Tron: Legacy
Best answer. Got motherfuckin Daft Punk for that movie. Have never rewatched the movie but listened to the soundtrack hundreds of times
Reconfigured version goes off, but the normal version is still so much better than the movie. I didnt hate the movie but I too haven’t rewatched it.
Great answer. I still like the beginning where he parachutes.
Tenacious D’s Pick of Destiny
I knew the soundtrack by heart before I ever stepped into the cinema so it was never gonna live up to the hype but goddamn.
The movie wasn’t terrible, just a regular stoner movie, but the soundstrack was indeed leagues better than the movie. It’s hard to match perfection though.
If tenacious D is perfection then I’ve been aspiring to all the wrong things. Dang
Judgement Night. A decidedly milquetoast movie but holy shit that soundtrack was nothing but bangers.
Formative years memory activated. I must have had that soundtrack on repeat for months when it was released. Movie was awful.
Thank you for the recommendation.
I found Requiem for a dream boring and depressing but the main soundtrack is pretty good.
It’s SO boring.
Thor: Love and Thunder
The Crow. Movie was just so cheesy, but the soundtrack is just some of the best alternative songs from the time. A lot of original songs made for the soundtrack too.
Drive.
Ryan Gosling plays the main character but is completely emotionless. It’s actually so bad it’s funny. The soundtrack is great though
Nightcall by Kavinsky is just so good
Is this another (real human) bean meme?
Not sure if soundtrack === score here but I really enjoyed :
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Pirates of the Caribbean 3
Angels and Demons
Star Trek : Into Darkness
Godzilla (1998) soundtrack, with that Come With Me song by Puff Daddy, along with many other bangers.
judgement night and spawn.
Black Adam was kinda mid, but boy did it have such awesome music. I encourage you to listen to “Teth-Adam” and “The Justice Society Theme”.
St Elmo’s Fire. I only watched it because of the catchy “full eighties” title track and discovered that said title track totally outclassed the movie.
Kikujiro, 100%. Beautiful soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi so I blindly watched the movie with a friend. It made no sense (maybe cultural differences? lmao) and left us wondering “WTF” after the random child molestation scene which I think happened near the beginning. Maybe the movie is okay and we brought this upon ourselves by watching it with no context, but man, it was nothing like the music.
Skate Kitchen. I watched it because I like the Clairo song that’s on the soundtrack and it’s about skateboarding, but this has to be the most boring coming of age movie I’ve ever seen. Not helped by Jaden Smith’s terrible acting
I think Watchmen probably qualifies here.
But it wasn’t a bad movie. Maybe not the absolute peak of cinema, but it’s no where near “terrible”. They did a lot of things very right. Rorschach, for example, was absolutely perfect. Exactly like the graphic novel.
That was a decent movie imo. I know it’s subjective, but I thought people liked it.
