If you're gonna judge a movie just because of it's music...well then thats just lame.

[quote="Jimbo@":2f91f]If you're gonna judge a movie just because of it's music...well then thats just lame.[/quote:2f91f]I never said the movie sucked because the music sucked. THe music was just one of the reasons why I thought War of the Worlds shouldn't be built up the way the media has been playing it to be. The unanswered questions, lack of key camera angle shots, non effective music, and unrealistic character abilites (getting out of every dangerous situation. Almost like "Dante's Peak" with Pierce Brosnan sp?) prevented the movie from standing out from any other movie on my list.

Errm... Jurassic Park 3?

This is exactly why there is no music through the opening of the movie.

I love soundtracks, I have a whole bunch of them, often they are the only kind of music I buy (Anything else I'll just download) and for me not to hear any music during the first part was an excellent choice, in my opinion.





*MAYBE SOME SPOLIERS*





I am talking mainly about the scene in which they discover the aliens underground, and the tripod comes out, and it creates a small earthquake in the process, and you see cars flying and people watch this thing that they've never in their wildest dreams have seen, fold out into this odd-looking tripod thing making weird noises and such. There is no music here because the director wants you to hear all of those sounds, and the buildings shattering, and the people screaming. He wants you to feel like you're actually there, watching with those people, wondering what it is. There is absolutely NO music until the Heat-Ray begins to fire on people and people start running and dying, and then the panicky frightening music kicks in.

This is almost the same thing with Saving Private Ryan, there is no music during the first 30 minutes of Omaha Beach , because it would ruin the realism and terrifying nature of the scene entirely. And there is hardly and music to that, either. But did it take away from it being a great movie? No, it enhanced it.

This is my opinion.

Oh, please...

Huh?

ok....

I hate to break it to you, but that's the meaning of SUSPENSE.

no fuckin spoilers with warning tags, duffes

Obviously they won't put music on the omaha beach landing. I didn't even notice any music when the lasers cut in. To be totally honest, the first time I heard music was when they discovered the jetplane crashed into the house. That was the first time that I heard anything. Hell, I could have invisioned like a freakin radio song playing while cruise was driving around in his car (that's too picky, but i'm just giving it as an example. It wouldn't really 'enhance' the scene any since he's just driving around.).

As the storm was forming, I could envision some major minor seventh chords being played, or even some thirteenth chords to draw some suspense to it.

there was music?

It's not my fault that you didn't pay attention.


Look, at the end of the day, it's a damn movie. I would hate to go to a movie with someone like you, who nitpicks every little thing down to the detail. You're sounding like a woman. rolleyes: Just enjoy it for what it's worth.

You gay, He's just critizing it AFTER he had seen the movie. I hardly doubt he was sitting in the theaters going, "OH MY FUCKING GOD WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MUSIC THIS MOVIE SUCKS I WANT MY MONEY BACK".

This is a thread to discuss/criticize the movie, and he's simply saying what he would have thought would have made it better. He's not saying that more music would have been the universially accepted opinion on how to make this movie more kick ass. So stop being a little dick about it and accept that mabye he thought it needed music, and you didn't. Big fucking deal.

I beg to differ.

blase said it pretty much. Thanks for saving me a minute in typing time. beer:

Vance, you need to get passed the fact that the soundtrack was just 1 small reason why i didn't find the movie 'great' like the critics built it up to be. I didn't feel like i wasted an hour and half of my life away; it's just that I wouldn't go back to see it again.

Let's just end it.

[/quote:5e202]obviously you didn't b/c you keep bringing up the how I didn't like the music. Yeah, it was bad, but not the main reason for my overall thoughts.
