the theme isnt orignal its a bunch of chords pretending to be Ifukube. It sounds random and not thought out

thumbs up and stuffs

I love electronic music, but its effectiveness depends on what you're trying to do with it. The Godzilla theme here falls flat because it feels so hollow compared to the actual instruments Ifukube used and McCreary used to bring it to life as well.

Electronic music was primarily used for one of my all time favorite Godzilla scores. The difference was it wasn't trying to sound like low-rent Ifukube and created a wholly original theme for Godzilla on its own.

I'm joking, but I find that alot of new new age music don't use real instruments anymore. Atleast, the music i listen to. :(

 I want to see a movie studio do an official Godzilla soundtrack that uses portions of his original theme, not enough to feel like its a copy but it brings something new and exciting to Godzilla and his theme...Oh wait

Hey, atleast people weren't turned off from the movie by the music. :)

Uh oh, Gman.i think this is a largely zoomer vs boomer scenario.

You cant deny it, you're just sick of those darn zoomers with their electro-pop music. 

"I was expecting a godzilla theme that emulated the one in KOTM  but had a eerie or sinister feel to it while Kong had a more or less standard emotional heroic nature type theme."

Maybe you won't be disappointed then. Godzilla's theme is similar to the Ifukube motif, but it's also so close that it makes no sense as to why they wouldn't use his real theme. It sounds like a cheap knockoff of Ifukube's theme.

Kong's theme is certainly the better of the two, certainly heroic at times, but also a little generic. I think the main problem is their themes are brought to life largely by electronics and synth, instead of real instruments.

In some instances large profile, tent pole movies (usually summer blockbusters) are released on Wednesdays.

If a studio believes it can maximize a movie's gross by utilizing a 5 day opening weekend, and there's a high demand for it, they will release it on Wednesday. And in some cases, to alleviate sellout pressure, Wednesday premieres allow the die-hard fans to get in fast while casual movie goers will wait for the weekend.

This was especially true for movies from the 1990s through mid-2000s. Movies like Independence Day, Spider-Man 2, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, The Dark Knight, etc. were all released on Wednesdays. Heck, The Lost World: Jurassic Park was even released on a Monday for a 7 day opening!

In the case of Godzilla vs. Kong, while it doesn't have a lot of hype following the box office failure of Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Forbes has confirmed WB is hyping it as a savior of the movie going experience. WB is opening more theaters for this movie alone. My guess is they're hoping people are starved enough for a theatrical experience that they'll flock to it. As a result, WB has given it a Wednesday release to (hopefully) capitalize on a 5 day release.

I'm not going to listen to the soundtrack until the movie releases here(in America), but hopefully its not...too horrible? I wanted it to surprise me, but by the sound of it, looks like its going to disappoint me instead.

Actually, I'm surprised Junkie didn't use a tune similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juiULmf-AZ8

Zack Snyder's Justice League, I could understand.

But GVK? I'm not sure....

sonictiger,
That's because McCreary was using Akira Ifukube's theme from the original films. It's not just Godzilla's best theme, it is his penultimate theme.

I wish they just brought McCreary back. This wasn't the right project for Holkenborg.

Meh, I just avoid the fan trailers.

And Bear McCreary should've collaborated with Junkie XL in order to make the score better.

KOTM's Godzilla theme was easily the best Goji theme.

The soundtrack...is fine, I guess.  Holkenborg's best work is easily still Zack Snyder's Justice League.  I liked how he remixed Hyper Potions in Sonic, and also liked Jia's "theme" in the soundtrack.  It's overall a 6/10.  I've seen better.

Also, the spoilers come up in fake trailer videos trying to get views, here’s an example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1JM-_YsSfA It’s fake because the thumbnail is kiriyu

@Gman

I agree

Wow, lol

Youtube went online in 2005. So luckily we didn't have this problem during the Millennium Godzilla series.

Of course that didn't stop someone from filming Godzilla: Final Wars off a screen and leaking the entire movie online through other avenues.

Thanks!

I agree. Very good

First comment.

I'm really proud of myself for this one...

It’s just trying to get views, GvK is one of the things the algorithm is promoting right now

meh

maybe the people posting the scenes know the movies bad so they dont want anyone to see it. (disclaimer: I dont know if gvks gonna be bad)

At least Marvel has given Olsen her big break...

I really liked the dazzling visuals in KoTM. I’d rather not have a grey filter on this film. Based on the trailer it’s gonna be toned more down than KOTM

@Gman

Thats true.

@Sonic

I rewatched the film many times with the darkness. It is an issue and probably the biggest one. But for me it doesn’t really impact the viewing experience. I tend to make these problems seem bigger than they actually are, so not watching a movie based on someone else’s judgement isn’t very smart. I’m saying don’t say you can’t see, if you haven’t seen the movie

@Gman

We don’t just live in an age of technology, we live in an age of internet crime. That’s why when I report the videos to YouTube, I say spam or misleading. It’s not the fact that’s what they are it’s to draw attention to them

IKR

The most disappointing thing for me is how WB will let these leaks stay up for days, even weeks sometimes, but will strike content creators who use 5 sec of unedited footage within the hour. >:(

Honestly, I do have to say Madison Russell in KOTM kinda faded into the background in the third act.

and about G'14, I would watch it if I could actually see it (you know what I mean).

Oh, ok.

But still, we can all agree that WW84 is a sour subject at this point.

sonictiger,
A few things from it leaked pre-release, but there were also far less theaters open around the world in December.

Y'know... thinking back on it--As much as I love Elizabeth Olson as an actress and appreciate the nuance she gave Elle, the character really had nothing to do, but be a worry wart the entire film.

WOW, LOL.

And as we all know, Wonder Woman 1984 was a disappointing mess.

What's funny is that WW84 never leaked online pre-release...
