Is it me or is the music boring as batsh*t?!


To me, the musical score of any film is the icing on the cake. Its job is to set the final mood and emotional overtones of the film.

The score of this move FAILED to do any of the above. It's just a continuous stream of drones that goes nowhere. It doesn't even relate to the action on the screen.

It's like the composer never even saw the film - he just provided a whole load of drones that the poor editor then had to fit into the movie.

Yes, the music was sentimental schlock. I wish that directors had the sense when NOT to use cheesy sentimental music, it frustrates the crap out of me and takes the real drama out of the scene.
