Ready Player One - Alan Silvestri
|
| 80's throwback! |
|
|
This is the first Silvestri/Spielberg combination. Silvestri has written a fun score with a lot of throwbacks to the 80's like his own Back to the Future music!
My highlights:
- The Oasis
- Hello, I’m James Halliday
- Welcome to the Rebellion
- Ready Player One (Main Title)
- Ready Player One (End Credits)

Horizon Zero Dawn - Joris De Man, The Flight, Joris De Man And The Flight (...)
|
| One of my personal favorites of 2017 |
|
|
I really love this score. "Aloy's Theme" is just gorgeous. Mainly the Joris the Man tracks are great on this album.
My favorites are: "Aloy’s Theme," "Years of Training," "The Good News," "City of the Mesa" and "Song To The Sun - Dawning".

God Of War (PlayStation Soundtrack) - Bear McCreary
|
| Absolutely magnificent |
|
|
This score just blew me away, it is that good. The God of War theme with the low men choir but also the mother theme are gorgeous. The themes can be heard throughout the whole score. The best tracks, in my humble opinion are "God of War" and "Ashes".

Pacific Rim: Uprising - Lorne Balfe, Ramin Djawadi
|
| It lacks on every front |
|
|
This score is just plain boring. Where the predecessor had awesome music, where you wanted to root for the robots, this score has nothing of the sort. It is just drums and a simple melody as a theme.

Taken - Laura Karpman

Laura Kapman has composed a beautiful tapestry that only some composers can formulate. Go into this music with the mind that the series takes and you will travel with it to places you seen before but only rarely. I was so reminded of Williams in many parts but not in terms replicating but in terms of the paint stroke. Enjoy this superior score.

Black Panther - Ludwig Goransson
|
| A Marvel action movie with a fantastic African style score |
|
|
Goransson is an unknown composer to me. but he has written a great score, full of African influences. The T'Challa theme with the fanfare sound and the talking drums is great. However, the Killmonger theme is even better with the wild flute sounds and the hip-hop elements.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle - Matthew Margeson Henry Jackman
|
| Music of the sequel is more Kingsman.. which is a good thing. |
|
|
The music of this movie is written by the same composers, who continued their style.
If you loved the Kingsman soundtrack you will also love this one.

Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi - John Williams
|
| Return to A Galaxy far, far away. |
|
|
The great John Williams has now composed an amazing eight Star Wars films and in this eighth installment of the epic saga, he continues to amaze us. I wish I could could through each track to give a more extensive insight into Williams' work but I will go through some of its highlights.
Like with The Force Awakens, it takes a few listens to get a good feel of JW's work and appreciate the new themes he intertwines with the old ones in The Last Jedi. Prime examples is the Ahch-To Island and the Battle of Crait tracks which gives us a taste of everything. Some of the highlights include some nice variations of Rey's theme and Jedi Steps but also a nice introdution to new music as heard in Rose's theme. It is light hearted with a moderate pace that adds to the characters personality.
For those who enjoyed The Force Awakens, all of the familiar themes from it are represented. Some more than others. For me it was just right. With this being Carrie Fisher's final performance, it is only fitting that Leia's theme is prominently featured throughout and no doubt had an emotional impact to me and moviegoers alike. Beautifully done in all aspects including the track, The Supremacy.
Another fun tracks that JW brought to TLJ was Canto Bight. The music in this piece can be best described as the Cantina Band mixed with a funky Latin Jazz flavor and some interesting instrumentation but I loved it.
TFA did not have too much of a choral aspect besides Snokes theme but this time JW uses it for just the right amount of time to give the scenes a more emotional impact. The Battle of Crait and The Last Jedi each utilize the choir slowly at first and then builds up to a fitting climax.
Of course JW always has a great End Titles piece to each of SW and TLJ is no exception. This particular track begins on a relaxing Sound of a harp and transitions to that familiar end credits theme we all know. Finale includes a very beautiful piano excerpt of Leias theme fitting for her final on screen performance that will definitely bring SW to tears. Another standout excerpt from this track is General Holdos\ The New Rebellion Melody in which the brass And strings build up the suspense to a very pivotal moment in the film. I only wish they would have included more of this melody earlier on this CD to fully enjoy the aspect of this new piece.
Overall fans of John Williams and Star Wars will not only love this score but continue to be astonished of Maestro's ability to write new music for a franchise he has been working on for more than 40 years. We can only Hope he has surprises for us one more time in Episode IX before he takes his final bow. Thank you Maestro!

Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi - John Williams
|
| It is a Star Wars score |
|
|
This score contains a lot of great music from Episodes 4-7. There is some new music, but most of the album is a throwback to all the other movies. To me, that is a great thing!

Dunkirk - Hans Zimmer, Hans Zimmer & Lorne Balfe, Hans Zimmer & Benjamin Wallfisch (...)
|
| A very good score for the movie... not on its own |
|
|
I think this whole score is perfect for the movie. I felt very uncomfortable the whole movie and the music made that happen.
Listening to it on its own is just... meh...
Supermarine is one of the only tracks that I can appreciate without the images. It is a but repetitive but still enjoyable to listen to it.
