I hope it will be as great as track “Horn of Plenty” from previous film. After some lousy performances (Snow White and The Huntsman, After Earth…), JNH needs a big comeback.
Have you heard those Scores? They are incredible. The themes in Snow White.and the Horror and Scifi brilliance of After Earth is amazing.
Last Airbender is amazing. Dinosaur is amazing. Snow White and After Earth are mediocre at best.
I really cannot understand that. But we all have our opinions.
JNH used to be my favorite composer. When I got into scores five years ago, at the peak of his career, I had listened to most of his scores, which I still love. Blood Diamond, Michael Clayton, The Village, Signs, Wyatt Earp, Dinosaurs, Treasure Planet, Atlantis, Defiance, Duplicity, Hidalgo, King Kong, I am Legend, Dave, Emperor’s Club, The Postman, Snow Falling on Cedars, Lady in the Water, Salt. Then he started going minamalist and generic with little passion and love. The Tourist and Green Lantern and Water for Elephants and the ones your guys said. All decent scores, but nowhere near as brilliant and memorable as he used to be for the last twenty years. He needs to jump out of this dry spell and come up with something truly memorable in order for me to call him one of the best again.
The Last Airbender is one of the greatest Scores ever Written, and was released only a couple of years ago. His Snow White Score is filled with rich motifs of emotion, action, and horror. He has not lost it, he never has.
This one should be better, since he has more time and he’s not stepping in last minute to replace Danny Elfman like last time.
James Newton Howard are one of the best composers of his generation, but his last scores were not as brilliant as it used to be. Water for Elephants is fantastic and Snow White and the Huntsman is pretty good, but The Bourne Legacy, After Earth and Parkland are mediocre. But I have big expectations for this score, his job on the first Hunger Games were very good, and now he had more time to compose a better soundtrack.
OMG LastAirbender was bloody brilliant! Luv it soooo much!
HungerGames I was also a pretty good score. With some recent mishaps, JNH better come bak with some good musique!
Just finished listening to this. It’s terribly boring and uninspired. For me, JNH has lost it.
well…I thought the samples sounded pretty good. Not in the league of Restoration, Airbender, Lady in the Water or Signs, but still really good….the row of I Am Legend and The Village.
And also a good sequel score deveoping on existing ideas. At last that’s the impression I got. I’ll come back when my album is in the mail box
