What are some scenes where the music elevated the scene? What are some scenes where the music ruined the scene?

Baby Driver (the entire movie)

All of Star Wars. The music is so much a part of what makes it great. Also Lion King. The music is a huge part of the enjoyment for me.

I like the music in Doctor Who, but it can be mixed. Sometimes it is amazing, but sometimes it is too loud and the dialogue is hard to hear.

The one thing that weakened Thor: Ragnarok for me was the music. I know they wanted to do something different, but why break something that worked? And especially when you end up with something that awful.

Was there a particular scene in Thor Ragnarok you felt didn't work or was it the movie in general?

The movie in general. The only part that worked for me was the part of the final battle where The Immigrant Song plays. Other than that, I thought the music was just generally terrible.

I liked the Immigrant Song scene but I honestly don't remember the rest of the score being out of place, per se.

I just really didn't like it. The sound didn't work for me for Thor, even the different Thor that we got in this movie.

I for one thought the music was the best part of Ragnarok, but then again I hardly ever watch films that aren't animated anyway *g*

For a bad one. Armageddon is not a good movie BUT the scene where they play I Don't Want To Miss A Thing is particularly bad. All I can think is, "That is Liv Tyler's dad singing while Ben Affleck rubs animal crackers on her stomach."

For a good one, ALL of Mad Max: Fury Road. For a specific song, This Is The End by the Doors in Apocalypse Now really sets the mood.

HA, omg, yes. That was just weird and wrong.

Mad Max's music kicked ass.

Unrelated to the music, I need to watch Armageddon for the commentary track. Some place, I think Honest Trailers, turned me on to the fact that Ben Affleck says things like "So I asked Michael Bay why it was easier to train oil drillers to be astronauts than to train astronauts to drill and he said 'Shut the fuck up' so that was the end of that conversation."

The very first Pokémon episode, that scene at the end where Ash protects Pikachu from the Spearows. Goosebumps and tears, always.

Someone who wrote music for a living once had a lot of feelings about the FotR soundtrack, and particularly the scene where they escape Moria and are all sad over Gandalf. Dunno if it was a personal grudge against Enya or whatever; I've been wondering what made him so upset for sixteen years.

Edited 2018-03-26 23:16 (UTC)

The sad over Gandalf song wasn't Enya, her songs were in other scenes. It was some little boy singer in that one.

The Bladerunner 2049 music was perfect. It did its job setting the vibe without being intrusive. Same for the faux-Glass in the original Matrix movie.

the music in Watership Down is weird. it doesn't fit what's happening in the movie at all.

I just watched this movie for the first time, and I agree. I love the book, but the music kind of ruined the movie for me.

Elevated: The ending of the Jane Eyre movie with Fassbender. The scene in Central Park in Jackson's King Kong. Pretty much the entire Walking Dead episode "What Happened and What's Going On."

Ruined: Mystic River, all of it. Cable Girls, all of it.

I remember watching Sailor Moon while eating breakfast in high school and wondering why all the tense fight scenes were scored with, like, slow jazz elevator music.

I think that Star Wars probably wouldn't have worked if John Williams hadn't managed to tie together three different film genres with a single score.

Most of Cowboy Bebop.

Ennio Morricone's score for the Fistful of Dollars trilogy. Although everyone loves The Ecstasy of Gold, I'm more a fan of the climax of A Few Dollars More.

The Ecstasy of Gold on theremin:

Thank you!

Brooother, my brooother, tell me what are we fighting for? We've got to stop this war!!

aka the sudden music change in Pokemon the movie when they are all viciously battling each other, spliced in the middle of more epic orchestrated music

98% of skins - i can think of precisely two moments when the music wasn't right for the scene, and one of them was forced by changes for the dvd release; everything else was utter perfection (hometown glory, jump in, diver revive and you suffer probably take most of the cakes)

Chicago playing during that ferris wheel scene in the Netflix Death Note movie made that whole scene hysterical to me.
