Everyone else wavers from a 2.5 to a 2.<br /><br />Tahmeed:<br /><br />No. <br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />Courtyard Apocalypse - (Again Desplat delivering the needed intensity still within the framework of Potterdom's musical voice, and with a genuine epic quality within it again that offers something special for the final act. There such a palatable emotional undercurrent in the almost simple yet potent combination of strings and the percussion.)<br /><br />Buckbeak's flight - (Really terrific work from Williams again that plays a bit with his usual style nicely with his heavy drums that open it to slowly building towards such a genuine splendor that seems to evoke the images of the flight within the notes. Williams crafting again a piece that call upon his other fantastical works though here with just the right tenets of the musical language he granted to Potter.)<br /><br />Lily's Theme - (The old single somber voice is something I think can get tired easily, but here is an example where I love it. Perhaps because of the way Desplat so modestly uses like an echo that seems to evoke the past rather than the present. He then so poignantly segues to the still modest orchestra realization of a simple yet powerful melody that just seems perfect for the idea of Harry's Mother.)<br /><br />A Window to the past - (Love the use of the recorder where again Williams proves his ability a little outside his expected work in this score. The whole introduction is beautiful inn its restraint before slowly building upon in perhaps more classical Williams fashion yet brilliantly so before its outro where it again returns to that quiet theme.)<br /><br />Hedwig's Theme - (The reason you get Williams. The main Potter melody is perfection as again with the very best of Williams the moment you hear it you exactly think of Potter. A particularly memorable introduction of this though was found through the music box intro that is simply splendid and is properly magical for the lack of a better word. This leads though in to such great segue as he brings the strings changing the melody to the brass before expanding upon it seemingly opening the world all the more. The piece was essential as it helped set the tone for the series, and did so incredibly effectively.)<br /><br />In terms of the Mary Magdalene trailer I can't quite say my exact take as there were moments where it really seemed to work, mostly those focusing directly on Mara, and other times seemed a potential disaster. I'll say I'm cautiously interested to see how it turns out as it could be great or it could be terrible.<br /><br />Calvin:<br /><br />Would've have liked to have seen the vision scene in the actual movie. Otherwise I will say it was pretty good, though I am always suspicious of these more intense Marvel trailers after what they pulled with Age of Ultron and Iron Man 3. I just hope Brolin is genuinely menacing and not just made to be another joke. <br /><br />Yes. <br /><br />Mulan I think is one they should make as a non-musical as the central idea could make a great film completely outside of the original Disney interpretation.

While I don't think he would ever have been great, he definitely could have been much better with a better script and direction.<br /><br />For the preequels as a whole, my favourite was McGregor. I couldn't really pick one scene that I'd say was outstanding, but looking at the trilogy, for me, he was the most consistently servicable, and he really seemed to have fun with the role. If they indeed make a post Ep. III Obi-Wan movie, I wouldn't mind seeing him back in the robes.Lezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04444861894143771110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-75942917283483122852017-11-29T15:45:37.375-05:002017-11-29T15:45:37.375-05:00Lezlie: I'd say the same as Robert.

But I would say the best ACTED scene in the prequels surprisingly came from Christensen in Episode III when he finds out Padme is pregnant.
