- Comment [quote][b]Thor wrote[/b] That's actually a genre I love -- high budget "B movies" with loads of fun setpieces. Stephen Sommers excelled at this, with films like DEEP RISING or THE MUMMY. Or Harlin's DEEP BLUE SEA. This is in the same territory, and executed on the same level. It's a film ...

- Comment I watched it on a plane, which is exactly the right setting for a piece of schlock like that. All I wanted was Jason Statham punching a giant shark and it only sporadically managed to deliver even that.

- Comment Apparently Hans Zimmer prepared a second CD for [b]Dark Phoenix[/b] that contained many suites and ideas from the conceptual phase of the score. Due to the film's poor performance, it looks unlikely that that CD will be released, but there's a petition going around to demonstrate the public's ...

- Comment But the rating is always either a high 2 or low 3, on every score on that site. [b]The Lion King[/b] also has a 2. It's a pretty bad [i]argumentum ad populum[/i] (or should that be unpopulum?)

- Comment [quote][b]Thor wrote[/b] Well, you have to remember that when it comes to 90s scores and earlier, I'm usually in line with all the other lovers of big symphonic action scores here. It's contemporary, post-2000 scores in the same idiom I tend to have issues with (for the most part; there are ...

- Comment I haven't lost interest in film music but I have been listening to less new music. I don't think that's because it's become crappier, but life certainly has. Become crappier, that is. Gone are the years where I would have time to seek out every obscure thing in the hopes of it being a hidden gem ...

- Comment That's my thoughts as well, sadly. The colors and textures are the only thing that's above average. I particularly like the little [b]Lethal Weapon[/b]-esque bits with tapped cymbals and electric guitar, but they're always fleeting. Would have been cool to have the whole score go for that sort of ...
