Of course there are those that would say that film music in general is overrated!    Posted:   Jul 31, 2011 - 3:37 AM     By:   Francis   (Member) Out of Africa Jaws Psycho Star Wars Star Trek TMP Superman The Godfather The Mission Titanic    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 4:03 AM     By:   Leorx   (Member) Too many to name, really, but here are 15 things I can think of on top of my head: The How to Train Your Dragon scores Tron: Legacy La La Land Jackie Mad Max: Fury Road Independence Day Cutthroat Island The Godfather Some John Williams scores Many Silvestri scores Many Elfman scores Many Desplat scores Many Zimmer scores Many Horner scores Many Giacchino scores But if I had to narrow it down to the three most overrated three things out of these, I would say the following: Most Giacchino scores Most Horner scores Most Zimmer scores    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 4:31 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Anything by Michael Giacchino.    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 4:45 AM     By:   Nicolai P. Zwar   (Member) All film music by film composers is overrated. What has music ever contributed to a motion picture? If you need some music in your film, get 50 Cents and Kanye West to provide some cool grooves (and sell some albums!), instead of strange old sounds from strange old people like John Williams and Ennio Morricone. Some of their music is so old, it's not even sampled! It sounds like it's directly made on wood and steel and stuff... not processed, not cool. And they don't even do dance moves, for cryin' out loud!    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 5:06 AM     By:   judy the hutt   (Member) All film music by film composers is overrated.

Now, completely forgotten score.    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 5:57 AM     By:   SBD   (Member) Near, far, wherever you are... Change my mind.    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 6:32 AM     By:   WagnerAlmighty   (Member) Star Wars imo. The main theme was certainly exciting upon first release, but over the years it has gotten abysmally worn out. I nominate Empire Strikes Back as a far more impressive score (the only one I own out of the entire franchise). And I rarely even play THAT one lol! I prefer Alfred, Jerry, and Miklos' action music...among other things.    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 7:14 AM     By:   gyorgyL   (Member) E.T. The extra-terrestrial , all of of the staff modeled on Howard Hanson's romantic symphony is a bit too much ...    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 7:35 AM     By:   Nicolai P. Zwar   (Member) are you serious V? Serious IV. Serious V is the one who comes after me.    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 7:40 AM     By:   johnonymous86   (Member) It's all overrated. I don't even know why I'm here I think Zimmer/Batman scores are horribly distracting from the films, mostly because I so wanted the films to have more compelling underscore and all I can think every time I watch them is what a wasted opportunity it was. +1 for the Social Network too. God I hate film music.    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 7:47 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Lets list lots of awesome scores and poop on them!    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 7:49 AM     By:   Avatarded   (Member) Too many to name, really, but here are 15 things I can think of on top of my head: The How to Train Your Dragon scores Tron: Legacy La La Land Jackie Mad Max: Fury Road Independence Day Cutthroat Island The Godfather Some John Williams scores Many Silvestri scores Many Elfman scores Many Desplat scores Many Zimmer scores Many Horner scores Many Giacchino scores But if I had to narrow it down to the three most overrated three things out of these, I would say the following: Most Giacchino scores Most Horner scores Most Zimmer scores God I wouldn't want to hear the shit you consider to be underrated or "good", but clearly you have come from the classical elitist crowd anyway given your history here. I'm sure what you consider great I'd find overrated. Meh.    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 7:50 AM     By:   Avatarded   (Member) Lets list lots of awesome scores and poop on them! Exactly. Seeing WHO bumped this thread 8 years later was not remotely a surprise.    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 8:05 AM     By:   Scott McOldsmith   (Member) The Rock Titanic (and I love Horner, but this is far from his best work)    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 12:46 PM     By:   BTTFFan   (Member) I agree with those who mentioned The Dark Knight. I’ll add the Star Trek scores, Aliens, Die Hard, Chariots Of Fire. Overrated composers: 1. Giacchino Junkie XL Tyler Goldenthal Elfman Newman Kamen Djawadi Balfe A lot of Goldsmith    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 1:01 PM     By:   dbrooks   (Member) I would also agree with Titanic. I think when soundtracks hit the mainstream and they find there way in everyones record collection, they tend to be judged as a "ultimate" favorite. So Rocky and even some of the Star Wars will be considered overrated when asking film score experts.    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 2:08 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) CLOSE ENCOUNTERS    Posted:   Feb 19, 2019 - 2:13 PM     By:   WagnerAlmighty   (Member) I agree with those who mentioned The Dark Knight. I’ll add the Star Trek scores, Aliens, Die Hard, Chariots Of Fire. Overrated composers: Junkie XL Djawadi Balfe A list of composers whom aren't exactly favorites of mine, either. XL is mostly bunk imo, worse thing ever happened to Zimmer.     General Discussion: What Is The Most Overrated Film Score, Period?    << < 3 4 5 6 7  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7   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 2 3 4 5 6 7
