Can't say I'm too impressed with his Tintin score


I've listened to it a dozen times since I got it and it hasn't got that spark, that magic. It just sounds like all his other stuff. But besides from that, the one thing that really irks me is that... SO much of it is just so random! So much so in fact that it's too much to recall unless you live off the entire CD and have every single second etched into your brain. Which won't be happening for me any time soon.
Also, I don't like any of the "themes", if you can call them that. I can't even recall Tintin's theme off the top of my head. Only reason I can with Snowy's theme is because it's about four notes and he's already used it before in other things. Disappointing. Was hoping he'd bring back the magic into movie scores. I think overall it's very lame.

War Horse is quite a beautiful score, with lovely themes. Tintin basically HAS no themes!
