Here the CGI is airless and poorly implemented. How the hell does someone manage to make Jurassic Park: The Lost World's set pieces look down right innovative and thrilling? That airplane scene has none of the peril and danger that Spielberg employed to masterful effect when that trailer was dangling off a cliff in the rain. Shit, Revell's opening title in far more compelling with its ghostly monk chants and percussion library sample.īut the set pieces also in this movie are pure arglebargle applesauce. Nothing about this score will stand the test of time. This kind of stock Hans Zimmer music trend has really run its course and the movie is already bad and filled with a bunch of real stock cliches and self sacrifices, but does the music need to suck now too? Usually a composer like John Debney and David Arnold would use these projects to create timeless scores, even Alan Silvestri managed to write a marked improvement over Graeme Revell's efforts. There is nothing special about The Dark Tower and here he's dredging up ever forgettable power anthem from the D-Tox, Chill Factor and Peacemaker era of Hans Zimmer's library mixed with some percussion to come up with the same generic score you hear by Lorne Balfe and the like.Ĭonsidering both Graeme Revell and Alan Silvestri managed to come up with more compelling sounds for Tomb Raider movies, how the hell do you end up with the dated techno synth backed with overproduced brass like in that opening MMA scene. I don't understand what people hear in Junkie XL, his scores so far have been pretty terrible across the board. Geneva Robertson-Dworet is apparently writing Captain Marvel, Sherlock Holmes 3 and M.A.S.K., but the dialogue is just fucking garbage and the story structure is just atrocious. Coleen Atwood designed the costumes and they look awful. Stuart Baird is leading two other editors. How can one movie with that amount of talent turn out like such garbage. It was just so strange that they put that detail into the film but then thought that someone who would appreciate that detail wouldn't find the sparring scene weird. Kicking without shin guards is also very I'll advised. Wearing those gloves will potentially break your hand and have a higher chance of giving the other person a concussion. Like, if you did that in real life you're asking for an injury because that's no longer sparring, that's straightfighting. Yet in the very first scene she's MMA sparring with another woman but wearing no shin guards and only 4 oz gloves. Even in other scenes when people were choking from behind (rear naked choke) they were doing it properly. However she doesn't finish it properly and they move into the next part of the sequence. A very technical (though basic) move in Brazialian Jiu Jitsu. Mainly, when Lara had her final fight at the end she at one point puts the dude in a triangle choke. So something that frustrated and baffled me was the attention to detail and simultaneous lack of attention to detail in some elements. Anything that was said was generic and didn't contribute anything special. The thing is, all of Lara's transformation is communicated physically with physical acting and physical pain associated with it. The directing wasn't amazing but it was passable with some very good swooping shots and a good character transformation of Lara - again my favorite part of this movie and what I think to be the only good thing. If you want a video game movie to do well hire a good writer. I guess they had no time left? Anyways I blame the writing on all of this. Then the reveal of how Trinity had ties with her company was so loosely constructed on how she figured it out. The reveal of what the curse actually was made me groan a bit as well. There were a lot of haha jokes that felt like something from a 90s film. The writing was very wooden and the dialogue was barely passable. Unfortunately I think I read that WB doesn't want her anymore and her "lack of curves" was to blame for the poor box office. I think Alicia did a great job and I'd love to see more of her.
