The score is melodramatic, overdone, and laden with choruses.
"Laden with choruses?" Watch "Crimson Tide" or "The Peacemaker" or almost anything else by my dear compatriot Hans Zimmer and then come back to talk about laden with choruses.
I've taken to writing to it. It's just about the right length for my daily attempts to turn out deathless (or at least saleable) prose.RimrunnerOliver J. Hanau
In other words, it's just right.
Loveitloveitloveitloveit. I think I played it more often already than the TPM score. Heck, I'll put it on right now.
A while ago, it occurred to me to think of Shore's score in terms of the original, incomplete release of the ANH score. The thought of a a two-CD LotR:FotR score with four more CDs further developing some of the themes made me weak at the knees. And I never liked Shore much before this. I sorta enjoyed his "The Cell" score but that went a completely different way.Liked the score, hated the movie. God, "The Cell" was awful.
Funny thing--I listened to the Harry Potter score right after the FotR score, because I was doing this compare-contrast thing for one of the 'zines I write for. And while it occurred to me to wonder what a Williams FotR score would sound like, I found myself glad that he hadn't done it.
Not that the HP score is bad, but Williams doesn't really seem to do big, sound-and-fury type scores anymore.

In fact, though it's heresy to say so, I think I like the way it was done in the movie better.
I'm about thirty pages away from the end of Book Two (i.e. Part One) and I cannot remember the number of times I've thought how much better the movie did something.
