Dunkirk (Zimmer)
War for the Planet of the Apes (Giacchino)


Hey, half right is better than completely wrong.

Certainly the Zimmer one, but I think there's worse to be had than that Giacchino score.


Be prepared for the thread to go to:
"Well, I really liked that score, so it's not crap!"

DUNKIRK is amazing. APES is terrible.

But these 'worst' threads always go haywire. People will mention titles they hate, that others absolutely adore. And then the ball rolls from there, usually downwards.

War was actually f'n amazing. "A Tide in the Affairs of Apes" is a knockout.

I didn't mind Dunkirk.

But this is all opinion anyway.

I'm inclined to agree about Dunkirk, I thought the film itself was incredible and the music really detracted from the experience of what was one of my favorite films of that year. The score seems to disregard the place and time of the movie in favor of another of his gimmicks.

(It bothered me so much I re-cut some scenes to pieces of Alfred Schnittke scores.)

Can't remember any being bad they all have some sort of merits..

Not one to slate scores there's always a glimmer that tickles your fancy when summing-it-up, I wish I could say this about Rock n Roll Nightmare but I can't..

Its sounds amateurish all the way.. vocals are just chugging-out add pitiful noises, the stock-music with or without dialogue is messy. Indeed its like listening too tracks-over-again & so on..

I can't answer the question without some information of the physical attributes of composers. Like, how tall, how heavy etc. I don't know which composers are small and which are tall.
" Big" is hard to quantify.

Interesting - I'm not much of a Giacchino fan but I have to say that I liked WAR enough to buy the CD - my favorite of his, a very good score, especially for this day and age.

Yep, pretty much.
It's just impossible for this stuff to stay confined to the Hoffman boards.

Most composers I love haven't been producing their best work for ages and most new composers are average at best. So picking two worst scores in the last 20 years would be impossible.

No the correct answer is:

Man of Steel (Hans Zimmer)
Babel (Gustavo Santoalla)

Thanks for playing though.

Yes. I wouldn't know what the worst score is because I try only to listen to music I enjoy. So whatever the worst scores are, I probably did not listen to them anyway. smile

I thought the recent X-MEN film (Dark Phoenix) had one of the weakest scores I've heard in many, many years.
It actually harmed the otherwise decent film, with it's lack of support and emotion.
Crucial scenes were rendered 'so what' by the unwillingness of the score to add any emotional weight or punch to their respective sequences.
I'm sure there's been others, but that one shines brightest at the moment.
