- Comment [b]Roman J. Israel, Esq.[/b] is a terribly skippable score. 2 stars out of 5. Nothing I want to ever listen to again. [b]The Shape of Water[/b] - Alexandre Desplat A solid 3 star score, nothing special but pretty good nonetheless, maybe even his best score this year, but I have a feeling Valerian ...

- Comment [b]Paprika[/b] - Susumu Hirasawa Saw a critic at Indiewire mention this as one of the finest scores of this century so far and I don't get it. It works well in the film but aside from two catchy cues or so it is nothing special. Hirasawa's score to Millenium Actress is stronger as a whole.

- Comment The weakest film music year of the millenium continues... [b]Justice League[/b] - Danny Elfman Utterly mediocre. Elfman is now officially one of the most overrated film composers, though not as overrated as Giacchino and most of Remote Control, but after them it is Elfman. [b]Paddington 2[/b] - ...

- Comment [b]Dunkirk[/b] - Hans Zimmer Hm, it is pretty mediocre save for a few bright spots. Is this the weakest Zimmer/Nolan score to date? I think it is. It is 2.5 stars for me. My ranking of the Nolan/Zimmer collaboration from strongest to weakest score: 1. Inception 2. Interstellar 3. The Dark Knight ...

- Comment [b]Warcraft[/b] - Ramin Djawadi Mediocre, but it has at least one good highlight cue that ranks among the best things he has ever done. Honor is the best cue in here. That one and the Main Title will be the only two tracks I am keeping from this one.

- Comment [b]Brimstone[/b] - Junkie XL Yeah, this is dull as dishwater - mostly generic ambience and generic Barberian string writing that is pretending to be great when it is the opposite of that, urgh so jarring, cheesy and tasteless. The most cheesy thing I have heard since Michael Giacchino's Rogue One ...

- Comment [quote][b]Bregt wrote[/b]Hmm. It failed for me. Not so interesting as a standalone listen, but I'm sure it pushes all the right buttons in the movie that seems to be the big Oscar candidate. It's very light but also very anonymous. I mean, the piano melody could come from a romantic comedy. Only ...

- Comment [b]Hidden Figures [/b] - Hans Zimmer, Benjamin Wallfisch and Pharrell Williams It is pretty good. It barely earns 3 stars. Annoying wordless choir though, but still pretty cool at times. This is mainly a Wallfisch score, Zimmer did not do much in here which is why he removed his name from the ...

Far from being one of the best Harry Potter scores but also not the weakest. I connected with Desplat's two scores more ...

- Comment [b]Alice Though the Looking Glass[/b] - Danny Elfman First listen. It is pretty nice (and far better than the annoying, bland and forgettable Goosebumps score). It may be more ambitious than the first Alice score too, but it is not as distinctive as the first and too much of it comes off as by the ...

- Comment [b]Eddie the Eagle[/b] - Matthew Margeson One of the best scores of the year thus far (top 20 at least) but by no means a masterpiece or anything like that. Just a very good 80's throwback score. Its greatest weakness is probably that it feels so derivative of a number of scores/works from the ...
