Well...at least he's not James Horner. Ick.
James Horner is one of the best composers ever to work in film.
He's written more than TITANIC, you know.
Liked the score, hated the movie. God, "The Cell" was awful.He did one two years ago, called The Phantom Menace.
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.
But do you really think a LOTR score by Williams would sound like Harry Potter? LOTR is hardly the same type of film, it's much more epic.
Williams would have written a masterpiece if he had been given the chance. Not that I'm complaining about Shore's effort.
