Thanks Thor! And you know what I think is even worse? That with all this insane critics buzz they might want to do more DC movies in this kind of "artsy" way, instead of doing it right finally as Marvel do.

Poor Thor. Unless I agree with him, he has to fight these battles alone. Sad. I help when I can but no way I will watch ANY D.C. film!

Tim Grieving did an interview with Gudnadottir on NPR this morning. She seems like a knowledgeable musician but not really a traditional film score composer. She composes on cello, which is her primary instrument. Personally, I've always found cello to be very melodramatic anyways so I was not surprised that the score segments that they played were just droning cello and some light non-traditional percussion (sounded like bowls maybe?) She mentioned that her music is usually dark and so I think that makes her a good choice for this film but kind of limits her for non-dark projects. I though the sequel to Sicario had some great moments of tension in the score but it's definitely not something you can hum along with. I haven't seen the film but it makes sense to have this kind of score for this kind of film since it's so in vogue now. I've seen it said many times on this board but modern film music is moving more and more towards sound design and less composition, at least for these dark gritty post postmodernism films.

A functional cello-driven score, and no drone music, at last ! Good job Hildur.

I'm not an advocate of a return to big, symphonic scores but drone scores are really becoming a nuisance. They don't even seem to be ' composed ' for any particular scenes. " Sonic wallpaper" indeed. Seems to be more of a tv thing, thankfully.

Several of us have said it several times, Bruce -- this is NOT a "drone score"! I was speaking in general terms. Not particular to this one But,CHERYNOBL , which is the score I know, WAS. A drone score.

I see. Well, there's a time for a drone, and a time for not. True. But not an ENTIRE SCORE!

Thanks Thor! And you know what I think is even worse? That with all this insane critics buzz they might want to do more DC movies in this kind of "artsy" way, instead of doing it right finally as Marvel do. Oh god, if Marvel is "doing it right" then I never want to see a "good" superhero movie again. I can't stand that cookie cutter nonsense with zero sense of danger and one-liners thrown in to alleviate the nonexistent tension as often as possible. After the first Avengers I threw in the towel. Oh, I'd love that. I hate superhero stuff, so I'm all for doing more 'artsy' interpretations like this. For example, the TV series LEGION is one of my favourite things to come out of the superhero craze, and that's totally out there, David Lynch-style. I'm right there with you, Thor. Legion is brilliant (though I haven't seen the last season yet). It's like what would actually happen if people with special abilities were in the real world. I love the psychological aspects of it. Far less Marvel; more like if Fringe, Maniac, and X-Men had a baby.

Haven't seen LEGION, but the premise is hardly original ( WATCHMEN et al)
