I like about 60% of Hans Zimmer's work since 2000. Action scores that I like from him are Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3, both Sherlock Holmes movies, Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, Interstellar, and all three Chris Nolan Batman movies. Other action scores that I like are Total Recall (Jerry Gold smith), Masters of the Universe (Bill Conti), The Living Daylights (John Barry), and The Fugitive (James Newton Howard). Maybe my problem is that I don't usually like actions scores or movies. I find they just don't hold up. Almost all of the movies I mentioned are really action dramas, not just straight action movies. What do you all recommend for a good action score from the year 2000-present?    Posted:   Jan 17, 2015 - 8:17 PM     By:   SBD   (Member) Can't go wrong with Elfman's WANTED.    Posted:   Jan 17, 2015 - 8:31 PM     By:   dr.doom   (Member) chad seiters star trek the videogame cant be topped    Posted:   Jan 18, 2015 - 1:56 AM     By:   Francis   (Member) In order of preference: G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra (Alan Silvestri) Matrix Reloaded (Don Davis) Tron Legacy (Daft Punk) Priest (Christopher Young) The Avengers (Alan Silvestri) Spiderman 3 (Christopher Young) The Last Airbender (James Newton Howard) Rambo (Brian Tyler) A Good Day to Die Hard (Marco Beltrami) The Core (Christopher Young) The Bourne Legacy (James Newton Howard)    Posted:   Jan 18, 2015 - 2:24 AM     By:   Lokutus   (Member) PRIEST A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 3, 4 DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES TROPIC THUNDER THE WOLVERINE EAGLE EYE a bit older: Perfect Storm T3 I, Robot Live Free or Die Hard Final Fantasy Van Helsing Dark City    Posted:   Jan 18, 2015 - 2:28 AM     By:   Lokutus   (Member) PRIEST A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 3, 4 DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES TROPIC THUNDER THE WOLVERINE EAGLE EYE a bit older: Perfect Storm T3 I, Robot Live Free or Die Hard Final Fantasy Van Helsing Dark City    Posted:   Jan 18, 2015 - 2:43 AM     By:   DeputyRiley   (Member) ...in addition to the ones posted above, definitely check out anything BOURNE! (Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum, Legacy) Also James Newton Howard's Salt comes to mind, the recent 2-disc Peacemaker complete score, Patrick Doyle's Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Silvestri's A-Team, Tyler's Expendables trilogy and Eagle Eye. I have to reiterate Marco Beltrami's A Good Day to Die Hard, too -- tremendous action score.    Posted:   Jan 18, 2015 - 4:06 AM     By:   Lokutus   (Member) what about The Gunman and Hitman: Agent 47? ;-)    Posted:   Jan 18, 2015 - 5:26 AM     By:   DeputyRiley   (Member) what about The Gunman and Hitman: Agent 47? ;-) Maybe!    Posted:   Jan 18, 2015 - 5:29 AM     By:   David Kessler   (Member) I saw John Wick last night and loved the score to this    Posted:   Jan 18, 2015 - 5:30 AM     By:   David Kessler   (Member) I saw John Wick last night and loved the score to this    Posted:   Jan 18, 2015 - 6:41 AM     By:   Mr. Jack   (Member) Safe by Mark Mothersbaugh...totally sounded like a Jerry Goldsmith/Lalo Schifrin score circa 1972.    Posted:   Jan 18, 2015 - 7:39 AM     By:   Shaun Rutherford   (Member) "Flying A Tank" from Silvestri's score to The A-Team is easily one of the best action cues of the past 10+ years.    Posted:   Jan 18, 2015 - 8:10 AM     By:   mastadge   (Member) "Flying A Tank" from Silvestri's score to The A-Team is easily one of the best action cues of the past 10+ years. YES! And I don't even usually care for Silvestri.    Posted:   Jan 18, 2015 - 8:11 AM     By:   scoreaholic   (Member) Thanks everyone! I will now go and try to listen to these and see which ones I like. I'll let you know if any of these are to my liking!    Posted:   Jan 18, 2015 - 8:12 AM     By:   mastadge   (Member) Armstrong's THE INCREDIBLE HULK. Wonderful synthesis of Bourne-style rhythmic action and big thematic action set-pieces.     General Discussion: Good Recent Action Scores?    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
