To be fair, Dario's Everest isn't anything to gush over, either. It resorts to Zimmer tricks as well (and Thomas Newman and James Newton Howard and whoever the temp wanted him to be on a cue-by-cue basis).

So that score is better, but it's also worse than Pan because it's not on a CD?

Saw it today, in 3d with the kid. I probably would not have seen it but the kid wanted to. In any case, it is not half as bad as the naysayers, or the box office, suggests. Yes, it is still an unnecessary remake, reboot or what you call it. But..well there is something throwback about it - the London during WWII - I like the idea of planes and sailing pirate ships in fights. I think that the kid that they got for Peter is pretty good - he is sincere and has emotive eyes, Hugh Jackman seems like he is delighting in chewing the scenery. There is the ever popular and all too common backdrop green screen work that is pretty obvious. That said, the production design and costume work is top notch, the flying ships are pretty well done. The island for the tribe is a really enormous, and the money is there on the screen, giant trees and plants and such. Fault the story as you may, there is something sweet about Peter looking for his mother, and some sincere feeling does come through the screen, which is more than I can say for a dozen super-hero pictures. The score, it is as reported, not cohesive, not thematic and not that interesting. There is some choral bits that I like, and some bits of percussive work that I like, but it is not a whole cloth or inspired work to me. Given the choice I would surely pick the PJ Hogan version over this one. But this is not a bad film. maybe not a great one, but a fairly good one.

Studio interference has killed everything Joe Wright wanted to do. A bad case of Warner destroying its own projects.
