Reason this is 100X better than snyders

THE *beep* SCORE is actually a real score that caters to the emotions and atmosphere of the plot, characters, and scene.

The sorry excuse for a score and the even more terrible soundtrack used in Snyders film was irritating and distracting, it actually took away meaning and importance from quite a few scenes. Although, I still enjoyed the film. The casting was spot on and a few of the characters (night owl, rorshach, comedian) where portrayed very acurately.

Does anybody else agree the score in the animated motion comic is just beautiful music to your ears compared to 99 red balloons? *cringe* *sigh*

I dont get it

I'm not crazy about the score neither but i like to think that it was idea od the studio and snyder had to give them that. i dont know if that is the case but i lik to think it is

"The Winchester!"

This did suffer, however, with only one person doing the voices. They could have at least gotten 2 people, a guy for the male roles and a girl for the female roles.

I thought Snyder's score was absolutely beautiful (both the OST (except for the Halleluja used in that sex scene....ugh) and the Score by Tyler Bates (personaly favourites are "Edward Blake The Comedian" (which has a beautiful Blade Runner sort of thing going on) and "You Quit").

I think I'm the only one that thinks that the score used in this version can only fit this version, and the version in the film could only fit that film. Both added a particular mood and both were great.

snyder did a fantastic job in putting 99 red balloons in the movie. why? because the song was a very well known (it was recorded in '82) cold war-era protest song, an event upon which the graphic novel, as well as the movie, built its plot, characters, and the overall feel.
