Dawn was a big disappointment, both movie and score, but fingers crossed that they'll step in the right direction this time.

I really loved DAWN/APES, the film was excellent and the score was pretty great to, so I'm looking forward to another installment.

Dawn could have been much improved as the movie, but the score was the best thing about whole thing... good news!

Dawn was a fantastic entry, a rare, very smart Summer flick. If anything, I think it could benefit the filmmakers moving forward to simply excise the humans and focus exclusively on what is going on with the apes and their culture. It could offer a fascinating perspective for the series to completely lose that human element since the reboot saga has largely been appreciated based upon the ape characters, and Caesar's establishment as their leader.

Couldn't agree more. Rise was a great movie wih a wonderful score but Dawn just really didn't reqch the same heights as a film and neither did the music.

Same here. Actually Rise film could have been the prologue of the third one, that would have made more sense.

I agree with those that don't think DAWN was all that great. The story was puddle deep, and the score was lacking in imagination. Can't say I'm that excited over the next one, unless they somehow manage a great script. Giacchino, I hope, takes a pass this time.

No comment about the movie (I just fell asleep while watching Dawn on my flight across the ocean) but the score is a lot better than Rise.
So I expect some pretty interesting work for War

Dawn was as good if not better than Rise. Smartly executed, thrilling and had me pumped for the next installment and the score was as good as Doyles. One of the best movies last summer period.

Agree and liked the score and got what Giacchino was trying to do by paying homage to Goldsmith in parts.

Did he pay homage anywhere else than that one track? That was the only part I liked of the whole score.

You gotta be kidding. You're still going to need some human characters in it for marketing reasons and just general audiences relating to it. Even the '68 original had Heston. I still want to see humans in these movies in relation to the apes.

"The Apes of Wrath" maybe? Much of the percussion from 2:08 borrows from Goldsmith's Apes.

when I remember correctly comparing Giacchino's score with Goldsmith is like comparing an amoeba with a butterfly.
In terms of elaboration.

I agree with each and every one of you--you're all absolutely right about this one.

I wish they had called the first reboot film "Dawn of the.... " and the second "Rise...."

Not possible, but I understand the sentiment. What I enjoy is when I run across someone commenting that DAWN is a "masterpiece" and "better than even the '68 original."

Oh, the minds of humans!

I just wish they would have switched the Apes to Dogs in the reboot.
Would have been more compelling and the audience would have related more.

wink
