Everyone I have a question for y'all! Do you think Lorne Balfe is a good composer for disaster movies or fits with action movies or other genre.
Did you hear something from Divergent Triology by junkie XL and joseph trapense? I mean the Storm Track…
The only score i care from Reznor/Ross was Patriots Day, if it is that good
And can we please STOP acting like we aren’t allowed to criticize! I’m one of the biggest Zimmer fanboys and even I will admit if I don’t like something he did. Likewise if someone enjoys something universally hated, why can’t they like it?
Example: Most people would disagree with me but I think The Social Network is a genius score. And I wouldn’t argue if someone said they fucking hate it. It’s all personal preference.
I find "Hurricane" less offensive than "Raider". My heart sank into a deep darkness with the first 4 tracks of "TR". But I'm okay with it now. ;)
Well, Tomb Raider, Wrinkle in The Time and … Hurricane Heist are being criticized. The only one of the three that (MAYBE) may grow over time is "Wrinkle".
I know. But I'm referring to the material. As bad as the movie was, there was no way to do what he did. He did not even bother to create an exotic movie atmosphere that went beyond ethnic percussion. We have had previous films of the character and nothing has reached a point as low as what XL did. Another thing, not every bad movie has an obligation to have bad music. There are several examples out there. When this happens the composer clings more to the atmosphere of the film than the story itself. Pirate films, medieval wars, stereotyped archeologists and even bad fairy tales offer the composer the opportunity to work with a genre that opens many doors for creativity.

Have you not heard Beyond Two Souls or Blackwood? Lorne is probably one of the best when it comes to orchestral/synth mixes. The issue is when he works with directors with zero musical knowledge. Same with Junkie XL.
Maybe Lorne should choose more projects like Ghost in the Shell. Something that allows him to incorporate more style and electronics, because these generic action movies are giving him nothing to work with. He seems to me like he would have been a great composer in the 80s. With synth mixed with a little bit of orchestral elements to give a more other worldly/ethereal feeling.
He should do more sci-fi video games and movies. That would probably allow him to incorporate that style more, and allow him to become more unique, and get away from Zimmer's shadow. Rather than copy RCP action music.
Add your own opinion here and care less about the criticism of others.
