Along with these, the scores I have heard so far not really that great either. Badelts score for Poseidon was at best so-so and the film was same, so-so and run of the mill stuff. J

The fact that they can't come up with any original stories tells you how bankrupt they are now in their thinking. LOL. J.New Omen isnt worth the time. Same old script too. Again.

While not big into remakes, there are some i did enjoy: Dawn of the Dead, The Hills Have Eyes, Oceans Eleven and a few others.I'm looking forward to seeing how Rob Zombie does on the semi-prequel/semi-remake of Halloween.

Strange thread. Anyway, Chancellor Hitl ... I mean Klaus Badelt's (who insists on being called Dr. Kobayashi in interviews) score for Poseidon is easily the worst score of the year, and so is the film.Tell us what else you hate "John C Winfrey."

For me X-MEN 3 was pretty damn good. John Powell's score was great.I was underwhelmed by M:I 3. Both the movie and the score were nothing more than an average, all be it expensive episode of some action TV show.
Am not really interested in THE OMEN or POSEIDON. I have both scores, but think they don't stand out. Badelt's theme was okay though.
Am still looking forward to Ottman's take on SUPERMAN and Zimmer's POTC 2.

The year has been wretched. X-Men 3 was so dreadful in my eyes (as an X-Men film and summer action film) that I refused to post my response to it on Sean's review thread. The DaVinci Code was a tired attempt from a lackluster director and a hack screenwriter (Hanks single-handedly takes the win for the worst hero in any film of the past 20 years). Poseidon was a disasterous disaster movie that seemed to be over as soon as it began. In an age when I had thought that Pixar had grown up after the fantastic The Incredibles (I guess I should thank Brad Bird), Cars takes their talents down a slight notch. I fell asleep at John Moore's "remake" of The Omen (I felt as though they had pulled a "Psycho '98" on us; but this time it wasn't an experiment in the filmmaker's eyes). Luckily, three movies managed to dig their way out of a pitiful summer. M: i: III was a dazzling and fun popcorn movie; JJ Abrams is a director to watch, trust me. Nacho Libre was as entertaining and original as kid's films come. I'm very pleased that director Jared Hess has founf stylistic bounds to work in, as it seems no other comedy director can find this. And last and certainly not least (more like best movie of the year so far) came the Aussie bloodbath The Proposition; a film that would make both Peckinpah and Leone proud.Pirates 2, Superman Returns, Miami Vice, and Snakes on a Plane all seem like good bets so far. We'll see how the rest of the summer pans out.

It's funny Franz, I remember when Abrams' early draft for the Superman reboot while both Brett Ratner and McG were circling the project. I read a few reviews of it and read some exerpts and I've never sworn off one single person more in my life after I read what he had done to Superman and his amazing mythology. At the time, I was starting to get into Alias because I had heard a lot of good things about it and being a huge fan of the spy/espionage genre, I thought it was up my alley. After I read Abrams Superman, I refused to watch Alias or speak his name. But, I think, after the pilot episode of Lost, some time spent forgetting that Superman travesty, and M: i: III, I've realised that Abrams may well be a successful format crossover. Where he succeeded in the television world with things like Felicity, Alias, and now Lost, it's easy to find JJ's strengths as a writer and director. He approaches things from the emotional standpoint of humans; unlike the billions of music video directors we have working behind the cameras these days, Abrams is less focused on style and more on substance. And that, to me, is a saving grace in today's cinema. Which convinced me even more that infamous producer Jon Peters wrote a majority of JJ's Superman script; but I'm sure we'll never know.[Message edited by nuts_score on 06-20-2006]
