favorite Desplat score. And even so it stops at four stars for me. Oh well. *shrug*

    For me there are two groups concerning the Potter scores. There's Williams' and Doyle's effort, which are nothing short of spectacular and then there is everything else. Oh ya, there's another group as well... The video games scores that put Desplat and Hooper's efforts to shame.

    Do you include the earlier Jeremy Soule scores in that latter group as well? Because they're decent, but certainly not a patch on the excellent James Hannigan efforts that followed.

    I agree with your groups theory with regards to the film scores, except that I'd put Deathly Hallows Part 2 on its own ground about halfway between them.

    Odd choice given his scores don't have a fraction of the personality and depth of Desplat's music.

    Also, I agree with Southall's review. Hit the nail on the head.

    They've got about five times as much fun though. punk

    Perhaps, but 'fun' wouldn't exactly have been the right way to score the last Potter films. I think Desplat reflected the tone of the films perfectly. If I was to choose one word to describe Desplat's scores, and I will, it's dramatic.

    Mind you, the moral of the story seems to be that I should try to hear some of the Harry Potter video game scores.

    Yeah, I mostly agree. 'Twas only a half-serious suggestion anyway (not that I don't think Lockington could pull it off; it would be nice to hear him on something that isn't a kiddie adventure fantasy movie for a change).

    Because of course, Harry Potter is a serious adult film series full of sex, violence, and cynical moral relativism...

    I haven't heard every single harry potter game score, but what I heard contained far more magical music than the hooper scores (can't comment yet on the Desplat ones because I want to see the films first)
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh
