    The first score probably is the best "musically", but the third one has the awesome Western theme! How can that not move it higher on the list?

    That western theme is indeed magnificent but nothing beats the original score! It's a classic in every sense of the word! But... Part III is one of the finest sequel scores ever composed... I'll give you that!

    Terminator: Salvation

    For all the luke-warm reviews, I really liked this movie, which plays a lot more like a war movie in an apocalyptic setting than a "regular" Terminator movie. Bale is excellent as always, the plot moves at breakneck speed (though there are few surprises) and the special effects are quite eye-popping (love the big "Transformer" Terminator).
    And of course Arnie's "cameo" was a serious OH YEAH! moment!

    4 out of 5

    Elfman's score gets the action-adventure tone of the film just right, and employs the metallic growl effect with great panache. I just wish they had incorporated the thunderous Terminator percussion motif when the T-101 (Arnie) makes its first entrance on the CD. slant

    4 out of 5

    I understand where Erik is coming from but as a stand alone score it's the 3rd one that is best! Simple as that!!!

    RV: The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King (extended edition)

    Jackson's The Lord Of The Rings trilogy is indelibly linked to New Year for me. For three years I used to go to the cinema on January first with a whole bunch of friends to see in the next year in style.

    It's a great film, and I still love the much maligned lingering ending (I think it's just paced beautifully)...but the extended edition is just too damn long. I'm gonna hunt down the standard editions. These were far better viewing.

    Back to Your Zimmer Avatar would be more precise IMO.

    My biggest problem with that movie is that the end fight just seemed too easy. All the main characters were invincible, and as soon as those all-powerful ghosts entered the fight it was practically over. I prefer movies where one sits on the edge of one's seat hoping that the good guys will win. Of course the good guys always win, but the best movies always tries to make one doubt that inevitable outcome.

    I haven't seen the extended versions of the TT and ROTK yet. I'm curious about them though.

    Well, I wouldn't say that: Faramir and Eowyn are severely injured, Theoden dies. Even Merry is seriously hurt (although that comes through better in the book).

    and as soon as those all-powerful ghosts entered the fight it was practically over.


    Sure, but before that time they couldn't catch any break: Minas Tirith's defenses were shattered, Denethor losing his mind (in the book it becomes clear he's been corrupted by Mordor even), Gandalf being no match for the Witch-King, Rohan's desperate charge meeting with initial success against overwhelming numbers falters when the elephaunts charge.

    I wouldn't say it was an easy victory by any means.

    But Tolkien does tend to come up with dei ex machina: the ghost army, indeed. And the eagles (twice, no less: they save the day in The Hobbit as well).

    For three years on the trot, me, Mel and two of my friends dubbed ourselves the fellowship and splashed out in advance on best cinema seats around Christmas time. Each successive Christmas felt kind of empty after that with no real cinema event to get excited about.

    It is exactly what we were talking about with my parents this morning. How nice it was when we were eagerly waiting for the next Christmas to watch the next Lord of the Rings. And how uninteresting the rest of the movies we saw durning Christmas time the following years were. I remember that I've been booking our tickets at least one month earlier so we could go during the first days and have good seats.

    Star Trek

    Still enjoyed it, but it's harder to forgive the film's flaws the second time round (ie the huge coincidences and leaps of faith required to propel the story along). But the film does have a lot going for it - the sense of fun, the young cast (like Alan I'm also extremely wedded to the original cast and crew when it comes to Star Trek, but unlike him I think the replacements all did well - I'm especially fond of the new Uhura!) and the score. It IS repetitive, but I think it works very well. So there.


    I hope people will now stop calling J.J.ABRAMS a hack.

    There are plenty of more pertinent insults to throw at him, I agree.
