Been looking forward to this score. Also looking forward to Nathan Furst’s Need For Speed.
Hoping that it doesn’t happen the same thing with Airbender with the choir cut from the CD and replaced by a synth one.
Really lame score. After Snow White I am pretty sure now – JNH lost his touch.
Please. It’s a great score. A follow-up of the I Am Legend/Hunger Games. And it’s the most thematic score he has written in a while (there’s 4 themes). I’m tired of people bashing every JNH score, because it’s not like the ones from the 90’s. He’s going back to his roots in electric music, long before becoming into a typical blockbuster composer that everybody we’re spoiled to have.
